Personal Injury Law

Auto & Motorcycle Collisions

Road transportation is dangerous and many people are maimed or seriously injured every day because of driver carelessness, negligence or incompetence. The law requires all drivers to exercise the highest degree of care when they are behind the wheel of a vehicle.

Aviation

Aviation crashes have a variety of causes such as pilot or air traffic control mistakes, faulty equipment or software, unsafe flying conditions and more. At Schlapprizzi PC we engage the most knowledgeable consultants for their unrivaled expertise. We have experience representing both passengers and pilots.

Environmental & Toxic Torts

When you and your community are over exposed to hazardous chemicals or other substances in the air, water, soil or the surrounding environment you may be able to bring a lawsuit against the responsible corporations, manufacturers or other parties. 

Medical Negligence

If a medical professional or hospital deviates from their duty to a patient, the result may spell physical, mental and even financial disaster for the patient and his or her family.

Pet Injury

Dog bite claims are the most common personal injuries by domestic animals and often involve children or the elderly. The law affords pet owners, especially dog owners, certain protections from liability. It also provides those injured by a pet some avenues for recourse. 

Premises Injury

A homeowner, business owner, lessee or landlord may be responsible to some individuals for some or all of an injury that occurs on their property.

The law may hold them responsible if the cause of the injury was known or could have been known and if there was a failure to use ordinary care to remove, warn, barricade or otherwise promptly remedy a dangerous condition.

Products Liability

This area of law is designed to protect the consumer against products that are defective or unreasonably dangerous. Manufacturers and product designers, along with other parties who are selling in the supply chain, are required to do so reasonably and take ordinary care so that products can be used safely for the purpose intended.

Trucking Crashes

Due to the sheer size of over-the-road trucking vehicles, trucking crashes often result in catastrophic injuries and deaths. These crashes may be caused by violations of traffic laws, trucking regulations and other safety measures, as well as a defect with the truck itself, faulty maintenance, overloaded or unsecured loads, unqualified drivers, driver fatigue, trucking company negligence and other hazards.

Workers’ Compensation

Workers’ Compensation laws benefit workers who have been injured on the job or have been exposed to occupational diseases arising out of and during the course of employment.
