Here are some more detailed examples of what types of matters can turn into a lawsuit:
You are diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer, but you later find out that this diagnosis could have been easily treated if your doctor properly identified the cancer when it was Stage 1 before it progressed.
You have been complaining to your doctor for over a year of abnormal medical symptoms that your doctor ignored.
Your doctor waited until the last minute to conduct a cancer screening when it was already too late.

Your family member goes to the emergency room complaining of chest pain, flu like symptoms, and dizziness. After being examined by the emergency room doctors, despite their many complaints, the doctors discharge your family member and claim that nothing is medically wrong with them. A few months later, they visit another doctor for a second opinion and are told that they have a fatal illness that the emergency room doctors failed to diagnose.
A woman giving labor in the hospital is not being properly monitored by her doctors and nurses. The mother feels that her complaints are not being listened to that she is not being properly watched.
After the birth of her baby, she learns that her baby suffers from a permanent brain injury know as hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy.
When she inquires how this happened, she learns that this was due to fetal distress going unnoticed by her doctors. More specifically, delivery was not performed quickly enough, and as a result of the prolonged lack of fetal cord oxygen circulation, her baby will have to live with a brain injury for the rest of its life.

A young woman is incarcerated. While in prison, she is sexually assaulted by a correctional officer. For months, this correctional officer made inappropriate and sexual comments to her that made her feel uncomfortable and unsafe. During this period, she submitted countless grievance and complaint forms to the prison facility asking her contact with him to be limited, all of which were ignored. After the assault, this correctional officer is criminally charged, but this woman wants to purse a civil claim against both this man and the facility she is located at for ignoring her multiple pleas for help.
A woman driving her child to school is struck by a speeding police car. The police officer in the report claims that the mother is responsible for the accident because she failed to use her turn signal, but she thinks that the police officer is also at fault. As a result of the accident, her child is severely injured and suffers brain trauma as a result of the crash. The mother believes that the accident was not really her fault, and instead, the police officer was abusing his power to cover up the fact that he caused her child’s injury.
In this scenario, there is a serious injury present. Our firm would then thoroughly investigate the case and determine what caused the accident.

A construction worker is working on a very dangerous jobsite that his company has assigned him to. He notices there are many openings on the building he assigned to work on that someone could easily fall through.
Despite his remark to his boss that he thinks the site is not safe, he is instructed to continue working. Unfortunately, one of his co-workers does end up falling through an unprotected opening on the building worksite and is badly injured. He later finds out he is permanently disabled from his fall and will be in a wheelchair for the rest of his life.

A quick summary of the lawsuit process
To commence the lawsuit, we file a complaint on behalf of our clients.
- In cases where the main Plaintiff in the case has unfortunately passed away, we bring a lawsuit on behalf of that individual’s family.
- In cases where a new Administrator of a deceased person’s Estate needs to be appointed, our firm also works hard to take care of this.
Once we file the complaint, we receive what is called an “Answer” from the Defendants (the party or parties we are suing on your behalf).
As soon as we hear from the Defendant through their Answer, one of our staff members reaches out to the Court to get a court conference date scheduled to keep your case moving as fast as possible. At this conference, we set deadlines for the exchange of evidence, when depositions must be scheduled by, and when expected witnesses and experts must be identified by.
Once all of this is complete, a pre-trial conference will be held. At this stage, we will discuss the possibility of settlement with the defense counsel (in this case, your matter will be resolved without going to trial).
If we cannot agree on settlement with the Defendant’s attorneys, we alternatively set a trial date and proceed with taking your matter to trial.
At this stage and every stage of the lawsuit, we will make sure to give your matter a high level of individual attention from our experienced team of attorneys.
