PERSONAL INJURY

Personal Injury Law is a very broad category which encompasses many types of injury cases. Some of the ones we handle are:

1. SLIP/TRIP and FALL

Those who hold out their property for use by the public or by invited guests owe a duty to maintain their property and to warn of unsafe or dangerous conditions. If you fall and are injured on their property as a result of their negligence then you have a personal injury case against them. Some of the types of Slip/Trip and Fall cases we handle are:

     a. TRANSITORY FORIEGN OBJECTS - when something that doesn't belong on the floor is there and it causes you to fall. Some examples are liquid, grease, grime, food, and objects.

     b. FALLING OR FLYING OBJECTS - when items are improperly stacked or stored and as a result cause injury to someone. These cases also include falling roof tiles, light fixtures, molding, fascia or a collapsing roof.

      c. NEGLIGENT MAINTENANCE - when escalators, elevators, and other machines held out for your use which are not properly maintained cause an injury. Also Defective safety equipment such as broken hand rails or gates. These cases also include injuries caused by broken flooring, holes in the floor, improper lighting, and objects sticking out into walkways.

2. NEGLIGENT SECURITY

when a corporation responsible for the security of its patrons allows a dangerous situation to exist and doesnt take precautions to prevent it. Such as a poorly lit parking lot which creates a haven for muggers and criminals to lie in wait for unsuspecting customers or a broken security gate at an apartment complex that allows criminals in. We think the corporations and managers who allowed you to be injured should be held responsible for your injuries. Call us for a free consultation to find out if you have a personal injury case.

3. NEGLIGENT SAFETY

when a pool is left with an unsecure child gate or a hand rail on the stairs is broken. These cases involve any situation where a company or person fails to take proper safety measures or fails to maintain their safety equipment. Injuries in these cases can be severe or even deadly.

4. ELECTROCUTIONS

these accidents can happen anywhere from the construction site to the home. The injuries caused by electrocutions are often devastating and deadly. Whether it was negligent safety or maintenance, we will find the cause and take action.

5. NEGLIGENT OPERATION

when a person fails to properly operate or control machinery and it causes an injury, or when an operator of equipment fails to operate the equipment in a safe manner and causes an injury.

6. SEXUAL ABUSE

The physical and psychological damage that results from sexual abuse can scar a victim for life. As Former Criminal Prosecutors we have the skill, experience and insight to successfully handle these types of cases.

7. THEME PARK, CRUISE SHIP and RESORT ACCIDENTS

Millions and millions of Americans and tourists head for theme parks, cruise ships and resorts every year. As a result many of them suffer injuries due to negligent maintenance, operation or safety. One of these injuries can bring an abrupt end to that vacation that you saved so long for. We believe these businesses ought to be responsible for the injuries they cause. We can demand compensation for your injuries and your lost vacation. Call us to find out if you have a personal injury case.

8. RESTAURANT, STORE and MALL INJURIES

Managers and Owners of Malls, Stores and Restaurants owe their patrons and visitors a duty of care. This duty is to protect them from unsafe conditions and hidden dangers while at their establishment. We believe that Managers and Owners ought to be responsible for the injuries caused on their properties. If you have been injured you may have a personal injury case. Call us for a free consultation to find out.

9. PLAYGROUND INJURIES

Playgrounds should be the safest places in the world because children play there. They should be frequently inspected, well maintained, under close supervision by adults when in use, free from dangerous conditions, located on soft ground, properly installed, and fenced to keep trespassers or unattended children out. Nothing will catch and captivate the attention of a child like a playground. Playgrounds can be found at schools, churches, day care facilities, parks, private homes and fast food restaurants. Quite often there are too many children playing and not enough adults watching. The injuries on playgrounds are almost always to children. These injuries can range from cuts and bruises to broken bones and head injuries. In a few unfortunate circumstances children have been killed on the playgrounds due to the negligence of the owner or operator. At The Law Offices of Michael R Herron we believe that owners and managers of playgrounds ought to be responsible for the injuries they cause. If your child has been injured on a playground call us for a free consultation about your personal injury case.

10. WORKPLACE INJURIES

Everyday a variety of injuries occur in the workplace. Some of these injuries are the fault of those responsible for workplace safety. These accidents can occur in many ways including but not limited to: Falling Accidents, Falling Objects, Collapsing Roof, Defective Equipment, Negligent Maintenance, Negligent Operation of Equipment, Lack of Proper Safety Procedure, Reckless Behavior by Other Employees, Careless Use of Equipment, Messy Work Areas, Dangerous Conditions, Electrocutions, Explosions, Burns, and Inadequate Supervision or Security.

At The Law Offices of Michael R Herron we believe that Employers and Owners who cause injuries to their employees should be held responsible for those injuries. If you have been injured in the workplace you might have a personal injury case. Call us for a free consultation to find out.

11. ACCIDENTAL DROWNING

Most drownings could have been prevented had the owner or manager of the property taken a few simple safety measures. The most common and effective measure for the prevention of drowning is a child safety fence around the body of water. A pool will captivate a child just like a playground. Children can drown in a pool for many reasons. They can get stuck by the suction on a pool drain, hit their heads on the side of the pool or just become cramped or tired. If a pool is left unattended by adults a child can find their way in and drown within minutes.

Ponds also present a danger to children and adults alike. They are often used for both looks and drainage and thus they are muddy and often have steep sides. At night even the most alert adult can walk and fall into a dark pond and find themself unable to get out.

At The Law Offices of Michael R Herron we believe that owners and managers of pools and ponds should be held responsible for the injuries or deaths they cause. If you have been injured or your loved one killed in an accidental drowning you may have a Personal Injury Case. Call us for a free consultation to find out.
