How Much is Your Personal Injury Case Worth?

Fortunately, Steinberg Law Firm’s lawyers have a great deal of knowledge from all the cases we’ve represented over the years.​

Product manufacturers have a crucial responsibility toward their consumers. They must ensure the goods they produce and sell are safe for consumer use, and that they contain adequate warnings of any inherent dangers. Unfortunately, manufacturers and other parties in the distribution chain sometimes produce a dangerous or defective product that injures consumers. In certain cases, the injured person may be able to pursue compensation and accountability.

Dogs are one of the most common household companions in the United States, and most dog owners understand the responsibilities they need to take on when caring for their pets.

As a result, dog bite victims are often entitled to seek compensation for their resulting injuries and other losses.

The medical profession is held to one of the highest standards of professional competency, and for good reason: even a simple, otherwise harmless error on a doctor’s part can end up having profound, possibly life-threatening consequences for patients.

Motorcycle accidents are typically among the most dangerous types of accidents in which a motorist can be involved. Even for motorcyclists who take all possible precautions for their safety, the reality is that even a relatively minor accident has the potential to cause permanent or even life-threatening injuries.

Our clients choose us because we fight aggressively on behalf of injured elders and their families.

Property owners in the United States are able to enjoy a broad range of legal rights, but there are also certain responsibilities that come with the ownership of real property. Chief among these responsibilities is the need to keep premises in adequate condition in order to protect against the likelihood of accidents or personal injuries occurring on private property. For this reason, premises liability laws allow injury victims to hold property owners who ignore this responsibility accountable for the costs of their negligence.

Large trucks such as 18-wheelers and garbage trucks are typically the biggest vehicles on the road, and as a result, they can pose a significant threat to the safety of those who have to share space with them. Indeed, truck accidents are often among the most dangerous types of auto accidents in which a person can be involved, frequently resulting in permanent physical disability or even wrongful death.
