Worker Severs Major Artery in Dayton Construction Site Accident

A construction site accident left one man in Dayton, Ohio with a severed major artery in his arm following a fall from scaffolding on July the 8th.  Robert Earley was flown by helicopter to Miami Valley Hospital in Dayton, where a team of surgeons worked to reconnect the artery and tendons for several hours.  Earley is now doing well; it is thought it will be one to two years before the arm is fully recovered.

Earley is in his late 20s, and was working at a construction site on Sabina Road when the accident occurred.  He is employed by Lynch Construction, and was working on scaffolding when he fell approximately 18 feet and landed on his arm, severing the artery.

Chad Seaman, job supervisor, stated that when Earley fell, he reached out and caught a piece of steel, which cut Earley’s arm as he hit concrete.  According to Chris Lynch of Lynch Construction, the injury was called a compression cut.  Lynch stated that the bottom of the victim’s arm was busted and cut up pretty good.

Seaman drove Earley to the Clinton Memorial Hospital after phoning to let the emergency room know they were coming.  He was then transported by Careflight to Miami Valley Hospital.  Lynch said that Seaman was the “hero of the day”, and that it is believed things would have turned out much worse if it hadn’t been for Seaman.  Earley’s family members also appreciated Seaman’s quick action.

While it isn’t known why Earley fell from the scaffolding or whether he was wearing a safety harness, falls are one of the most common causes of injuries on construction sites.  Many times, scaffolding isn’t set up properly or isn’t secure which raises the risk of accidents.

Construction site accidents are very common; this is an industry that has one of the highest injury rates in the country.  If you or a loved one have been injured in a construction site accident, you may be eligible for compensation of costs associated with your injuries.  Contact the New York construction accident attorneys at Brown Chiari for a free evaluation of your claim.  Our Buffalo injury attorneys have a wealth of experience with Construction Accidents in the greater New York area.

$54.5 Million Awarded in Florida Homeowners Lawsuit Against Miami Drywall Company

In a suit brought against Banner Supply by many homeowners throughout the state of Florida, a tentative settlement of $54.5 million has been reached earlier this month.  The defective products lawsuit was brought against the company following the discovery that the drywall contained harmful toxins that were contributing to corroding electrical wiring and pipes, as well as emitting foul odors causing breathing problems and headaches in homeowners.

Various builders throughout the Florida area purchased 1.4 million sheets of the defective drywall from the Miami based company.  The drywall, Chinese drywall, was imported in to the United States following the devastation that took place during Hurricanes Katrina and Rita due to the increasing need to rebuild homes.

Banner Supply was not the only company to sell the drywall; the company purchased the defective drywall from a German distributor, Knauf Group.  Banner maintains that they were lied to about the quality of the product prior to purchasing.  While the company was forced to pay out a portion of this large settlement, they do intend to seek damages from the distributors and manufacturers who handled the products prior to Banner receiving them.

While it isn’t clear who is ultimately responsible for the defective drywall, the Chinese manufacturer, American supplier or the German distributor, it is clear that the homeowners are exuberant in their win.

Defective or faulty products are responsible for thousands of serious and fatal injuries every year.  In this case, it appears that the physical symptoms (headache, difficulty breathing) could have easily led to more serious injuries.

McDonough, GA Retailer Recalls 500 Lbs. Ground Beef Products

The FSIS (Food Safety and Inspection Service) announced on May 25, 2011 that 500 pounds of ground beef have been recalled by Food Depot #24 in McDonough, GA after it was found that the products may be contaminated with E. Coli O157:H7.

The ground beef products were produced on May 19th and sold to customers of the store located at 560 Macon Street in McDonough.  Sell by dates on the products is 5/20/11.  The various products include 1 lb. up to 4 lb. tray packs of ground beef products.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s FSIS routinely conducts monitoring of food products, and checks to verify that retailers, firms and other establishments with foods that have been recalled notify customers.  The FSIS also checks to ensure that foods that are recalled are not longer available to customers.

The E. Coli bacteria in the ground beef products was detected through routine monitoring.  FSIS confirmed that the products tested positive for E. Coli O157:H7.  As of May 25th, no illnesses had been reported in association with the recalled products.

Customers who purchased the ground beef products should contact the company’s corporate office at (770) 474-5904 with questions or concerns.

