Automobile Accidents

If you’ve been in an automobile accident our first priority is your personal safety. Assuming you’re in a safe enough condition, the first thing you should do is collect pictures of the accident and exchange insurance information, and then contact our office so we can help facilitate an agreement between the insurance companies. It’s not uncommon for insurance companies to try to manipulate you and have you commit to something that isn’t in your best interests.

Trucking Accidents

Trucks and 18-wheelers have to follow all the same rules that govern regular automobiles plus some specific other regulations that hold them to a higher standard. Because of their size, accidents are not as likely but the potential damages that can be sustained if involved in an accident with one can be much more serious or deadly.

Wrongful Death

A wrongful death claim can be brought up in a court of law when a person dies because of the defendant’s negligence or intentional act. In the eyes of the common law system, this is a relatively new concept. Nonetheless, every state in the U.S. has some kind of wrongful death law in its books.

Motorcycle Accidents

We risk our lives every day when we’re on the road. That is why there are so many safety practices that help guide our time driving, but motorcyclists should take further precautions when going on a drive. Although motorcycle accidents aren’t as likely as a regular vehicle accident, they can lead to more serious injury or possibly death. Here at the LOSL we strongly recommend to follow the rules of the road and be aware of your surroundings. If an accident were to occur, we’re here to help.

Premises Liability

Slip/Trip and Falls

Whether we go to the local clothing store to buy an outfit for a date or visit our local grocery store for last-minute grocery shopping, these businesses must maintain the premises in a reasonably safe condition. The law recognizes these businesses exist to make money and as a result, consumers entering these businesses are afforded certain protections from dangerous conditions on the floor.  These dangerous conditions must be eliminated or adequate warnings must be given.

When you are injured as a result of a trip or slip and fall on the premises of businesses you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries.  The majority of the time businesses have surveillance videos to fight theft.  It is important to call the LOSL fast to preserve videotaped evidence.  Always make sure a report is made before you leave the store and that witness statements are given by an eye witness to the event. The LOSL has successfully recovered compensation for people injured on the premises of businesses.
