Brain Injuries - Product Liability

Traumatic Brain Injuries: If you or a loved one has suffered a serious brain injury, let us put our experience and knowledge to work for you.

Product Liability: Every day, people from all walks of life are exposed to hidden hazards of various machines and products they use. Examples include ladders that are defectively designed or manufactured and industrial machinery that doesn't have required safety devices. These incidents can occur either at home or work.

Like all other areas of law, product liability cases can be complicated. Expert engineers and other professionals may need to be brought onto the team. This is done to identify the products defect and to determine alternatives available to the liable party.

If you or a loved one has suffered as a result of a defective product, the Law Office of Albert M. Afonso is ready to serve you. As a consumer, you are entitled to use products that are free of dangerous, and at times, life-threatening defects.

  Medical Malpractice: One of the most complex areas of personal injury litigation. Malpractice is often difficult to discover and prove. The process requires a basic knowledge of anatomy and medical procedures and involves careful review of all medical records and tests, as well as extensive consultation with health care professionals. We consult with health care professionals to determine exactly how the negligence occurred.

Premises Liability:  The law requires business and home owners to use reasonable care in maintaining their property to protect others from being injured. But sometimes accidents happen. If negligence is determined, you may be entitled to be compensated for loss of income and medical expenses. You may also be entitled to compensation for pain and suffering. So if you've been injured because of someone else's carelessness or negligence, don't just accept it as a fact of life. Contact  us, and we'll make sure your right to fair and just compensation is protected.

 Auto Accidents :  Motor vehicle collisions and injuries continue to occur in spite of increased safety measures. Often the injuries may not even be noticed at the time. And, too often, the consequences are tragic. Loved ones and dreams are instantly taken away. Every day. Did you know that if you are injured, you can receive compensation, even if you are hit by an uninsured motorist? Or, that insurance company adjusters may offer you less than you're entitled to receive under the law? At the Law Office of Albert M. Afonso we have had experience in using the latest in computer technology to develop our collision cases, and we have worked with various experts from universities and the private sector for many years in handling these claims.

  Work Injuries: Each year, hundreds of construction site laborers are either killed or seriously injured. Many incidents are caused by employers, general contractors, subcontractors, and fellow employees who violate Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) laws.

These cases require extensive investigation and review. Your attorney needs to know safety requirements and procedures. Plans and blueprints must be reviewed to fully understand how the injury occurred and how it could have been prevented.