When handling ground beef and other raw meats or poultry, it is suggested that you wash hands with soap and water for a minimum of 20 seconds both before and after handling the meats.

Any items that come in to contact with raw meats should be washed in hot soapy water.  Ground beef products should always be cooked to an internal temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit.  It is important to check internal temperatures; checking color to ensure it is well cooked is not a reliable indicator.

E. Coli food poisoning typically produces mild symptoms in healthy adults.  These symptoms may include bloody diarrhea, abdominal cramps, nausea and dehydration.  In those most at risk kidney failure can occur.  Children, seniors and individuals with a weakened immune system are most susceptible to serious complications from E. Coli.

Shoplifting in Indiana is One Crime You Do Not Want to Be Found Guilty Of

Shoplifting in Indiana is serious business, and a criminal offense that could leave you not only humiliated, but facing steep fines and possible jail time.  Current economic times are tough, and many families cannot afford to buy groceries and other household necessities – but is it really worth stealing?  Considering that shoplifting in Indiana could impact your life in many ways, it’s hardly worth taking that chance.

You may have been charged with shoplifting in Indiana and you are not guilty.  Whether guilty or innocent, you need a capable attorney on your side to represent your rights.  A competent lawyer will be able to prove your innocence if indeed you are innocent of the charges against you.  If you did steal goods or services that did not belong to you, a skilled Indiana shoplifting attorney can often have the charged against you either dropped or reduced, lessening the impact on your life.

If you took something of minor value not knowing the serious implications of shoplifting in Indiana, it’s likely that you are frightened and really don’t know what to do.  A seasoned Indiana criminal lawyer will help you, explaining the charges you are facing, the process, and what may be done to protect your rights and freedom.  Even for a first offense, fines and imprisonment penalties can be harsh.  You need the support of a knowledgeable, experienced Indian shoplifting attorney.

Shoplifting in Indiana doesn’t always mean that you physically removed an item from a store that you did not pay for.  It could be that you received stolen property knowing it was stolen, changed a price tag on an item, or even paid for merchandise using a form of payment that you knew was no good, such as writing a hot check.  Many people believe that shoplifting only means taking an item without paying for it, but his is erroneous.

The penalties you may face depend upon the value of the merchandise taken along with other factors.  If you stole goods valued at under $250, you will likely be charged with a class A misdemeanor of criminal conversion.  Goods valued at more than $250 constitute a class D felony theft offense.  Either way, you are looking at much more than you bargained for.

Never take shoplifting in Indiana lightly, but if you do get charged with a criminal offense, depend on a reputable attorney to represent your rights.  Without skilled legal counsel, your chances of having charges dropped or reduced are slim to none.

DuPont and Contractor Blamed for Deadly Explosion That Left One Man Dead in Tonawanda Last Year

On November 9th of last year, one man was killed and another seriously injured following the explosion of a 10,000 gallon tanker in Tonawanda, NY at the DuPont plant on River Road.  At the time of the explosion, it wasn’t clear what had caused it.  According to police, the two men were working for an outside contractor when the deadly accident took place.

Now, 6 months later, DuPont and the contractor the two men were working for are being blamed by OSHA.  Mollenberg-Betz is the contractor the men were working under; according to OSHA, the explosion could have been prevented if DuPont and the contractor had anticipated hazards. (article by injury attorney in Buffalo NY at Brown Chiari)

The tank the two men were working on was normally filled with a chemical called poly vinyl fluoride, but was said to be empty as they worked on the tanker on that fateful day.  The 57-year-old man who lost his life was welding on top of the tank when it exploded.  It was reported that sparks from his welding torch ignited vapors, leading to the explosion; he was killed instantly.  The victim that sustained serious injuries was 50 years old.

The Buffalo contractor was cited with eight violations, DuPont received nine violations.  OSHA found during investigations that while the tank the two men were working on was empty, it was still connected to two other tanks that were in operation.

DuPont is charged with failing to inform the contractor about the explosive hazards around the tank.  They are also charged with not informing the contractor about the plant’s control program for hazardous energy, as well as the potential dangers of welding around the tank.

OSHA found both the contractor and DuPont negligent because neither made certain that the tank was indeed empty before the welder began to work.  This tragic accident could have been avoided if the proper safety measures had been in place.

