An accident caused by negligence can change a person's life in an instant. Whether a case involves a pedestrian hit by a careless driver, a patient harmed by medical malpractice, or a family devastated by a wrongful death, the financial and emotional burdens that victims face can be overwhelming. Mannarino & Brasfield, A Division of Schwartz Jambois is dedicated to securing the compensation injury victims need for medical expenses, lost wages, and emotional suffering.

Our legal team handles various personal injury cases, including:

Pedestrian Accidents

Collisions involving vehicles and pedestrians often result in severe or fatal injuries. Common causes of pedestrian accidents include:

• Speeding in residential areas or near crosswalks
• Failure to yield at intersections
• Distracted driving
• Driving while intoxicated by alcohol or drugs

Injuries from pedestrian accidents can range from broken bones and spinal cord injuries to traumatic brain injuries. Victims may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, rehabilitation, and other damages.

Medical Malpractice

When doctors, nurses, or hospitals fail to provide proper medical care, patients can suffer serious harm. Medical malpractice cases may involve:

• Medication errors – Administering the wrong dosage or prescribing the wrong drug
• Birth injuries – Negligence during labor and delivery causing harm to newborns or mothers
• Surgical errors – Mistakes made during procedures, such as operating on the wrong site
• Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis – Failure to identify a serious condition in time for effective treatment

Medical malpractice cases require extensive legal and medical analysis to prove that the negligence of medical professionals caused patients to suffer injuries. Our attorneys work with medical experts to build strong claims for affected patients.

Rideshare Accidents

Due to the increasing use of rideshare apps like Lyft and Uber, more and more private drivers who transport passengers are involved in serious collisions. Rideshare accidents present unique legal challenges, such as determining whether the driver was actively transporting a passenger at the time of the crash.

Victims of rideshare accidents, including passengers, pedestrians, and other motorists, may face difficulties in securing compensation due to the complexities of insurance policies and the classification of rideshare drivers as independent contractors. Our attorneys help clients with the claims process to make sure they can recover damages from rideshare companies and their insurers.

Truck Accidents

Collisions involving large commercial trucks often lead to catastrophic injuries due to the immense weight of these vehicles. Common causes of truck accidents include:

• Driver fatigue from excessive hours on the road
• Poor vehicle maintenance leading to mechanical failures
• Improperly secured cargo causing rollovers or jackknifes
• Distracted or impaired driving

Truck accident claims may involve multiple liable parties, including trucking companies, manufacturers, and insurance providers. Our attorneys will help identify all responsible parties, and we will work to recover the maximum available compensation for victims.

Premises Liability

Property owners have a duty to keep their premises safe for visitors. When they fail to do so, serious accidents can occur. Premises liability cases may involve:

• Slip and fall accidents – Wet floors, uneven sidewalks, or poor lighting leading to falls
• Negligent security – Assaults or attacks that occur due to inadequate security measures
• Dog bites – Injuries caused by an unrestrained or aggressive animal

Injuries from unsafe property conditions may require extensive medical treatment, and victims may suffer both physical pain and emotional trauma. Our lawyers will work to hold negligent property owners responsible for the injuries they have caused.

Wrongful Death

Losing a loved one due to negligence is devastating, and these situations can leave families with emotional and financial burdens. A wrongful death claim allows surviving family members to recover compensation for:

• Funeral and burial costs
• Medical expenses related to the fatal injury
• Loss of income and financial support
• Emotional pain and suffering

Our attorneys have secured substantial settlements and verdicts for wrongful death claims, including a case in which our client was awarded $19.2 million. While no amount of money can replace a loved one, legal action can help provide financial stability during a difficult time.
