We understand that when you or a loved one has a life-changing injury or loss, you have individual needs. We want to help you to heal as we help you through this loss or injury, by focusing on your personal needs and concerns. As a client, we offer you the benefit of over 50 years of combined legal experience between our three trial lawyers, Lori Bencoe, Cherie LaCour and James Wood. Our firm also offers a team approach, with competent and courteous staff and medical consultants whom we regularly consult.
We believe that health care patients and consumers deserve dignity. When you or a loved one is hurt by a wrongdoer, you deserve dignity also. Our firm offers a team approach to care for you, while evaluating and pursuing your legal case. When we commit to prosecute a claim for you, because you or a family member has been harmed or killed, it is our goal to make the wrongdoer aware that it needs to improve its safety standards in order to properly care for the public.
We fight for children, families, and individuals when corporations put their financial decisions first, or forget their responsibility to keep people safe. When the strong injure the weak, we take it personally. We work as a team to hold the wrongdoer accountable and to thereby make our community safer. It is our goal to make a positive difference in our clients’ lives in the process. Litigation can be hard for people. As a client, you will have the benefit of our attorneys’ team approach, and the support of our entire office to assist you through the process.
We handle all types of medical malpractice and wrongful death claims, including hospital and nursing home negligence, neglect or abuse, birth injuries and brain injuries. We handle complex trucking, motorcycle and car wreck cases. We handle dangerous drug and product cases. We handle child safety cases such as school ground and product/toy safety claims. We have helped people with these types of claims for well over 50 years, collectively. See our profiles for more detail.
Our firm evaluates, accepts and works on cases as a team. We work aggressively to prepare your case for trial, but keep an open mind towards early resolution of your claim if we feel the wrongdoer is taking responsibility for its actions and for your needs. We offer free initial consultations, in-home and hospital visits by arrangement, and when we agree to accept a case and represent a client, we work on a contingent fee basis, meaning that if you do not get a recovery, we do not get paid a legal fee for our work.