A Kansas City Personal Injury Lawyer is Dedicated to Protecting the Rights of Accident Victims

A reputable personal injury attorney Kansas City dedicates his/her time and effort to making sure that the rights of accident victims are protected.  Those who have been injured in car wrecks, slip and fall accidents and in other ways because someone else was negligent face many challenges.  The costs of these injures are not only monetary, but emotional and physical as well.

When someone is injured due to no fault of their own it can be devastating.  A Kansas City personal injury lawyer works hard to ensure that a victim is compensated for their injuries so that they can get back on track to a somewhat normal life.  Compensation may include not only costs related to the injuries, but also for lost wages, pain and suffering and in some circumstances punitive damages.

If you become injured because someone else was negligent you should not be expected to pay all of the expenses related to your injuries; those responsible must be held accountable.  A qualified Kansas City personal injury attorney will work to prove the guilt of the responsible party and help victims get the justice they deserve.

Many people tend to associate personal injury lawsuits with car wrecks but it goes far beyond that.  Motorcycle, construction, truck and railroad accidents, dangerous drugs or medical devices and nursing home abuse/neglect also fall under personal injury.  Any time an individual suffers injuries that are caused by someone else it is important to consult with a Kansas City personal injury lawyer.

You may be thinking there is no need to talk to an attorney because the insurance company will compensate you for the damages.  This is a huge mistake.  Insurance companies are in business to make money; they will offer a cheap settlement that is only a fraction of the compensation you should be awarded.

It makes no difference whether an individual suffers only minor injuries or life-altering injuries.  If they are severe enough to cause you to be unable to work or seek medical attention, a Kansas City personal injury attorney will help you recoup these costs, and even plan for compensation of medical expenses or related costs they may continue well in to the future.  Don’t let the negligent actions of someone else change the course of your life.  Consult with a compassionate, experienced attorney right away.  You need strong legal counsel by a lawyer with a winning track record for reaching successful verdicts on behalf of his/her clients.

Tough Indiana DUI Laws Make This a Criminal Offense You Do Not Want to Face

Indiana DUI laws are harsh; you do not want to get arrested for driving under the influence, but when you do it is essential that you contact a top Indiana DUI lawyer at once.  We all make mistakes – even teachers, doctors and lawyers can make a bad decision and get behind the wheel of a car after a drink.  By understanding Indiana DUI laws and what you may be facing, it might help you think twice before making the mistake of drinking and driving.

Unfortunately, many people think that getting arrested for DUI is no big deal.  It absolutely IS!  It is a criminal offense, and one that if convicted of will affect your reputation and leave you with a criminal record.  Steep fines and jail time are just two of the penalties you may be facing.  With each and every subsequent offense, the penalties become even more harsh.

Our Indiana DUI Office is located at: 201 N. Illinois St., Indianapolis, IN 46204 (317) 273-8888

According to Indiana DUI laws you have only a short period of time in which to preserve your legal rights.  Never assume that because you are an upstanding citizen without prior arrests or convictions that you will be let off lightly.  It is the job of a prosecutor to punish individuals who are charged with driving while under the influence.  You have to look out for your own best interests, and part of your responsibilities is contacting a reputable attorney.

That being said, it is often the Indiana DUI laws that can work for you if you choose to work with an experienced lawyer.  You must be proven guilty, and are innocent until proven otherwise.  A compassionate lawyer will challenge all of the evidence brought against you, such as breath test results and the actions of the arresting police officer.  Did he/she have cause to pull you over?  Were test results accurate and reliable?  A qualified lawyer can often use the Indiana DUI laws to have charges against you dropped completely, or at least reduced so that the impact to your life is lessened.

It’s important that you take Indiana DUI laws seriously; penalties in this state are more severe than in many other states.  Whether you have been arrested for driving under the influence or just want to know what to expect should you ever be pulled over, be aware that this isn’t child’s play.  Depending on whether you have been convicted on DUI charges before, you could be facing loss of your driving privileges, thousands of dollars in fees and years behind bars.  Don’t take that chance.

Lawsuit Loans are a Simple Way to End Financial Worries While Pursuing Justice

Are you the victim in a personal injury lawsuit?  Is the insurance company trying to pressure you in to a cheap settlement?  You are the one who is injured; lawsuit loans help you pay your bills and live as you normally would while going after what is rightfully yours.  Someone else caused your injuries, and you should be fully compensated.  Settlement funding has helped tens of thousands of people avoid settling for less than they deserve because of financial worries; it can help you as well.

