Getting Car Accident Victims the Compensation They
Deserve
Car accident victims need attorneys. Until they retain one, the
insurance companies know that they are dealing with someone who
does not know the laws as well as they do. Without a lawyer, a person
who is stressed from dealing with the financial, physical, and emotional
consequences of an injury is more likely to accept an unfair settlement.
At Sheldon J. Schlesinger, P.A., our personal injury attorneys have
assisted many people who suffered injuries in car accidents. If
you or someone you love has been hurt in a car crash, contact
us for a free initial consultation with an experienced car
accident lawyer.
Drunk Driving Car Accidents
Tragically, many car and truck accidents are preventable. This is
especially true if the driver was intoxicated. Our lawyers are familiar
with the issues surrounding drunk driving cases. We have read many
toxicology reports and conducted many investigations. We also handle
cases that involve bars and house parties who serve people who are
clearly intoxicated.
Semi Tractor
Trailer Accidents
Truck accidents cause a lot of damage. Our lawyers handle all types
of truck accident cases, including those that involve
* Detaching trailers
* Product liability
* Drunk or fatigued drivers
* Negligent hiring practices
Truck companies are professionals, so they are adept at defending
themselves. Fortunately, with over fifty years of experience, we
have the knowledge and skill necessary to prevail against them.
Motorcycle
Accidents
Every cyclist knows that if he gets into an accident, the injuries
are likely to be serious or fatal. Many of the injuries that we
have seen include
* Traumatic brain injury
* Spinal cord injury
* Back injury
* Head and neck injury
* Broken bones
* Burns
Juries are sometimes biased against the cyclist. However, we are
persuasive. With our careful investigation and reconstruction, we
can show both jury and opposing counsel what really happened that
day.
