Trucking Accidents
18-wheelers, semi-trucks, and tractor-trailer collisions. Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration violations, electronic logging device records, and driver hours-of-service discovery are pursued from the first letter of representation.
- FMCSA_regulatory_violations
- ELD & HOS_record_discovery
- black_box_data_preservation
- carrier_broker_liability
Commercial Vehicle
Box trucks, delivery vans, rideshare fleets, company cars, and bus collisions. Commercial-vehicle cases involve corporate policies, training records, vicarious liability, and substantially higher insurance limits than standard auto matters.

- employer_negligent_entrustment
- rideshare & delivery_platforms
- policy_layering_analysis
Aviation Accidents
Commercial airline, private aviation, helicopter, and charter-flight crashes. We coordinate with NTSB reports, FAA regulatory history, maintenance logs, and aviation experts to establish pilot, manufacturer, or operator liability.
- NTSB & FAA_record_analysis
- maintenance_log_review
- manufacturer_liability
- helicopter & charter
Train Accidents
Railroad crossing collisions, derailments, FELA worker claims, and passenger rail injury. Federal Railroad Administration regulations and the Federal Employers' Liability Act create a specialized litigation framework we are equipped to handle.

- crossing_signal_failure
- derailment_investigation

Refinery Accidents
Catastrophic injury and fatalities arising from refinery fires, explosions, chemical releases, and process-safety failures. OSHA Process Safety Management standards and operator-contractor liability are central to these cases.
- process_safety_management
- flash_fire & explosion
- contractor_vs_operator_duty
- OSHA_PSM_compliance
Industrial Accidents
Manufacturing plants, chemical facilities, warehouses, and heavy industry. We pursue third-party liability against equipment manufacturers, premises owners, and contractors when injury occurs on industrial work sites.

- caught_in_struck_by
- chemical_exposure
- third_party_liability
Oil Field Accidents
Drilling rigs, fracking sites, pipeline operations, and wellhead injuries. Multi-employer worksite analysis, master service agreement indemnity provisions, and OSHA records work in concert in oilfield litigation.
- drilling_rig_injury
- blowout & pipeline_incident
- MSA_indemnity_analysis
- multi-employer_worksite
Construction Accidents
Falls from height, scaffold collapse, crane incidents, electrocution, and crush injuries. Construction matters require coordination with workers' compensation counsel so that the third-party recovery is preserved and maximized.
- fall_protection_failures
- scaffold & crane
- third_party_recovery
- OSHA_violation_analysis
Natural Gas Explosion
Residential, commercial, and pipeline gas explosions. Utility company maintenance records, odorant testing, leak surveys, and damage-prevention compliance under Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration regulations are evaluated.
- utility_maintenance_records
- PHMSA_compliance
- odorant & leak_detection
- one_call_violation_review
Offshore Accidents
Jones Act, Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act, and Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act claims. Offshore matters involve federal maritime jurisdiction and a body of law unfamiliar to general personal injury counsel.
- Jones_Act_seaman_status
- LHWCA_claims
- maintenance_and_cure
- unseaworthiness_doctrine
Power Line Electrocution
Contact with overhead and underground electrical lines causing fatal and catastrophic injuries. National Electrical Safety Code compliance, utility easement clearances, and OSHA approach distances are essential elements of these cases.

- utility_easement_review
- OSHA_approach_distance
- arc_flash & burn_injury
Don't see your incident?
Industrial and energy litigation cuts across disciplines. If your matter doesn't map cleanly to a heading above — a chemical release, a utility-line collision, a contractor-on-contractor injury, a multi-vehicle commercial crash — the firm still wants to hear it.
Most catastrophic cases sit at the intersection of two or three of these areas. We staff the case based on what the evidence shows, not what the form says.
start_a_case_review →Catastrophic Injuries
Life-altering injury requiring extensive long-term medical care, vocational disruption, and modified housing. Life-care planners, vocational economists, and medical experts work together to establish the full lifetime cost.

- vocational_rehabilitation
- future_medical_cost_modeling
- economic_loss_analysis
Spinal Cord Injuries
Paraplegia, quadriplegia, and incomplete spinal cord injuries. These matters require specialized neurology and rehabilitation experts and present some of the highest lifetime-care exposures in personal injury litigation.

Traumatic Brain Injury
From mild concussion with persistent symptoms to severe TBI with permanent cognitive impairment. Neuropsychological evaluation, diagnostic imaging, and pre-injury baseline comparison are central to proving damages.

Wrongful Death
Every state defines wrongful death and survival actions differently. We litigate these matters in the proper jurisdiction with full attention to statutory beneficiaries, pecuniary loss, and non-economic damages.

Product Liability
Defective drugs, medical devices, automotive systems, industrial equipment, and consumer products. Design-defect, manufacturing-defect, and failure-to-warn theories — supported by engineering and regulatory work.
