  Truck Accidents

  More than any other type of motor vehicle accident, truck accidents have the potential to cause catastrophic injuries to all those involved. Commercial trucks are typically the largest vehicles on the road, and because of their massive size and force, any accident involving a commercial truck can have potentially disastrous consequences for anyone involved, ranging from serious injury to death, in the worst of circumstances. At Joe Miller Law, Ltd., we are all too aware that truck accident victims in Norfolk and the families of those killed in truck accidents often have to cope with significant losses and expenses as a result of the accident. Fortunately, those in this difficult position may be able to successfully pursue compensation for their injuries and losses, not to mention obtain a sense of justice after being the unsuspecting victim of a truck accident.

  Drunk Driving Accidents

  Drunk driving is a serious problem in the United States, as it annually causes nearly one-third of all fatal vehicle accidents in the country. While most people are fully aware of the dangers associated with drunk driving, far too many people continue to engage in this type of risky behavior, endangering not only themselves, but all those around them. Sadly, drunk driving accidents often result in extremely serious injuries, such as spinal injuries, or even death. At Joe Miller Law, Ltd., we believe that no one in Norfolk should have to pay for the consequences that a drunk driver’s poor decisions had on their life. While taking legal action cannot reverse the repercussions of a drunk driving accident, many victims are able to find justice and obtain financial compensation by filing a lawsuit against the drunk driver who so recklessly chose to get behind the wheel.

• Traumatic brain injuries

  Brain injuries are often some of the most difficult types of injury to recover from, and in many cases, the consequences of a brain injury can prove to be permanent. Because of the essential role that the brain plays in regulating virtually every physical activity, even minor damage can have a profound impact. Thus, even something as minor as a slip and fall accident can have life-changing consequences for victims of brain injuries. Our lawyers at Joe Miller Law, Ltd. believe that no one in Norfolk should have to cope with the traumatizing effects that brain injuries can have by themselves if someone else was responsible for causing their injury. In many cases victims of such injuries are able to hold the party responsible for causing the injury financially and legally accountable for the repercussions, giving victims much-needed support after a brain injury.

  Spinal Cord Injuries

  Spinal injuries, more than almost any other type of injury, can have a devastating impact on the lives of those that they affect. Unlike most other types of injuries, the consequences of spinal injuries are typically permanent and may render the injury victim partially or totally disabled. Thus, the emotional, psychological, and financial costs of these types of injuries are often staggering. At Joe Miller Law, Ltd., we are intensely aware of the debilitating effects that spinal injuries can have on both a victim in Norfolk and his or her family. Fortunately, though, when an individual’s spinal injuries were caused by someone else, whether through direct action, as in the case of car accidents, or indirectly, as in premises liability cases, the injury victim may be entitled to seek compensation for their damages. This can go a long way in helping a victim and their family deal with the aftermath of a spinal injury.

• Burns / Scars

  At Joe Miller Law, Ltd., our lawyers in Norfolk know just how painful, uncomfortable and emotionally traumatizing burns and scars can be. Unfortunately, burns and scars often affect a person permanently, resulting in debilitating consequences for a victim, especially when the burn or scar is particularly severe. While burns and scars are not always the fault of another party, there are, sadly, too many instances in which they are the consequences of another person’s negligent actions. In these situations, unsuspecting people are forced to deal with the unpleasant ramifications that a burn or scar has on their life. Fortunately, though, many victims are able to get justice and compensation from the party who caused their suffering by filling a personal injury lawsuit.

  Neck / Back Injuries

  Any injury to your neck or back could cause serious and lasting pain, not to mention permanent damage in more serious circumstances. Depending on the type of injury you suffer, you might be facing months of medical treatment or physical therapy, lost wages due to missing work, and even permanent life changes. Sadly, this is an injury that far too many people are forced to suffer through as a result of someone else’s carelessness. When another person’s negligence causes a person in Norfolk to suffer from a neck or back injury, our attorneys at Joe Miller Law, Ltd. understand how frustrating and overwhelming this can be. Although you are likely trying to focus on recovering as best as possible in this situation, you should also consider taking legal action against the person whose actions caused you undue harm and suffering, as they may owe you financial compensation

• Broken Bones

  Although broken bones are a common injury caused by unforeseeable accidents, there are many cases in which these often serious injuries could have been prevented. Unfortunately, the negligence of other parties, from reckless drivers to negligent property owners, causes innocent people to sustain broken bones, an often traumatic injury. At Joe Miller Law, Ltd., we know that broken bones can not only cause Norfolk residents substantial pain and suffering, but they can also cause a person to endure significant emotional and financial trauma. While overcoming these types of injuries can be difficult, many victims are able to alleviate the burdens associated with the broken bones by holding the person responsible for causing the injury legally and financially liable.

