In addition to representing people who have been injured in an auto accident or on-the-job, Lehmbecker Law Firm also helps people with other types of personal injury cases:
Traumatic Brain Injury
Traumatic brain or head injuries (TBI) can be life-altering. If someone else is responsible for what happened to you or your loved one, you are entitled to damages. When the effects of a TBI are permanent, or impair a person’s work ability, the amount of compensation that is owed can be substantial.
Anyone who has suffered head trauma or been knocked unconscious should be carefully evaluated for TBI symptoms. If you want to have the best chance of winning a case against the person who is responsible for the injury, speak to an attorney who has expertise building cases that involve TBIs. They can help you protect your legal rights and get the compensation you rightfully deserve.
Bicycle Accident
Bicycle and vehicle collisions often result in very serious injuries: head injuries, broken bones, and even death. Bicycle accidents are much more common than many people imagine, and are much more complicated as well. The legal issues involved when a car strikes a bicyclist are numerous, and require the expertise of an experienced attorney to prepare a successful case.
Too often, those who have been struck while riding a bicycle are faced with accusations that they did something to cause the accident. Instead of proceeding on your own or talking to insurance companies—consider hiring an experienced attorney to review your bicycle accident case.
Pedestrian Accident
More than 4,700 pedestrians were killed in motor accidents in 2013, and an additional 150,000 were admitted to the emergency room, according to the Centers for Disease Control.
Pedestrians can be seriously injured by turning drivers, who fail to check to make sure that a crosswalk is clear before proceeding. This danger is increased at night or during inclement weather. Accidents can occur due to faulty intersection design or poorly controlled construction zones.
Unfortunately, all of the contributing factors in a pedestrian accident can be hard to pinpoint, but should be explored in every case nonetheless. If you have been injured as a pedestrian as the result of someone else’s negligence, you are entitled to damages resulting from your injury, and should speak to an attorney who can help you successfully identify all responsible parties and obtain full compensation for your injuries.
Slip & Fall (Store, Apartment Complex, Restaurant)
Many people don’t realize that commercial business have a high standard of care to protect their customers, called premises liability. That means they must take affirmative steps to make sure that floors and walkways are in a safe condition. When these efforts fail, a business may be liable for the damages.
Despite this, businesses will often dispute or even outright deny their responsibility in these cases. Getting immediate legal representation from competent legal counsel such as Lehmbecker Law is often the key to securing fair treatment and compensation in slip and fall accident cases.
Taxi, Uber, or Lyft Injury Accident
Injured while riding as a passenger? As Uber and Lyft have taken off we have seen more and more of these cases.
If you were injured while riding in an Uber, Lyft or taxicab you absolutely should seek the help of a qualified attorney to help you bring your case. If a driver has acted negligently or another vehicle has hit you and compromised your health, you are entitled to receive compensation to cover your medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
Dog Bite Injury
Dog bites are extremely painful and can cause serious injuries. Reconstructive surgery is sometimes required, especially when a bite occurs on the face. Emotional injuries also occur, which may cause someone to develop a phobia of being near or around dogs.
Owners are strictly liable for any bite, injury, or attack caused by their dog. If you are bitten, an experienced attorney can help you document the full extent of your injuries and help you recover any damages incurred as a result from the bite.
Truck Accident
Due to the sheer size and weight difference between trucks and other vehicles, truck accidents often result in more serious injuries and deaths than other auto accidents. When a truck accident occurs because of a driver’s negligence, however, you may be entitled to compensation for any injury or death that resulted from that accident.
At Lehmbecker Law, we have represented many cases from the victims of truck accidents, and are committed to helping you receive rightful compensation for your injuries.
Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcycle accidents pose a risk of serious injury and death not just for pedestrians or automobile drivers, but for motorcyclists themselves as well. As a result, determining liability can be a hassle without expert legal counsel.
While this may make a motorcycle accident case difficult to navigate at first, Lehmbecker Law has over 30 years of experience and can help you receive compensation for your injuries related to a motorcycle accident whether you are a driver, a pedestrian, or a motorcyclist.
Medical Negligence
Medical negligence is a very serious problem. Over 100,000 people are injured unnecessarily in hospitals every year. Common errors that cause serious, unintended injuries include improper medications, failure to diagnose a serious condition, delay of treatment, unnecessary procedures, and failing to follow standard medical procedures.
If you or a family member has suffered a permanent or life-threatening injury, you should seek help right away. Your attorney will help you determine what went wrong, and whether you are entitled to compensation. Medical negligence cases require expert testimony from other health-care professionals, and competent legal counsel is necessary to prepare and present this testimony and other aspects of your case.
Nursing Home Neglect
Nursing home neglect, also known as nursing home negligence, is unfortunately much more common than most people realize. This occurs when an elderly residence of an assisted care facility doesn’t get the proper attention and treatment they require, or is subjected to physical or emotional neglect or abuse.
According to the National Center on Elder Abuse, an estimated 10 percent of seniors are the victims of either neglect or abuse, a shocking statistic. All too often this results in serious health consequences, or even death.
