• DUI/DWI
• Wrongful Death
  Often, people must place a loved one in a nursing home because their options are severely restricted, and their loved one requires significant care. The care may involve making sure that a complex medication regimen is followed, or that mental health problems are treated. Sometimes the nursing home staff is negligent in caring for a patient, and the consequences of this negligence can be catastrophic injuries or even fatal injuries. It is important to be alert to the possibility of nursing home negligence affecting a family member who is in a nursing home. Signs of abuse and negligence can include bedsores, personality changes, depression, and unexplained bruises and fractures. Once you remove your loved one from a home where they have been harmed, you should contact an attorney to find out whom you can hold accountable. Wrongful Death

Employment Law

• Workers Compensation
  In North Carolina, an individual may file a claim with the Industrial Commission pursuant to the North Carolina Workers' Compensation Act if they have an on-the-job injury. This law was passed as a compromise between employers and employees on how to compensate injured workers' on-the-job injuries. Employers gave up the right to claim that an employee contributed to the accident thereby barring his or her right of any recovery. The employee, among many things, gave up the right to recover pain and suffering in most but not all cases. Am I Covered?

• Medical Malpractice
  Medical malpractice occurs when a doctor breaches the accepted standard of care in his or her community or a similarly situated community resulting in injury or death to the patient. Doctors, nurses, hospitals, dentists or any medical providers for that matter are accountable if they do not adhere to these acceptable standards of practices. Bringing a medical malpractice claim does not only assist the injured patient or his family, but can also in many instances improve the standard of medical care at that facility, hospital or medical providers' offices for all community members in the future.
• Auto Accidents
• Dog Bites
  Property owners have an obligation to lawful visitors to keep their property reasonably safe. If you are injured as a result of a dangerous condition on someone else’s property, you may be able to bring a premises liability lawsuit. These cases can be brought due to slip and falls, dog bites, lead poisoning, inadequate security, elevator accidents, and construction accidents, among other events. For example, if you slip on a puddle in a grocery store and fracture your knee and ankle, you may be able to recover damages from the grocery store owner. In a premises liability lawsuit, you can recover damages if you were injured because of a dangerous property condition, and the property owner knew or should have known about the dangerous condition but failed to repair that condition in a reasonable amount of time.
