Dedicated Representation for All Varieties of Serious Injuries
Attorneys David Baum and Martin Blake offer experienced representation to clients injured in any number of ways. We have recovered financial compensation for clients with serious injuries ranging from loss of sight, hearing, smell or taste, to loss of limbs, burn injuries, scarring and disfigurement, lacerations, loss of motion and loss of sexual function. A settlement or lawsuit may be necessary to obtain the compensation you need to care for such injuries and get on with your life.
The following are only a sample of the many accidents and injuries our clients have suffered:
- Workplace injuries can occur from a slip and fall on wet, cracked, slippery, or otherwise dangerous floor surfaces or from improper scaffolding. Catastrophic injuries can result from the use of defective machinery or defective industrial products, causing anything from amputation to chemical burn injuries or respiratory damage.
- Public events can lead to injuries when people are crushed, trampled, or otherwise injured due to building or fire code violations, inadequate or missing signs, poor crowd control, poor security, bad lighting or other hazards for which the premises owner or event organizer is liable.
- Medical procedures may result in injuries when the procedure is done incorrectly (such as a botched circumcision or removal of the wrong limb), when a medical device is defective, or when improper medical care is taken during the course of treating a curable disease or condition.
- Transportation injuries can result from plane, train or truck crashes, dangerous or defective highways, escalator or elevator defects, falls due to slippery surfaces or inadequate lighting, and road or other construction-related hazards.
