Motor Vehicle Accidents
Car/Motorcycle/Pedestrian Traffic Accidents
Vehicle accidents happen in an instant, but can bring years of problems and pain. If you have suffered personal injury or property damage as the result of a traffic accident — pedestrian, bicycle, car, motorcycle, boating, train or public transportation — you need an attorney to immediately and aggressively take action. Accident claims can be overwhelming. You want an experienced lawyer who is familiar with the process to handle your case.
A good personal injury attorney like Gregory Nassar will file claims, negotiate with insurance companies, and navigate the court system to help recover money needed to cover not only medical bills, lost wages, and car repairs, but also general damages for mental and physical anguish.

Contact information and driver’s license numbers of everyone involved
Names and contact information of witnesses
License plate numbers of all cars
Insurance information of everyone involved
Pictures of the accident and your injuries

Big Rig Collisions
Being involved in a trucking accident can be a very traumatic experience. Even a low speed impact from a heavily laden big rig/loaded van, etc., can produce significant forces against the vehicle/body it comes in contact with.

Truck accidents are different from car accidents. Commercial trucks are required to follow much more stringent statutes/laws which are implemented for the overall safety of others. The obvious is that trucks are much larger and heavier than cars, which means they can cause more damage when they collide with another vehicle, even at low speeds. Second, trucks have a higher center of gravity than cars, which makes them more likely to overturn in an accident or avoid striking a bumper (shock absorber) of a vehicle and impact the non-shock resistant cage. Finally, trucks have blind spots around the cab that make it difficult for the driver to see other vehicles. These factors all contribute to the fact that truck accidents are generally more serious than car accidents.
These cases are vastly different from other types of motor vehicle accidents. They often involve multiple parties, complex regulations, and a host of other considerations. That's why it's so important to choose a law office that specializes in this area of the law. We have the experience and expertise to navigate the complexities of these cases. We understand the regulatory landscape and we know how to hold commercial trucking companies accountable.

Public Transportation
When you get on a bus or train, you are putting your trust in the driver to get you to your destination safely. And for the most part, public transportation drivers take extra precautions to ensure passenger safety. However, that does not mean that public transportation is completely immune to incidents, and accidents still happen.
If you are involved in an accident while using public transportation, it is important to know what to do and who to contact. Most government/public involved entities have strict notice requirements that must be timely met or your claim will forever be barred. Therefore, seek medical attention if you are injured and reach out to a personal injury attorney. It is important to have an advocate on your side who understands the ins and outs of the legal system and who can fight for your rights.
In addition to contacting an attorney, there are a few other things you should do as well. Be sure to report the accident to the police and the transportation company involved. This will create a record of what happened and will help to support your claim. Additionally, gather evidence that supports your claim. This could include photos of the scene of the accident, medical records, and eyewitness testimony. The more evidence you have, the stronger your case will be. By taking these steps, you can ensure that you are in the best possible position to get the compensation you deserve.
Boating Accident
No one ever expects to be involved in a boating accident. However, these accidents can happen when you least expect it. If you or a loved one has been involved in a boating accident, it is important to call a lawyer as soon as possible. A lawyer can help you navigate the legal process and get the compensation you deserve. We help gather evidence and witnesses for your case, and negotiate with the other party's insurance company on your behalf. Boating accidents can be complex, and a lawyer will make sure that your rights are protected.
Jet skiing, water skiing, yachting, sailing and tubing are all popular activities that can lead to a variety of boating accidents. These accidents can create expensive, often debilitating or even fatal injuries for their victims. Most claimants who are injured are sometimes accused of contributing to their injuries (“apportionment of fault”) due to failing to follow certain safety precautions. If you’re going to be out on the water, be sure to take all necessary precautions and always wear a life jacket, remain seated when the boat is moving, etc. By being safety-conscious, you can help to prevent being deemed partially at fault should these types of accidents occur .
Calling a lawyer after a boating accident can give you peace of mind and ensure that you are fairly compensated for your damages. Even if you aren't sure if you need a lawyer, it's always a good idea to consult with one. We can advise you on your legal rights and options and help you make the best decisions for your case.
Bike Accident
No one expects to be involved in a serious accident while biking. In fact, many of the cases involving serious injuries involved motorcycles/bicycles/pedestrians as there is very little protection afforded (a bicyclist/motorcyclist or pedestrian would not have the benefit of having a metal/steel cage around them to absorb the sudden impact). But every day, people are injured or killed in bicycle accidents that could have been prevented. Whether it's a reckless driver, a careless pedestrian, or dangerous road conditions, there are many factors that can contribute to a devastating bicycle accident.
