Like most Tuscaloosa attorneys we handle a wide variety of personal injury cases. Whatever your situation may be we encourage you to please contact us. Here are some of the more common types of personal injury cases that we handle:
Car/Auto Accidents
A great number of single vehicle accidents may be caused by a design defect or mechanical problem. Single vehicle accidents where the occupant received injuries worse than would be expected based on the severity of the accident can often be traced back to a defect. We handle all types of auto accidents. If you or a loved one have experienced an auto accident realted injury we can help you seek compensation.
Depuy Hip Implant Recall
If you are one of the 93,000 individuals who suffer from a Johnson & Johnson Depuy hip replacement please get in touch with us. Affected hip replacement parts involved in the recall include the DePuy ASR XL Acetabular System, which is the cup portion of a replacement hip joint, and the DePuy ASR Hip Resurfacing System. Resurfacing involves implanting a cup and capping the ball at the top of the thighbone in a procedure that preserves more bone than traditional replacements. It is geared toward younger patients. Although this recall is voluntary, DePuy also received a warning letter from the FDA that charges the company is marketing some other joint replacement products without required approval. You could be entitled to a large compensation.
Injured Children
f your child was injured there may be a cause of action. Often parents overlook the liability issues due to their concern for the safety and health of their children. Your child may also have been subjected to birth injuries including brain or spinal chord injuries as result of negligence or inexperience from medical professionals.
As attorneys, we can help you determine if there is liability in these cases and help you recover funds to assist your child with the medical bills and problems they may face in the future.
Truck Accidents
Big rig injuries can be serious. One of the most common injuries to Truckers is due to “roof crush”, the inability of the roof of the truck from protecting the driver and/or passenger in the event of a roll over.
These injuries can occur from an accident of only 20 miles per hour or less! The danger is not necessarily the speed of the truck itself, but the weight of the truck on the roof of the cab as it turns over. Quite frankly, the roof of your truck will not protect you in an accident.
Litigation against truck manufacturers is an expensive endeavor. Costs can easily reach several hundreds of thousands of dollars. Attorneys who represent injured truck drivers against a manufacturer are generally looking for cases in which the driver suffered catastrophic injuries (amputation, paralysis, nerve damage, brain damage, etc.). If you are victim of faulty equipment or any other type of truck injury please contact my office
