Wrongful Death and Catastrophic Injury
Several Page Perry partners have extensive experience representing individuals who have suffered staggering losses as a result of a catastrophic injury. Such injuries may result from the carelessness of drivers, property owners, manufacturers, or health care providers if they depart from generally accepted standards of care. The legal term for such carelessness is negligence, which simply means the failure to exercise reasonable care, which can result in legal liability if the negligence causes death or serious injury. Here are some examples of the types of negligence cases that have been handled by Page Perry lawyers:
- Tractor trailer accidents
- Dangerous and defective premises
- Construction defects
- Inadequate security and protection from violent crime
- Car and motorcycle collisions
- Pedestrian injuries
- Road design defects
- Medical malpractice
- Defectively manufactured products
- Unsafe prescription drugs and medical devices
- Tainted and contaminated foods
- Fires and explosions
- Toxic chemical exposure
- Environmental hazards and nuisances
- Police misconduct
- Industrial accidents
- Injuries caused by serving alcohol to minors or intoxicated persons
- Sexual abuse
Many of these cases have resulted in substantial verdicts or settlements, depending upon the severity of the injury, the amount of insurance coverage available to the negligent party, and whether there was some contributory fault on the part of the injured party. Every case must be evaluated on its own merits, but the attorneys of Page Perry are committed to obtaining as large a recovery as possible under the unique circumstances of your case.
