Brain Injuries

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report that approximately 2.5 million people suffer traumatic brain injuries in the United States every year.

Of those, 7,721 required extensive hospital stays.

Car Accidents

If you or a family member has been injured in a car accident, you need to make sure that you find the right attorney to represent you as soon as possible. The insurance company is looking out for its own best interests, and you need to do the same! That’s why many New England residents choose David Dwork to represent them when they have been in a car accident involving a head injury.

Construction Accidents

Construction is an important industry, but one that can cause a number of accidents — not only to construction workers, but also pedestrians and passers-by. Crane accidents, burns, trip and fall accidents, electrocutions, exposure to asbestos or other hazardous materials, and being struck by falling objects are just a few of the many hazards you might encounter on a construction site.

Falling from a considerable height is another hazard of construction work, and one that can cause traumatic brain injury that can cause a range of long-lasting problems, from paralysis to reduced cognitive function.

Product Liability

Americans use consumer products almost every hour of every day. The legal term “product” covers everything from cars to toys to food and drugs. While there are laws in place to prevent injuries from defective products, they often do not kick in until many individuals have already been hurt. When there is a mandatory product recall of a vehicle or infant safety seat, it is often because many people have already been hurt or killed. The law recognizes the special danger that is posed to consumers when they use a product. Therefore, the courts have generally held that when a consumer is injured by a product, the manufacturer is liable for the injuries unless the case fits into some very limited exceptions. Even if the product was not purchased directly from the manufacturer, the manufacturer is still liable for any damage the product causes.

Medical Malpractice

Doctors are responsible for keeping us healthy and safe. They monitor our vitals, perform surgery, deliver our children, and care for us when we are ill. But sometimes doctors make mistakes. And these mistakes could usually have been prevented if the doctor was more careful during their treatment of the patient. These mistakes can be physical mistakes, such as hitting a nerve or nicking a blood vessel during surgery, or they can be mistakes in judgment, like misdiagnosis. Regardless of the type of mistake, they can have very serious consequences for the patient.

When you’ve been injured by medical malpractice, you may not know where to turn. At the outset, you might not even know that you were injured until you later uncover that the source of your illness or injury was due to negligence of a doctor or hospital staff. An experienced Boston medical malpractice attorney can help you evaluate your claim and give you the information you need to make legal decisions. Attorney David Dwork can assist you with your medical malpractice claim.

Slip and Fall

Slip and fall accidents occur when a person is injured because of a dangerous condition on another person’s property. These accidents are also called premises liability claims, because the owner of the premises may be liable for any injuries that happen on their property. A slip and fall case may not, by its name alone, seem like a very serious accident. However, slip and fall injuries can be as severe, including death or traumatic and permanent brain injury.

Sexual Assault Victims

Sadly, sexual assaults happen to residents Massachusetts and throughout the country. Sexual assault cases often come to light after many years, years in which the victim spent suffering intense trauma while dealing with the pain of what happened to them. But if you’re a victim of sexual assault, hiring an attorney to bring your assailant to justice can help to end your silence.

Many sexual assault victims knew or trusted the individual that assaulted them. Sexual assaults happen in churches, day cares, camps, and sports teams, which are, sadly, the exact places where an individual should be safe from sexual predators. However, recent high-profile cases have revealed that these settings can sometimes have a hidden danger, and a horrible crime can be perpetrated on children, teenagers, and adults, both male and female, by the very people they thought they could trust.
