Services
Wrongful Death
We represent families suffering from tragic losses caused by negligence or misconduct. Our firm investigates workplace accidents, medical malpractice, and product defects to secure compensation for funeral costs, lost income, and emotional distress. With multi-million-dollar verdicts in Tuscarawas and Portage Counties, we expose wrongdoing while providing compassionate legal guidance during difficult times.
Personal Injury
Our team advocates for clients injured in automobile crashes, slip-and-fall incidents, and defective product cases. We pursue fair compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain suffering. With experience in motorcycle and truck accident litigation, we challenge insurance companies to ensure clients receive full coverage for life-altering injuries sustained through no fault of their own.
Automobile Accident
We handle all motor vehicle collision cases, including cars, motorcycles, and commercial trucks. Our firm investigates liability, documents damages, and negotiates with insurers to cover medical bills and property damage. When settlements undervalue claims, we prepare aggressive courtroom strategies to protect clients' rights following life-changing accidents caused by negligent drivers.
Workplace Injury/Death
We pursue justice for workers injured or killed on job sites due to unsafe conditions or equipment failures. Our firm handles complex cases involving hazardous material exposure, machinery malfunctions, and employer negligence. With experience in Stark County courts, we secure compensation for medical treatment, lost income, and family support when workplace tragedies occur.
Product Liability
Our firm holds manufacturers accountable for dangerous products causing injury or death. We investigate design flaws, manufacturing defects, and inadequate warnings to secure compensation for medical costs and suffering. With a $6 million verdict in Stark County, we ensure companies face consequences for prioritizing profits over consumer safety.
