Car Accidents

country. If the other driver is at fault for the collision for any reason

include texting, while driving or driving under the influence of drugs,
alcohol, or medication. Our roads are becoming more dangerous and we stand

Motorcycle Accidents
Riders on motorcycles can and many cases suffer severe injuries. Motorcycle
injuries are different as there is not the same protection given the driver
and passenger as would be in an automobile. David Pittman has been an
avid motorcycle rider for most of his life and is extremely passionate
about helping fellow riders. All preparation and work will be initiated
immediately to prove your case and injuries so that you can begin to focus
on the task of recovery and healing.
Elevator/Escalator Accidents
Any premises which maintains elevators or escalators is required to keep
up the maintenance of these moving stairways and elevators in good working
order. If it can be proven that the property owner or operator failed
to repair broken or faulty equipment or if defective components caused
the accident, you have a right to claim financial compensation.
Bicycle Accidents
Cycling is an excellent form of transportation, both for recreation and
commuting, but it also places the rider at risk of suffering life changing
catastrophic injuries. Car and truck drivers frequently fail to notice
a rider due to distraction or carelessness, while others fail to yield
the right of way at intersections and while passing.
Boating Accidents
A boating accident can occur for many reasons, but when negligence is involved
it is important to have a knowledgeable attorney to help you with the
legal complexities that can arise. Was the driver of the boat drinking
or speeding? Who owns the boat? Was it a rental? These are all very important
questions that must be answered when pursuing a claim.
Catastrophic Injuries
If you are involved in a serious accident, you may suffer catastrophic
injuries, which can lead to permanent disability and lifelong repercussions
throughout your life. This type of injury requires that you seek the maximum
compensation possible to ensure that you have the wherewithal to continue
medical care and treatment into the future.
Pittman Law Firm, P.L. has significant experience in handling these matters and understands the complex nature of both proving your losses but also the emotional support needed.
Trucking Accidents
Those accidents involving trucks can lead to severe injuries and even death.
Trucking accident claims can be exceedingly complex, as the negligent
parties could involve several different entities or people including the
driver, owner, leasing company, the company that loaded the cargo, as
well as numerous other parties.
Construction Accidents
Construction accidents are the leading cause of injury in the workplace
as a construction site is very often a dangerous environment with hazards
such as heavy equipment, falling tools and exposed electrical lines. Depending
on the circumstances of your accident you may have grounds for a personal
injury lawsuit outside of a workers' compensation claim and it is imperative
that you contact us immediately to help determine the best avenue for
you to best recover your losses.
Defective Products
When you purchase a product, you expect it to work as promised and demonstrated.
This is often taken for granted when buying tires, household appliances
or even a baby crib. If you or a loved one has been injured or killed
due to the product not working as intended, you have the right to file
a claim for all your financial losses and damages for your pain and suffering.
Dog Bites/Attacks
A dog bite or attack can cause some of the most painful and horrendous
injuries possible, frequently causing major physical and emotional scarring.
Sadly, children are the victims of dog attacks in a disproportionate number
of cases. A dog bite can lead to plastic surgery, scarring, and lifelong
trauma for the victim.
Nursing Home Abuse

would abuse anyone in a nursing home. Unfortunately it does happen. Understaffing
and neglect often leads to abuse as well. If you suspect that your loved
one is being abused in some manner, contact our firm immediately to take
effective legal action and help to prevent these actions from occurring
to others.
Pedestrian Accidents
Whether it is a car backing out of a driveway or a driver who denied you
the right of way at a cross walk, you can easily struck you become the
victim in a pedestrian accident. Many have been hurt in a slip, trip,
and fall accident on a cracked sidewalk or uneven stairway. In the event
the responsible party can be proven at fault, we want to help you obtain
the financial compensation you deserve for your injuries and other losses.
Premises Liability
The owner of the property maintains a duty to keep the premises in safe
condition. If you were injured and the proprietor failed to take reasonable
precautions to prevent such an accident or took no action to remove known
hazards, we can help.
Slip & Fall Accidents
When you have suffered a slip and fall accident on another's premises,
you may be entitled to pursue compensation for your injuries. If the property
owner failed to properly maintain the premises, such as by cleaning up
spills or damaged walkways, you can pursue a claim for damages.
Spinal Cord Injuries
A spinal cord injury can result in paralysis, forever altering the life
of the victim. Injuries such as paraplegia and quadriplegia can be exceedingly
costly, from the expenses for emergency medical treatment and ongoing
care, to the lost income and reduced earning power, and the devastating
emotional toll the injury may take on the victim's life and well-being.
We have extensive experience helping victims and would be honored to help fight for you and your loved ones.
Traumatic Brain Injury
A traumatic brain injury generally results from a blow to the head, either
through an impact, fall or even during an operation. It can result in
severe consequences, including loss of motor skills, paralysis, memory
loss and other serious repercussions, and the damage to the brain tissue
is often irreversible. These are very complex cases and our experience
has taught us proper preparation begins immediately.
Wrongful Death
If you have lost a loved one due to someone else's negligence or intentional
harm, you may be entitled to file a wrongful death claim to recover compensation
for funeral expenses, medical care prior to death, loss of future support
and pain and suffering for your tragic loss.
Negligence
Determining negligence is one of the most important aspects of a personal
injury claim. In order to obtain compensation for your injuries, you must
be able to show that the other party was at fault for your accident. We
will take on the duty of investigating the situation to find evidence
to prove that the other person is at fault.
Class Action Cases
When a large group of people or businesses are taken advantage of or injured
by the wrongdoing of a company or business, a class action lawsuit can
be filed on behalf of all of the members of the class. Common examples
of class action lawsuits include suing drug companies for dangerous prescription
medications, claiming damages from auto manufacturers for defective car
parts or suing an employer or builder for asbestos exposure.