People don’t think about it until they become injured and their lives are upset in ways they never dreamed possible.  You’re injured, and possibly unable to work.  On top of the regular household bills, you now have medical expenses.  Your income has been reduced because you are unable to work.  Lawsuit loans help you pay these bills and live as you are accustomed to, so that you can continue with your lawsuit and get the full settlement that you are entitled to.  Litigation funding companies are extremely easy to deal with, and the process is easy.

Lawsuit loans are easy to apply for.  A simple application will be filled out by your attorney, who will fax it to the settlement funding company.  This application pertains only to the details of your lawsuit and nothing else.  There are no up-front costs for you to worry about, and learning whether you qualify takes 24 hours or less.  Once submitted, your application is reviewed quickly – usually the same day.  If approved, you and your attorney just sign the agreement.  That’s all there is to it.

You may only need a few hundred dollars or thousands.  With lawsuit loans, how much you qualify for will depend on how much you expect to win in your settlement.  There are no monthly payments, and you never have to worry about how you will re-pay the money if you do not win.  Settlement funding is non-recourse, meaning that you only repay the money if you do win your lawsuit.

Lawsuit loans are a good option for most people who find they cannot meet their financial obligations while involved in a lawsuit.  If you are facing financial difficulties or even fear bankruptcy is around the corner, learn more about litigation financing online or talk to your lawyer.  Help is available, and qualifying is easy.  Don’t let anyone pressure you in to settling for less than you deserve!

Queens Charter Bus Crash Leaves 15 Dead; Big Rig Flees the Scene

Just recently, 15 people died and 17 others were injured when the charter bus on which they were riding overturned near the Hutchinson River Parkway, slamming in to a sign post that sliced a good portion of the top of the bus off.  The bus, which was transporting the 32 passengers from the Mohegan Sun Casino to Chinatown, was allegedly clipped by a passing tractor-trailer rig, which did not stop.

Some of the survivors of the crash stated that the driver of the bus, 40-year-old Ophadell Williams of Brooklyn, had been dozing off sporadically before the crash occurred.  According to these passengers, Williams woke up when the bus hit the rumble strip, careening out of control.  He did pass a breathalyzer test.

While the driver of the big rig that clipped the bus did not stop, a trucker did contact police to state that he had witnessed the bus weaving and swerving as he was driving behind the bus.  The big rig of the caller was impounded so that officials could inspect it to determine if it might be the truck involved in the bus collision.

13 of the victims were pronounced dead at the scene by emergency crews, and the remaining 17 passengers were transported to Jacobi and St. Barnabas hospitals for treatment.  Two of those 17 died from their injuries on Monday.

Investigations were underway after the accident occurred, and police were in search of the driver of the tractor-trailer rig.  A black box that was found on board the bus was being reviewed to see if any light could be shed on to how and why the crash took place.

It is a tragedy for one person to die in a crash, let alone 15.  In this fatal crash, it is hard to determine whether the driver of the bus was at fault or the driver of the big rig who left the scene.  In either event, those who drive these huge vehicles must be alert at all times, which seems not to have been the case in this accident.

Stanley Security Solutions recently recalled about 63,100 7KC and 6K Series Door Locksets after finding that the latches could fail, leading to possible entrapment should an emergency arise.  It was found that some of these locks could not be unlocked from the inside, which poses a danger to an individual should they need to vacate the property in an emergency situation.  The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced this recall on March 10th.

As of the date of the recall, there had been 5 reports of faulty latches and one report of entrapment.  No injuries had been reported in relation to these lock sets as of that date.

The 6K and 7KC series medium Duty Locksets are a product of Stanley Security Solutions Inc., of Indianapolis, Indiana.  The lock sets were manufactured in Taiwan, and have a stainless steel or brass finish.  The word ‘BEST’ is also found on the key core of some of the lock sets.  The defective lock sets were sold to end users across the nation through both independent dealers and branches of the company between April 2010 and January of this year.  Prices generally range between $80 and $260.

