Our dedicated team is committed to helping clients across Garrett County obtain justice and fair compensation, using our deep knowledge of the local area and its unique challenges.

Personal Injury

In personal injury cases, we represent clients involved in various accidents, including car crashes, motorcycle accidents, truck collisions, pedestrian injuries, boating accidents, train accidents, and bicycle accidents. Major routes like Interstate 68, Route 219, and Route 495 see regular traffic and are common sites of accidents leading to severe injuries. We also handle cases involving Uber and Lyft accidents, dealing with the complexities of insurance claims and liability issues associated with rideshare services.

Additionally, we represent victims in 15-passenger van accidents, school bus accidents, taxi accidents, and ATV accidents, ensuring they receive the compensation they need for medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages. Our attorneys have significant experience with catastrophic injuries, such as brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, burns, and dog bites, which often require extensive medical treatment and rehabilitation. For families who have lost loved ones in fatal auto accidents, we provide compassionate guidance in pursuing wrongful death claims, securing relief for funeral costs, loss of income, and emotional suffering.

Medical Malpractice

Our medical malpractice attorneys are skilled in managing cases related to surgical errors, birth injuries, medication errors, hospital negligence, and misdiagnosis errors. Garrett County residents often rely on Garrett Regional Medical Center in Oakland, and we handle cases involving errors and negligence at this and other nearby facilities.

Surgical errors can lead to serious complications, while birth injuries due to negligent care during labor and delivery can cause lifelong challenges for families. We also handle cases where medication mistakes, such as incorrect dosages or harmful drug interactions, have resulted in harm to patients. Hospital errors, including poor sanitation, inadequate monitoring, or insufficient staffing, can compromise patient safety. Misdiagnosis errors, where delayed or incorrect diagnoses worsen conditions, are another focus of our practice. We work to hold healthcare providers accountable and ensure victims of medical malpractice receive fair compensation for their injuries.

Auto accident

In auto accident cases, we handle a broad range of incidents, including car collisions, motorcycle crashes, truck accidents, bus accidents, and rideshare-related incidents involving Uber and Lyft. Accidents involving large trucks are common along I-68, where heavy commercial traffic can lead to catastrophic injuries. Our attorneys manage complex claims involving multiple parties and insurers, working to secure compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

Additionally, we support families pursuing wrongful death claims after fatal accidents, providing guidance throughout the process and helping them seek justice for their loss.

Slip And Fall

Our premises liability attorneys represent clients injured on both commercial and residential properties due to unsafe conditions.

We handle cases such as slip and fall injuries, trip and fall incidents, and Airbnb-related accidents, holding property owners accountable for hazards like wet floors, uneven walkways, and faulty railings. With popular attractions like Deep Creek Lake and Wisp Resort, Garrett County offers numerous recreational opportunities where accidents can occur. We represent clients injured in boating accidents and skiing incidents, ensuring they receive compensation for their injuries and associated costs.

 

Criminal defense

Criminal defense, DUI, and traffic violations are other key areas of our practice. Our attorneys provide robust representation for clients facing charges ranging from DUI and drug crimes to assault and other serious offenses. We work to protect clients’ rights, whether they are dealing with a minor traffic infraction or a more serious criminal charge.

For those facing DUI charges, we offer guidance aimed at reducing penalties and preserving driving privileges. Our firm also handles traffic violation cases, including speeding, reckless driving, and license suspension, working to minimize fines, prevent points on driving records, and protect clients’ rights.

Workers’ Compensation

In workers’ compensation cases, we provide dedicated support to individuals injured on the job. Major employers in Garrett County include First United Bank & Trust, Pine Lodge Steakhouse, and Beitzel Corporation, where employees may face unique risks, particularly in banking, hospitality, and construction sectors.

We represent clients with workplace injuries, such as construction accidents, falls from heights, scaffolding falls, electrical injuries, and chemical exposure. Our attorneys also advocate for clients exposed to toxic substances, like benzene, helping them secure necessary medical treatment and compensation for long-term health impacts. In cases involving workplace deaths, we support families in pursuing compensation for funeral expenses, lost financial support, and other associated losses.

Product Liability

Our firm is also experienced in product liability cases, where we represent clients harmed by defective products, including consumer goods, industrial machinery, medical devices, and vehicles.

Product liability cases may involve design defects, manufacturing errors, or insufficient warnings, and we work to hold manufacturers accountable for injuries caused by unsafe products. In addition, we handle cases involving chemical exposure, particularly in industrial and construction settings, where victims may suffer from serious health issues due to toxic substances.

Abuse Cases Of Nursing

In nursing home abuse cases, we advocate for families whose loved ones have suffered from neglect, physical abuse, financial exploitation, or inadequate care in facilities like Dennett Road Manor Nursing Home in Oakland and other nursing homes across Garrett County.

We work to ensure these facilities are held accountable for failing to provide safe and compassionate care, securing justice and fair compensation for our clients. Additionally, we represent victims of police misconduct and sexual abuse, offering strong legal support to ensure responsible parties are held accountable.

Death Cases

Wrongful death cases require both sensitivity and experience, and our attorneys are committed to helping families pursue justice after losing a loved one due to negligence or misconduct. Whether the loss resulted from an auto accident, medical malpractice, or a workplace incident, we work to ensure families receive compensation for funeral expenses, lost income, and emotional suffering.

We understand the profound impact of such a loss and are dedicated to guiding families through these challenging times.
