Serious Injury due to the Carelessness of Another
A variety of serious and even catastrophic injuries occur as a result of the carelessness of others. Auto, bus and truck injuries happen because of driver carelessness and inattentiveness. Unfortunately, people are texting, eating, putting on make-up, shaving and doing countless other activities which are inconsistent with driving a personal car, bus or service delivery vehicle. The law requires that when a person or company is responsible for your injuries, you should be compensated for your medical bills, lost wages and all of the harm caused by the individual's carelessness.
If you have suffered an injury (whether physical or emotional), you may have the right to a pursue a injury claim or file a injury lawsuit to recover everything you have lost as a result (pain and suffering, doctor and hospital bills, medication, therapy, lost wages, future earning capacity, and other losses).
We hope that you never have to face the loss of a loved one because of someone else's careless behavior. However, if you do, we can help. Call us! Most wrongful death lawsuits or claims are filed by someone like you --- a surviving spouse, child, parent or relative of the deceased person. In some instances, these claims are filed in order to obtain monetary damages to cover the earnings the deceased person would have provided the loved one. Other damages that may be recovered include:
Pain, suffering or mental anguish suffered by the survivor of the decedent
Loss of companionship, care or protection
Loss of inheritance from an untimely death
Punitive damages, intended to punish wrongdoers and prevent them from harming others.
Medical Malpractice
Malpractice is the failure of a medical provider or facility to meet the standard of good medical practice in their area of specialty. Malpractice can take several different forms, including:
Gross Medical Error - Amputating the wrong leg; leaving a sponge, scissors or gauge inside of you after the operation
Delayed Diagnosis - Informing you too late about cancer discovered years ago
Failure to Diagnose - Informing you too late about a condition that should have been discovered years ago
Misdiagnosis - Calling the malignant cyst in your breast benign
Medication Errors - prescribing the wrong drug, or too much or too little of a drug
Emergency Room Malpractice - below standard medical treatment provided by a hospital's emergency department
Occurrences of medical malpractice may not be obvious to the average person. Accurate identification of medical carelessness requires a review of records and discussion with experts in the medical field. We work with such experts daily, and can help you determine if someone is responsible for your injuries. If you feel you have been injured as a result of medical negligence, call our office as soon as possible to discuss your legal rights.
Many of our elderly and disabled are being subjected to a new epidemic. It is called nursing home abuse and neglect. There are over a million reports of elder abuse by nursing home staff on a yearly basis in the United States. Unfortunately, that number is rapidly increasing due to the expansion of elder population in the U. S. Sadly, it's estimated that as many as 35,000 die prematurely every year due to abuse and neglect. A flood of lawsuits have been filed across the country and grieving families are seeking compensation for pain, suffering and the untimely deaths of loved ones.
When faced with nursing home abuse, residents and family member are often left feeling confused and angry over the violation of trust by these facilities. If you or one of your loved ones has been a victim of elderly abuse, The Garrow Law Firm, may be able to assist you with protecting your legal rights.
Injuries can occur on the property of another due to the property owner's failure to provide adequate security on the property, or otherwise keep the property free of hazard. You may be able to receive just compensation from injuries caused by the property owner, or someone engaged in reckless behavior on the property.
Drug and Medical Products Liability
Drugs and medical products with deadly or dangerous side effects can cause lasting injury to the unsuspecting consumer. Many people are not aware that FDA approval is no guarantee that the drug or medical product is safe. Sometimes their potential dangers were not anticipated during clinical trials. On occasion, the drug company does not disclose all relevant information to government officials, or convince them that the "black box" labeling is adequate when it is not. And money and profits play a big part in the "rush" to get and keep certain drugs on the market. Unfortunately, the FDA often learns that such labeling should have been stronger AFTER many people are injured.
