A man was killed while sitting at a local donut shop when another guest, pulling into a parking space in front of a local donut shop, stepped on the accelerator rather than the brake by mistake, rolled over the 1 ½ inch - 2 ½ inch curb, crashed through the plate glass windows, and into the building. After a valiant and painful battle to stay alive for 12 days in the hospital, the man died. We sued the donut shop for failing to have bollards (poles) in front of the store to stop cars from smashing into the building. The case settled for a substantial amount for the man's Estate after we established that this type of crash was foreseeable and should have been prevented by the donut shop owner.

You should hire a Board Certified trial attorney to best to represent your interests and to maximize your recovery.

Hiring an experienced attorney is extremely important to maximize your recovery in any claim. It should be someone who has handled your kind of case before, and who has the knowledge of the court system where the case will proceed.

While we prefer to meet our potential clients in person, for many personal injury claims, we can initially assess the merits of a case on the phone and determine whether it is worth investigating further. If further investigation is necessary, we will get our team to gather what we need to complete the analysis and meet with the client in person to decide how best to proceed.

At a minimum, we need the facts of the incident (i.e. dates, how it happened, all responsible parties, etc.), the nature of your injuries, and what documents do you have to support your claims.
