Pittsburgh Truck Accident Lawyers 
The trucking industry moves the goods that we use every day and is vital to our economy. Most trucking companies and their drivers try to do a professional job.  However, some cut corners and the result can be permanent injuries or death.  There are complicated regulations that govern the commercial trucks and big rigs on the road, and it is very important to hire experienced truck accident attorneys who can navigate those issues.

Some motor carriers put their drivers on the road too long.  To avoid being caught for overtime hours, some drivers falsify their log books. The result is a fatigued or impaired driver who cannot make good decisions.

Some companies hire inexperienced drivers and fail to provide safety training or monitor their drivers. These drivers may travel too fast in construction zones, ignore reduced speed limits on the interstate or drive with improperly balanced loads.

Some trucking companies take short cuts in maintaining their equipment. Defective safety equipment such as the braking system, steering system and tires can lead to accidents.

When an 18 wheeler, flatbed, coal truck or freight carrier is in an accident with a car or pedestrian, the motor carrier will likely have its investigators, claims handlers and lawyers on the scene within hours.  It is crucial for you or your family to contact experienced tractor trailer accident lawyers while the scene is still fresh.

Pittsburgh Medical Malpractice Lawyers
We are blessed in Western Pennsylvania to have some outstanding physicians and hospitals that can provide the highest standard of care. But mistakes are made, and medical errors often cause permanent injury or death.

Malpractice can result from the failure to recognize what is wrong-a failure to diagnose.  The doctor may not consider a diagnosis or fail to order appropriate tests. Some malpractice cases involve medication errors-by ordering a drug that is contraindicated, or in a dosage that is too little or too much or by not ordering appropriate tests to determine if the drug may be causing harm to some other system of the body.  Malpractice can result from surgical errors or by failing to obtain informed consent from the patient.

Medical malpractice cases are fact driven and complicated.  We have the experience to obtain reviews and testimony from top notch medical experts who can assist in determining whether there was a breach of the standard of care and the harm that resulted from the breach. 

Pittsburgh Premises Liability Lawyers

Premises liability is a term to describe the legal responsibility of an owner or occupier of land for the injuries that occur on their property.  Permanent injuries can result from falls on defective sidewalks, steps and parking lots or from the failure to remove the build up of snow and ice.  Stores can be responsible for failing to repair refrigeration units that leak onto the floor.  Landlords who don’t provide proper ventilation of gas furnace and water heating systems can be responsible for carbon monoxide poisoning to their tenants. 

Pittsburgh Liquor Liability Lawyers

Businesses licensed to serve alcoholic beverages have a responsibility to ensure that the patron is of proper age and that he is not served while visibly intoxicated.  If that occurs, the bar can be held responsible for any injuries to third parties caused by the intoxicated person.  Bars can also be responsible for injuries to the person whom they served.  Social hosts cannot serve alcohol to persons under the age of 21.  If they do, they can be responsible to the minor for injuries he sustains or to injuries to others that the minor causes.

The manufacturer or distributor of a product is responsible for injuries caused by a product that is not safe for its intended use due to a design defect, manufacturing defect or failure to warn.  These cases require engineering evaluation to determine how the accident happened and whether the product was defective. We have the experience to evaluate these matters.
