department is headed by Christopher L. Russo, a partner in the firm. We
handle all forms of personal
injury claims – car collisions, premises liability, tractor
trailer collision, wrongful death, slip and fall, dog bites, assault
& battery. When you are injured your life is thrown into turmoil –
you have many doctor visits, you may not be able to work and less money
is coming into your home but now you have medical bills in addition to
your ordinary bills. The last thing you are able to deal with is the
insurance company. We have the resources and ability to fight for
our clients against the insurance carriers who refuse to pay what our
clients are entitled. We handle all aspects of your claims and get you
the money you deserve.
We all go to doctors and
hospitals expecting they are going to make everything better.
Unfortunately that does not always happen. Our clients come to us to
help them find answers as to what went wrong. We utilize our resources
of doctors and nurses. We have successfully represented our clients in
pursuing medical negligence

obtain the compensation our clients deserve.

work. Here we help clients obtain the compensation explain the various
complexities of the Workers Compensation laws. Here, we also help clients who