Consumers are advised by the CPSC to contact Stanley Security Solutions to secure an appointment to have the defective lock sets replaced at no charge.  The company can be reached between the hours of 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. eastern time, Monday through Friday, at 1-888-312-8875.  CPSC is also interested in receiving further reports pertaining to this product and any injuries or incidents related to the lock sets.

Tractor Trailer Crash in Mississippi Ends With 3 Dead

On February 8th, a devastating tractor-trailer accident left 3 people dead in Jackson, Mississippi.  The tractor-trailer sideswiped a school bus and then collided with a second school bus head-on leaving the driver of the truck, the driver of one of the school buses and one teacher dead.  At least 17 high school students were injured in the crash.

The crash occurred on highway 8, about 40 miles south of the University of Mississippi at Oxford.  Approximately 60 Ackerman High School seniors had visited the campus and were on their way home when the crash took place.

Killed in the accident were Gary Bailey, 54, driver of the tractor-trailer rig, Phyllis Graham, a 53-year-old school teacher and Steven Moss, 37, driver of the second bus that was hit head-on.  Injured students were taken to area hospitals but none suffered life-threatening injuries.

Calhoun City fire chief Mike Dunagin told the Associated Press that one of the buses involved in the accident smashed up against a guard rail on an overpass bridge.  The rear half of the bus dangled precariously over the guard rail, and Dunagin said that it was very fortunate that the bus didn’t go over the edge.  The accident happened when the tractor-trailer rig swerved in to the wrong lane.

While big trucks are a necessity in our lives today, they are also the cause of many devastating accidents.  There is little to protect us as we drive or ride in cars from the overwhelming size of big trucks and commercial vehicles.  While not all accidents involving big trucks are the fault of the truck, many are.

If you or a loved one have been injured in an accident caused by a tractor-trailer or other big truck, contact a reputable New York big truck lawyer at once.  Brown Chiari is a Buffalo New York personal injury law firm dedicated to protecting the rights of those injured in big truck accidents.

Receiving a Fair Settlement after Your California Personal Injury Accident

Los Angeles car accident Lawyers can tell you that as a victim you have two years to settle a claim or file a lawsuit. There should be no regrets when you look back at your personal injury claim. Avoiding fatal mistakes that can wreck your claim will be critical in order to receive a fair settlement.

One of the fatal mistakes a number of accident victims have made is not keeping detailed records. An experienced personal injury lawyer in Los Angeles and previous accident victims can tell you, keeping detailed records is imperative to maximizing your settlement.

Economic Vs. Non-Economic Damages

In a personal injury claim you will have two types of damages. The first is referred to as economic damages and the second are called non-economic damages. Economic damages are monetary losses that have been caused by your personal injury accident. Non-economic damages are damages that are not easily summed up with a dollar value.

Receiving Economic Damages For Your Personal Injury Accident

Your personal injury claim will include a number of different economic damages. Keeping a detailed record of your damages will help you to recover the maximum settlement value. Some of these damages will include medical bills, lost pay, services that you are unable to perform because of your injuries, any loss of property, and loss of future wages.

Recording Non-Economic Damages For Your Personal Injury Claim

As mentioned earlier, it is important to keep detailed records throughout your personal injury claim. Non-economic damages will include intangible harms such as severe pain, humiliation, and loss of companionship, and physical and emotional distress. There may have been opportunities you have lost due to your injuries. There may be trips you can no longer take, or hobbies you can no longer complete.

Be Honest When Recording Your Personal Injury Damages

When recording your damages it is important to be honest. Exaggerating your damages could disqualify you in the eyes of a jury.

Norway, Iowa Company Recalls Nutmeg Potentially Contaminated With Salmonella

Frontier Natural Products Co-op of Norway, Iowa has voluntarily recalled two products manufactured with non-organic nutmeg in response to a recall announced by Mincing Overseas Spice Company, supplier of the non-organic nutmeg.  Mincing Overseas Spice is based in Dayton, New Jersey.  The nutmeg is being recalled by the company because it has the potential to be contaminated with salmonella.

The products recalled by Frontier Natural Products Co-op were distributed in all 50 states and in areas of Canada to retailers, distributors and consumers.  To date, no illnesses have been reported in relation to these products, which are:

Frontier Bulk – Nutmeg Ground, 16 oz. UPC code 0-89836-00165-8 with a lot code of 0306

Whole Foods 365 – Nutmeg Ground, 1.92 oz. UPC code 0-99482-41931-8 with a lot code of 0321

The 1.92 oz. is a bottled glass item on which the lot code is located on the bottom.  The lot code can be found on the 16 oz. item on the front label directly above the UPC code.

