DUI/DWI
Over the last four years, the United States has seen a 12% increase in auto accident deaths, according to the U.S. Department of Transportation. Many of these collisions are caused by an increase in distracted driving and driving at excessive speeds. Statistics now show that texting while driving is actually as dangerous as drunk driving.
Wrongful Death
America is facing a crisis in nursing home care. Many nursing homes are staffed with loving and compassionate people but in far too many nursing homes, our loved ones are abused and neglected. Congressional watchdog studies indicate that nursing homes are horribly understaffed and are often staffed with untrained or uncaring personnel. According to a study, one in every four nursing homes is cited for causing serious injury or wrongful death.
Traffic Violations
Traffic accidents are perhaps the most common cause of serious and catastrophic injuries. Victims of car accidents are particularly at risk of suffering life-changing injuries if they were riding their bike, walking, riding in a speeding vehicle, or involved in a crash with a large tractor-trailer. In such cases, it must be determined who was responsible for the crash and if negligence was a contributing factor in the collision.
Sex Crimes
Physical and sexual abuse of the elderly is an all too common crime. A nursing home has a duty to protect its residents from physical abuse and rape by employees or other residents. Unfortunately, the victims are often too frightened or are incapable of reporting the abuse. If physical abuse or sexual assaults are reported, they are often swept under the carpet and allowed to be repeated.
