Car and Trucking Accidents
Car and trucking accidents are all too common, and often, they cause devastating injuries. Many times, car accidents occur because a driver was negligent and not paying proper attention or obeying road rules. When you’re a victim of another driver’s negligence, you deserve compensation for damages to yourself, passengers, and your vehicle. Our firm has fought for clients in cases where drivers have been in an accident for the following reasons:
- Running a red light
- Speeding
- Failure to yield
- Inattentive driving
- Unsafe lane change
- Driving while sleepy, intoxicated or under the influence
Medical Malpractice
Medical malpractice can take many forms. When a medical professional fails to meet the accepted standard of care and causes injury to a patient, this is considered medical malpractice, and it can have consequences that last a lifetime for the victim. We’ve litigated cases of medical malpractice that include some of the following injuries and errors:
- Brain injuries
- Misdiagnosis
- Failure to diagnose
- Medication errors
- Birth injuries
- Failure to keep accurate medical records
- Surgical errors
- Failure to promptly treat a distressed patient
- Anesthesia errors
- Emergency room errors
Nursing Home Abuse
When leaving elderly loved ones in the care of a nursing home, it’s expected that they’ll be safe and cared for. Unfortunately, this is too often not the case. Nursing home abuse and negligence has a devastating impact on families. Many of these instances are a result of inadequate staffing, but all facilities have a duty to make sure they are staffed to give adequate care to all clients. Some signs of abuse and neglect you should look out for include:
- Dehydration
- Bedsores
- Unexplained bruises
- Unexpected weight loss
- Bone fractures
Product Liability
A defective product can cause serious injuries and losses, depending on the nature of the defect. In a defective product case, a number of parties along the supply chain may be liable for damages caused by a product defect. Knowledgeable Virgin Islands lawyers can help to determine which parties were at fault and gather the needed evidence for victims to obtain compensation. When pursuing a product liability case in the Virgin Islands, law firms must establish that:
- The victim suffered identifiable injuries and losses
- The product in question was defective
- The defective product caused the injuries
