Tractor Trailer Accidents
Any automobile accident has catastrophic potential; however, an accident involving an 80,000 pound tractor trailer truck increases the risk of not just critical injury but death. Often, tractor trailer drivers are contracted by large companies who, when a critical injury or wrongful death results from the negligence of one of their drivers, would rather protect their own financial interests than compensate you for your pain and suffering. Jason Schultz isn’t afraid to fight large commercial corporations or insurance companies, especially when they are trying to get away with paying you less than you need to cover medical costs, irreparable physical damage, and lost wages.

Florida Wage and Hour Law
Accepting a paycheck from an employer does not mean that you surrender your rights as a citizen. It is an unfortunate truth that many employers routinely take advantage of their employees. They refuse to pay for overtime, have employees work “off the clock,” alter times sheets, or require workers to arrive early to perform required preparations for their job. We provide our clients with a Wage/Hour Audit to determine whether or not they have been treated fairly in accordance with the law, and we provide thorough and dedicated legal counsel for those that have been taken advantage of by their employers. Cavey and Barrett are currently offering a special report on your rights as a working Florida citizen.

Medical Malpractice
As legal experts, the lawyers at Van Dorn & Curtiss know the trust that you place in professionals when you retain their services. Medical professionals in particular have a responsibility to their patients; careless treatment of a patient that results in misdiagnosis has repercussions far beyond simply making a mistake. Misdiagnoses can lead to permanent disability or even death. Doctors, hospitals and nursing homes pay huge malpractice insurance premiums in order to protect themselves, and their insurance companies are powerful enough to try anything to avoid paying claims that injured persons deserve because not all medical errors are covered by medical malpractice laws. Teams of medical malpractice attorneys don’t scare us. In fact, when it becomes clear that we are representing the injured party, those legal teams decide to settle. If they don’t agree to our settlement terms, we will litigate and we will win.

Criminal Law
Some people think during a criminal case that if they cooperate with police by signing papers or answering questions, they will be set free. Wrong! It is too late for that after an arrest has been made. In this instance, the job of any law enforcement officer is to arrest a suspect and collect evidence that will get the suspect (YOU!) convicted of the crime in question. This includes getting the suspect to incriminate themselves, sign a statement of guilt, or have a recorded statement by the suspect stating he or she is guilty.

Jones Act & Maritime Law Attorneys
As home to the busiest seaport in the nation, Houston and the surrounding counties employs thousands of seamen along its 25 mile coast. Seamen working in the Houston Ship Channel, Galveston Bay, Jefferson County, Orange County, in Louisana and Mississippi and other areas across the Port of Houston and Gulf Coast have unique protections under maritime law and a federal law known as the Jones Act. Maritime law allows those injured by the negligence of others to pursue a claim for damages against those responsible. The Jones Act permits seamen to initiate legal actions directly against an employer when injury or death occurs as a result of an employer’s negligence. V & B attorneys have experience in helping injured seamen, offshore workers, and the survivors of seamen and offshore workers killed on the job make the most of their rights under maritime law and the Jones Act. Read more about the Jones Act and how V & B attorneys can help you today.