Earlier in the year, Mincing Overseas Spice Company was involved in another recall involving black pepper in which at least 272 people became ill after eating salami products that were coated with the black pepper.  These products were produced by Daniele Inc.  In the salami recall, salmonella montevideo and salmonella senftenberg were responsible for the illnesses.  In the case of Frontier Natural Products, it is not yet known what strain of salmonella was responsible for the recall.

In any event, it seems as though Mincing Overseas Spice may need to consider selling only spices that have been irradiated.  Simply put, irradiation is a process utilizing short wavelengths that have the ability to damage microorganisms and bacteria that contaminate foods and have the potential to cause illness.

Salmonella food poisoning usually produces only mild symptoms, but can put certain individuals at a high risk of developing serious complications.  These individuals include young children, the frail or elderly, and those with a compromised immune system such as people with HIV, those undergoing radiation or chemotherapy for cancer and other diseases, or recipients of organ transplants.

A compassionate personal injury attorney in Indiana will advise you on what action you should take and discuss the specifics of your injuries free of charge.  We realize that many “big-time” lawyers spend a ton of money advertising on television, billboards and other media.  Does this mean that they have more expertise or ability than an Indiana personal injury attorney who doesn’t spend big bucks to promote their services?  Absolutely not.  It simply means that an experienced lawyer knows that it’s more important to save those resource so that they can be used for investigation or other purposes regarding a client’s case.

Many lawyers take every injury case that walks through their door; essentially, this means that there is not sufficient time allowed to dedicate personally to each and every client.  As an Indiana personal injury attorney dedicated to victims of vehicle, motorcycle and drunk driving accidents with injury, we feel that limiting the number of clients we represent is in the best interest of that client, as we have more time to dedicate personally to reaching the desired outcome in each individual case.

Things were going along just fine, and all of a sudden you find yourself injured because of someone else’s carelessness; it can have a devastating impact on your career, your family, your future and essentially your entire life.  Those responsible should be held accountable, and you deserve just compensation for all that you have been through.  Think carefully before choosing an Indiana personal injury attorney – it could very well affect your future.

A Capable Kansas City DUI Lawyer Challenges Evidence to Preserve Your Freedom

If you have been arrested for driving under the influence, you need a capable Kansas City DUI lawyer who knows that most of the time these cases can be beaten.  You may be tempted to plead guilty, and there are instances when that is probably best – but not usually.  A competent attorney knows that there are many legal issues that can be used to protect your freedom, and prevent the charges from affecting your future.

Even if it is only your first offense, you face many penalties.  Some of these include a fine of up to $500, 6 months in jail or both.  You will be placed on probation for 1 to 2 years if convicted; you will also be required to attend a substance abuse program, and your drivers license will be suspended for 30 days after which you will be allowed to drive only to and from work for 60 days.  These are just a few of the things a qualified Kansas City DUI lawyer will discuss with you so that you understand what you may be facing if found guilty.  With penalties like these, you can just imagine the consequences of being convicted of a second or third offense!

A dedicated Kansas City DUI lawyer will place his focus on challenging the district attorney where a number of issues are concerned, including:

The reason you were stopped.  Were you pulled over for a legitimate reason?

Did police perform a field sobriety test according to protocol, and can they prove it?

If you took a breath test, was the machine in proper working order, and are the results valid?

When it comes to being arrested for driving under the influence, there are numerous factors that can be challenged.  In today’s society, law enforcement tends to go overboard at times when it comes to DUI.  You may have had one or two drinks, and police officers will treat you as though you have been indulging to the point of intoxication, when in fact you have not.

An aggressive Kansas City lawyer knows these things, and understands every nuance of the DUI laws in Kansas City.  Never choose an attorney who is not experienced, and will likely walk through a plea agreement; you deserve better.  Also be advised that you should not answer questions posed by law enforcement, and you should not offer any information.  They can and WILL use anything you may say against you.

If you have been arrested for driving under the influence, make the smart decision.  Hire a Kansas City DUI lawyer with the knowledge, expertise and skills necessary to take your case to a successful verdict.
