Stairway Accidents
In a typical year in the United States, more than 1,300 people lose their lives and many thousands more are injured in falls on defective steps and staircases, ranking us number one in the world for stairway accidents.* In many cases, the injured party is either old or a young child, and, too often, the fall could have been prevented if the stairs and railings had been properly constructed or maintained.

We Will Help You Keep More of Your Money
Insurance settlements and jury verdict awards are subject to liens. We devote a substantial amount of our practice to estate planning and asset preservation. We offer the advantage of helping our personal injury clients use estate preservation strategies to reduce liens. Through lien reduction strategies, trusts and other instruments, we can help you retain control over a larger portion of your settlement than other litigation firms may be able to do.
