There are a wide variety of injuries and claims which fall under the general title of Personal Injury. Some examples of this type of claim are Automobile Accidents, Slip & Fall Accidents or Product Liability Claims. At The Long Beach Attorney we handle all types of injury situations.

Automobile Accidents

The most common and most well known of these claims are claims relating to automobile accidents. The automobile accident claim does not start with the filing of a lawsuit, but from the moment of the accident onward. Our staff gets involved from the moment you come to our office.

Another important facet of establishing the automobile claim is getting the right doctors to make sure that you recover fully from your injuries and to try to help minimize your future suffering. Pheil Law Firm deals only with the top medical professionals to insure that our clients get the very best medical care.

Premises Liability / Slip & Fall Accidents

Property owners can be held liable for injuries caused by accidents, which occur on their property. If you have been injured while on someone else’s property, you may have the right to file premises liability claim against them. These claims are commonly referred to as Slip & Fall accidents.

Although these premise liability claims are considered personal injury claims, they present their own problems and unique proof issues.

Unlike a vehicle accident, where the cause of damage is apparent and liability is usually relatively clear cut, premises liability claims often present liability issues. This is because you not only have to prove that something on the property caused your injury, but that the owner of the property had notice of the existence of the thing on the property, which caused your injury.

This is where Law Firm can help. We know how to fight the insurance company and what experts to hire and how to prove your case. We will do all the right things to prove that the landowner had notice of the condition and was liable for your injuries. We also know how to deal with the ways that the insurance companies perform, trying to avoid these issues.

Wrongful Death Claim

In the event of a fatal accident caused by the negligence of another, the surviving relatives of the deceased victim have the right to make what is called a wrongful death claim. In a wrongful death claim, the surviving family is asking for monetary damages for the loss of their loved one.

Although money can never replace the hole left by the loss of a family member, the right to a wrongful death claim is a legal recourse open to the survivors.

Given the potentially high amount of damages, which can be recovered under a wrongful death claim, insurance companies will go to great lengths to defend an action containing a wrongful death claim. As a result, you need to be sure that you get the very best representation possible for your wrongful death claim.

Products Liability Claim

If you have been injured because a product failed to work in the way it was intended to work, then you have a possible products liability claim against the manufacturer.

Most people are aware of the garden variety products liability claim, where a product actual malfunctions and causes injury, but it does not always require a complete malfunction for a products liability claim to exist.

If a product is designed and warranted to perform in a particular manner and failed to do so due to a design or manufacturing defect, there is still a products liability claim, which can be made. Also, what many people do not know is that there are often several possible defendants in a products liability claim as each party involved in the process is a potential defendant, not just the final seller.

These cases are complex and you need an experienced attorney such as Pheil Law Firm to handle all possible defendants and legal issues.

Construction Liability

The subject of Construction Liability covers two distinct types of liability:

  • Accidents suffered by workers on construction sites that do not fall under the scope of worker’s compensation laws and

  • Injuries suffered by third parties resulting from the actions of construction workers or dangerous conditions on a construction site

For example, an employee on a construction site who is injured due to the actions of a third party on that site would have a claim for construction liability in addition to any possible worker’s compensation claim.

The field of construction liability involves complex laws and procedures and requires considerable expertise to get the best results. Pheil Law Firm can handle this type of claim as well as to advise you if you have a claim you may not be aware about. So, you should contact Pheil Law Firm to insure you get the best representation possible on your claim.
