Attorney Helping Victims of Serious Injuries in Lanham, Maryland

There are a variety of situations where injuries may occur because of a person's carelessness, recklessness, or failure to protect the safety of others. Serious injuries can lead to a variety of difficulties for victims. The physical pain of an injury can be hard enough on its own. A person may begin receiving large medical bills for emergency treatment and other forms of care they have received. If they cannot work while they are recovering, they may have problems paying bills and addressing their daily needs. Addressing these issues may not be easy, which is why legal help from a skilled attorney can be invaluable in these situations.

At Kisner Law, our lawyer works with people in Lanham who are dealing with the aftermath of injuries that have been caused by the negligence of others. He can help victims understand options that may be available while evaluating the full extent of their injuries to ensure that all of their damages will be addressed correctly. With his experience litigating cases and achieving success on behalf of injury victims, he can take steps to maximize the compensation that a person can receive.

Slip and Fall Accidents

Premises liability cases may address situations where property owners have failed to protect the safety of people visiting their premises. When hazards such as wet floors, uneven surfaces, or poor lighting have not been addressed correctly, people can suffer serious injuries in slip, trip, and fall accidents. Our attorney can gather evidence to show that a property owner knew about slip and fall hazards and failed to address them correctly, and he will work to obtain compensation for the injuries suffered in a fall accident.

Car Accidents

Negligent behavior on the road can lead to multiple types of serious car accidents. Issues such as distracted driving, speeding, drunk driving, tailgating, failing to obey traffic signals, or illegal passing can lead to collisions. The people involved can suffer serious injuries, and they will need to determine the insurance coverage that may be available and the steps they can take to obtain compensation. Our lawyer can investigate a car crash to establish fault, and he can negotiate with insurance companies to ensure that full and fair compensation will be paid.

Truck Accidents

When collisions involve large commercial trucks, people in smaller vehicles will be likely to suffer harm. Truck accidents may involve complex legal issues, and the parties that may be liable may include trucking companies, cargo loaders, or parts manufacturers. Our attorney can address issues such as driver fatigue, falling cargo, or negligent maintenance as he helps victims obtain compensation for injuries in commercial truck crashes.

Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcycle riders may be seriously injured in collisions due to their lack of protection. Most of the time, motorcycle accidents are caused by other drivers who do not notice motorcycles in traffic, misjudge the speed of motorcycles, or drive unsafely around smaller vehicles. Our lawyer will take steps to counter unfair bias against motorcyclists and help them hold negligent drivers responsible for the injuries suffered in an accident.

Pedestrian Accidents

People who cross the road or walk on sidewalks are likely to suffer catastrophic injuries when they are hit by negligent drivers. Pedestrian accidents can take place in intersections when people walk in crosswalks, or drivers may strike pedestrians in parking lots or other areas. Driver negligence is usually to blame, and our attorney works to hold drivers responsible for injuring pedestrians due to intoxication, distracted driving, failure to follow traffic laws, or failure to check for pedestrians before backing up.

Defective Products

When a product is designed, manufactured, or marketed without taking the proper steps to ensure that it is safe, people who use the product may be seriously injured. Manufacturers, distributors, or retailers may be held liable for injuries caused by defective products. Our lawyer can help determine who was responsible for bringing an unsafe product to the market, ensuring that injury victims will be able to recover compensation.

Medical Malpractice

Healthcare providers are required to meet the proper standards when treating patients. When a doctor, nurse, or other provider is negligent, patients may suffer injuries that can affect their overall health and cause ongoing medical problems. Our attorney can make sure the right steps are followed in medical malpractice cases to ensure that a patient will be compensated for their damages. He can address injuries caused by misdiagnosis, negligence during childbirth, surgical errors, medication errors, and more.

Nursing Home Negligence

When people receive care in nursing homes or assisted living facilities, these facilities have a responsibility to provide the required medical treatment, assistance, and supervision while protecting against issues that could cause residents to suffer harm. Unfortunately, nursing home abuse and neglect are serious issues affecting many people, and injuries can occur due to inadequate supervision, poor hygiene, malnutrition, failure to address medical needs, or intentional abuse of a physical, emotional, or sexual nature. Our lawyer works with families to address neglect or abuse that has affected their loved ones and hold nursing homes responsible for their negligence.

Wrongful Death

When a person dies because of another party's negligence, their family members may experience a variety of difficulties, including financial losses and emotional trauma. Our attorney helps families in these situations pursue wrongful death claims and address the issues that they have experienced because of a loved one's death. While these cases cannot undo the loss that has occurred, they can help a family avoid financial difficulties while addressing the ways they have been affected and helping them achieve some measure of justice.
