If you’ve been injured, whether in a car or motorcycle accident, a slip or trip and fall, or even if you’re the victim of medical malpractice, sexual assault, or other crime, you will face significant challenges. You may be suffering from significant pain and inconvenience. You may be unable to work and unable to take care of your family. You may be unable to pay your bills. Fortunately, you do not need to face these challenges alone. At MPG Trial Law, we help accident victims get the compensation they need to get their lives back on track. If you have been injured due to someone else’s negligence, we can hold them accountable to get the compensation you deserve. You just focus on getting back in good health.
Motor Vehicle Accidents
Motor vehicle accident claims are among the most common personal injury cases lawyers handle. That does not mean that all of these cases should be handled in the same manner. These cases can be far more complex than many people realize. From proving liability to tracking down all possible sources of compensation to establishing and maximizing your claim for damages, a motor vehicle accident case can present numerous challenges when recovering your medical bills and other losses. MPG Trial Law’s experienced personal injury team are well versed in the nuances of car and trucking accident cases and can help you get the result you deserve.
Proving Liability
The biggest hurdle in many car accident cases is proving that the other driver’s negligence caused the accident. You may believe that the other driver was obviously at fault, but if they contest liability, your case will come down to whether or not you can prove that they were negligent. You will need strong evidence to build a compelling case to support your claim for damages.
At MPGTL, we know what it takes to build a strong claim. We conduct an independent investigation of your accident to gather the necessary evidence. We call on experts when necessary. Brick by brick, we build the strongest possible case with the goal of getting the compensation you deserve as quickly as possible.
Maximizing Your Recovery
Most non-lawyers settle their cases for far less than they are worth. As a result, they cover many of their losses out of their own pockets. This is unacceptable if someone else’s negligence caused your injury. If you have been injured in a car accident, you may be entitled to compensation for the following:
- Current and future medical expenses
- Lost income, both current and future, as well as lost earning capacity
- The cost to repair or replace your vehicle
- Any other financial losses you have suffered as a result of your accident
- Pain and suffering
We will meticulously document your economic and non-economic losses so that you can present a clear, well-established claim. We locate all possible sources of compensation and fight for maximum compensation.
Premises Liability and Slip and Fall Accidents
Property owners are legally obligated to ensure their property is safe for guests and visitors. Property owners can be negligent in the following ways:
- By failing to inspect the property for obvious hazards
- By failing to address a known hazard
- By failing to warn guests and visitors of known hazards that cannot be immediately addressed
A negligent property owner can be held liable if their negligence caused a reasonably foreseeable accident that resulted in injury. If the property owner is found liable, they may be responsible for compensating the victim for their medical bills, lost wages, and other losses.
There are many different types of premises liability claims. Slip and fall accidents are the most common—accidents that result in injuries when a person slips or trips due to a hazardous condition. These accidents can occur due to wet floors, torn carpeting, loose handrails, broken stairs, or other dangerous property conditions.
In addition to slip and fall accidents, there are other types of premises liability claims:
- Negligent security (especially at apartment complexes and hotels)
- Dog or animal attacks
- Swimming pool accidents and drownings
- Elevator and escalator accidents
- Fires
- Electrocution and electric shock
- Toxic or lead exposure
Defective Products
At any given time, there are hundreds, if not thousands, of defective products on the market available for purchase by consumers. These products can cause serious injuries and sometimes even death. If a dangerous or defective product has injured you, MPGTL can investigate your case and determine whether you may be entitled to compensation.
To be clear, a defective product is not one that is broken or malfunctioning. A defective product is one that is unreasonably dangerous for consumers, even when used properly or as intended. There are three types of defects in consumer products:
- Design defects where the product is designed in a way that makes it inherently dangerous. For example, an electric saw designed without the appropriate guard to protect the user’s hands may be considered defective by virtue of its design.
- Manufacturing defects where the product is dangerous as a result of the way it was manufactured. Using the example of the electric saw above; a manufacturing defect would be if the blade regularly fractures because the manufacturer was using poor-quality steel.
- Warning or instruction defects where the product does not include adequate warnings concerning known hazards or insufficient instructions for safe use. If the saw does not include instructions about how to use the saw safely, that would be considered a warning defect.
