Areas of Practice

legal troubles, accidents, workers' compensation

We work on the following cases:

Trucking accidents have an increased chance of injury occurring because during a trucking accident a truck is unable to remain upright. Truck drivers do not have the same visibility and quick reaction maneuverability that smaller vehicles have, which contributes to trucking accidents. If you have been involved in a trucking accident contact us to confer with a trucking accident attorney.

There are safety regulations that are intended to help prevent trucking accidents from occurring; however, violations of safety recommendations greatly increase the risk of trucking accidents. Truck drivers must assume responsibility to take all measures to avoid trucking accidents and putting other drivers on the road in risk of becoming injured because of a trucking accident. Due to the large size of trucks, a trucking accident can greatly endanger the lives of other smaller vehicles unnecessarily when truck operators fail to consider proper trucking accident prevention.

If involved in a trucking accident, file a report to have documentation of the trucking accident occurring and obtain all necessary information. Avoid discussing the events of the trucking accident because anything said or documented can later be used against you. Contact a trucking accident attorney to learn your legal rights and options. A trucking accident attorney can help you recover the damages you are entitled to.

Car accidents occur on a large scale every day. The impact a car accident can have on someone can be tremendous. Even in simple fender bender car accidents an individual involved can suffer back and neck injuries that have a lasting adverse effect. It is advised to contact both a car accident attorney and a physician following a car accident. Injuries sustained from a car accident, no matter how minor, can later end up causing aggravated pain and medical costs.

After a car accident, gather all necessary information involving all car accident drivers and passengers and refrain from making any type of statement or signing any papers without first consulting with a car accident attorney. Anything said at the time of the car accident can be used against you and disqualify potential car accident compensation. Make sure you understand your car accident legal rights and options.

Car accident attorneys understand the complexities that car accidents entail, including both legal and insurance matters. Determining who is at fault for a car accident can be difficult due to the many factors a car accident can involve. A car accident attorney has resources to quickly and effectively determine who the liable parties are. Even if someone involved in a car accident thinks that they are partly at fault for the car accident, they may still be able to collect damages.

A motorcycle accident is extremely dangerous because of the lack of protection the motorcycle drivers have. A large number of motorcycle accidents will result in death or serious injury. It is extremely important to wear a helmet because most motorcycle accident injuries are the result of head injury.

Road accidents, including motorcycle accidents occur because of negligence. Motorcyclists are especially susceptible for being overlooked by other drivers because of their size. There are different laws regarding motorcycle accidents, so if involved in a motorcycle accident it is a good idea to contact an attorney with experience in motorcycle accidents. A motorcycle accident attorney will be able to properly advise each individual, in addition to making sure that person's rights are not violated.

It is very difficult to find out what happened after a motorcycle accident because there are many factors that could have played a role in contributing to the motorcycle accident. An individual does not always have the proper resources, like a motorcycle accident attorney, to investigate the motorcycle accident to determine the liable parties.

Almost every single motorcycle accident ends up in injury, so the damages experienced can be extensive.

Accidents and injuries can have serious consequences and can sometimes lead to death. When an injury that leads to death is caused by someone's carelessness, recklessness, or negligence, that person may bear legal responsibility for what happened.

If you have lost a loved one because of another person's mistake or wrongful action, you may be able to bring their case to court in their place. You may need compensation to help cover medical bills, lost income, and funeral expenses.

In addition, the court may award you with compensation for your loved one's pain and suffering and for your family's mental anguish and loss of companionship. You don't have to go through these difficult times alone or without support. The law is here to help you and your family, and so is Pitisci, Dowell, Markowitz & Murphy.

Companies and municipalities are responsible for the maintenance of their streets and sidewalks.  This means that they have to clean the sidewalk when it snows, they have to make sure the sidewalks are safe and they have to ensure that you, the pedestrian, can safely walk their property.

There is no way to ensure that the streets are safe and the supermarket aisles are clean except the risk of a lawsuit.  This encourages shop owners, property owners and town supervisors to make sure the places you walk everyday are safe.

Slip and fall incidents cause 15% of all accidental deaths and are second only to motor vehicle accidents as a cause of accidental deaths.  Fall victims can miss work and sustain permanent injuries.  In the event of a serious injury, you may be entitled to compensation for the pain, suffering and lost work.

Companies have a responsibility to provide products safe for consumers, but in the event defective products have resulted in a personal injury, death, or damage, legal action can be taken. Unsafe products can hold anyone involved with the product being sold to the consumer responsible. Laws exist to protect consumers from unsafe products injuries and to hold manufacturers responsible for any unsafe products.

Unsafe products can greatly injure consumers, resulting in physical and financial losses. Since unsafe products can occur with any type of consumer purchase, the unsafe product may have resulted in property damage as well. A products liability lawyer will determine who is liable for the unsafe products and then evaluate what losses have been incurred because of the unsafe products.

If an injury or damage has been sustained and you suspect it was due to unsafe products, it is advised to seek legal consultation. There is statute of limitations for unsafe products that may disqualify an individual otherwise able to collect compensation for the unsafe products. In addition, following unsafe products injuries or damages an individual is able to recall crucial facts and any evidence displaying unsafe products were responsible for the injuries or damages have a better chance of being destroyed over time.

The injuries that can result from medical malpractice are often worse than the underlying illness or condition that initially led the patient to seek medical assistance, and can involve permanently disabling, catastrophic and, sometimes, fatal conditions. As a result, if you are victimized by medical malpractice, you may be entitled to substantial money damages, even in cases involving what may appear to involve only minor injuries.

You can recover any additional medical expenses you have had to cover as a result of the malpractice, such as doctor and hospital bills, medications, therapy, home health care and all other related medical expenses, as well as any future medical expenses you reasonably expect to incur. You can also recover for the physical pain and suffering you have sustained, your out-of-pocket expenses, your mental and emotional anguish, your lost wages, benefits and other compensation, any loss of your future earning capacity, and the future diminishment of your enjoyment of life.

Additionally, in some cases, if your spouse or child has been injured as a result of medical malpractice, you may be entitled to collect damages for the loss of pleasure or companionship you have experienced as a result of their injuries. In certain extreme cases, where the wrongdoer's conduct is extreme and outrageous, you may be entitled to collect punitive damages to punish the wrongdoer and to prevent the misconduct from being repeated in the future.

When an industrial accident occurs and an employee suffers a personal injury due to unsafe working conditions, parties held liable for the negligent acts leading up to the industrial accident may be held responsible for any personal injuries and damages suffered because of the industrial accident. Contacting an industrial accident lawyer can help an industrial accident victim learn their legal rights and options. In many instances, a company has more legal resources than an individual, however, an expert industrial accident lawyer will help to make sure any financial, physical, emotional, and other direct results of the industrial accident are properly compensated for.

Employers have an obligation to prevent industrial accidents from occurring by following safe guidelines and working conditions. Industrial accidents can range from minor to very serious and be caused by many different factors. An industrial accident lawyer can properly investigate the conditions surrounding the industrial accident to best seek proper compensation. If involved in an industrial accident, immediately notify the company and contact an industrial accident attorney.

No matter the severity of the industrial accident, it is best to visit a physician so that all aspects of the industrial accident injury can be evaluated. An overlooked or underestimated industrial accident injury can result in a much greater physical condition down the road. The company should immediately make changes to prevent any future industrial accidents from occurring so that no other employee will suffer the same type of industrial accident injury.
