The law requires that drivers exercise reasonable care for the safety of others. When they don't and someone gets injured, the at-fault driver, usually through his insurance company or employer, must compensate the injured party. We have experience (and success) handling all sorts of motor vehicle accidents such as car crashes, truck accidents, pedestrian knock downs, bus accidents, motorcycle crashes, railroad accidents and boating accidents.

Doctors, nurses and other health care professionals have a solemn responsibility to practice carefully in accordance with accepted standards of care. When they fail to do so, the results can often be catastrophic. Patients can suffer grievous injuries including brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, limb amputations and death. Particular cases we have handled include birth injuries (including labor and delivery failures resulting in brain injury, cerebral palsy or brachial plexus/Erb's palsy), botched operations, failure to diagnose and treat cancer, emergency room failures and misreading of radiological imaging.

Manufacturers who create defective, harmful products can be held accountable for causing serious personal injuries. Lawyers sometimes overlook these potential claims. For example, if there's an auto accident, one might think only to sue the at-fault driver. But what if the seat belt failed, thereby turning what may have been minor injury into a serious injury? The lawyers at SHAPIRO, COHEN & BASINGER, LTD. thoroughly analyze your case to pursue all claims and thereby maximize your compensation.
