Automobile Accidents Burns Consumer Protection Consumer protection laws are designed to ensure fair competition and the free flow of truthful information in the marketplace. The laws are designed to prevent businesses that engage in fraud or specified unfair practices from gaining an advantage over competitors and may provide additional protection for the weak and unable to take care of themselves. Call the lawyers at Wimer Law Offices for consultation related to consumer Protection laws. Defamation is defined as an untrue statement which causes ridicule and as a result causes you damages. Libel is a defamatory statement made in writing and slander is one made orally. Even if the statements fit into one of these categories, which are not all inclusive, it is not defamatory if it is true. Truth is an absolute defense in defamation cases. |

| Legal Malpractice Legal malpractice is the term for negligence, breach of fiduciary duty by an attorney that causes harm to his or her client. In order to rise to an actionable level of negligence, the injured party must show that the attorney's acts were not merely the result of poor strategy, but that they were the result of errors that no reasonable attorney would make. Furthermore, legal malpractice requires the showing of an injury that would not have happened had the attorney not been negligent. A common basis for a legal malpractice claim arises where an attorney misses a deadline for a filing of a paper with the court, such as a statute of limitations, and this error is related to the loss of the client's cause of action. |
|||
| Liquor Liability Liquor liability laws describe circumstances when a person is financially liable for serving an alcoholic beverage to a visibly intoxicated person. The laws in Pennsylvania hold a bar owner and bartender responsible for the harm caused by serving a drink to an intoxicated person. Liability is often part of a DUI case and could be assigned to restaurants, liquor stores, clubs and private events like home parties. That party could be liable if the intoxicated person commits a crime. |
|||
| Medical Malpractice Medical malpractice is a doctor’s failure to exercise the degree of care and skill that a physician or surgeon of the same medical specialty would use under similar circumstances. In other words, this poor standard of care is negligence from a health professional that leads to injury. If you suspect medical malpractice, call Wimer Law Offices in Pittsburgh for a free consultation. |

Toxic Tort Pharmaceutical toxic tort cases are often litigated against drug manufacturers and distributors, as well as prescribing physicians. However, pharmaceutical toxic tort cases differ from medical malpractice actions because they are essentially product liability cases, the defective product being the drug. Occupational toxic tort cases arise from work but differ from workers' compensation claims, because workers' compensation claims are made against the worker's employer, while an occupational toxic tort case usually must be brought against "third parties," i.e., people or entities other than the employer. |

Truck Accidents An accident that involves a big rig or 18-wheeler and an ordinary vehicle commonly includes serious injury and death in the passenger vehicle, since cars are designed to handle impacts from other normal sized vehicles, not tractor-trailers.

Workers Compensation Almost all employers must, by law, provide workers’ compensation benefits free of charge to their employees.