• Child Injuries

  Arguably, one of a parent’s top concerns is the well-being of their children. Whether a child is at home, daycare, or school, parents rely on others to be responsible and provide the proper care or safe products children deserve. Unfortunately, as the attorneys at Joe Miller Law, Ltd., know all too well, child injuries still occur regularly in the Norfolk area, many of which are due to another person’s negligence. After a child sustains an injury or illness due to someone else’s negligence, anger, frustration, and worry typically plague a parent. Not only are they worried about the health of their child, but paying for the medical bills and losing time at work to take care of your child can cause finances to become tight, exacerbating the situation. Fortunately, in these situations, families can often get much-needed compensation from the party, whether a teacher or product manufacturer, responsible for causing a child harm.

• Slip and Fall

  Slip and fall accidents are not typically considered to be a serious injury threat to most people, but the reality is that millions of Americans suffer substantial physical trauma as a result of slip and fall accidents each year. Slip and fall accidents have the potential to result in traumatic brain injuries or spinal cord damage, the consequences of which can affect injury victims for the rest of their lives. While slip and fall accidents can occur for many different reasons, far too many are the result of a property owner’s negligence. At Joe Miller Law, Ltd., we believe such incidents can often be easily avoided and, as such, those responsible for such accidents in Norfolk should be held legally and financially accountable to the victims. In fact, because of the serious damage that slip and fall accidents often cause for victims, being able to hold the irresponsible property owner who allowed the accident to happen financially liable can often be the only way a victim is able to properly recover.

  Car Accidents

  It is no secret that millions of Americans rely on cars and other motor vehicles for their transportation needs on a daily basis. In fact, many people own multiple vehicles for both their basic needs and personal pleasure. Unfortunately, cars and other motor vehicles are also one of the leading causes of serious injuries and deaths among Americans, as these vehicles and their motorists often endanger the health and safety of motorists. Sadly, as even minor car accidents have the potential to cause serious injuries to drivers and passengers alike, including potentially life-altering injuries, such as brain and spinal damage. At Joe Miller Law, Ltd., our attorneys know that car accidents in Norfolk can occur for a wide range of different reasons; however, far too many of these accidents are the result of someone else, whether another driver, the vehicle manufacturer, or even the agency responsible for maintaining road safety. Sadly, many of these car accidents can often have been prevented, if only the person responsible had acted more carefully.

• Nursing Home Negligence

  Sadly, nursing home negligence is a serious problem facing residents of these care facilities in the United States. From elderly adults to people who are unable to care for themselves, these facilities are supposed to provide the daily care and attention that these people need. Unfortunately, many of these facilities do not only fail to give their residents the care and medical attention they need, but go so far as to physical, emotionally, or financially abuse their residents. The trauma that nursing home residents may suffer as a result of nursing home negligence or abuse can be devastating. At Joe Miller Law, Ltd., our legal team understands how difficult suffering from nursing home abuse or negligence can be for anyone in Norfolk and their family. Fortunately, legal action can often be taken against such abusive parties, even for something as seemingly simple as failure to take timely action to pursue medical care for nursing home residents. While filing a nursing home abuse lawsuit will not erase the abuse and its effects, it can go a long way towards helping a victim and their family get both the justice and compensation they need after such an incident.

  Premises Liability

  Property owners are legally obligated to maintain the safety of their premises in order to ensure that their guests and others who may visit or use the property are not unfairly exposed to serious injury risks. When this responsibility is not upheld, whether as a result of simple negligence or active recklessness on the part of the property owner, it can result in devastating injuries for unsuspecting visitors, something for which a property owner may be held liable through a premises liability lawsuit. Premises liability injuries can often be severe. In fact, it is not uncommon for those injured under these circumstances to experience spinal cord injuries or even brain damage. At Joe Miller Law, Ltd., we believe that no one in Norfolk should have to pay for these types of consequences on their own if their injury was caused by a reckless property owner. Fortunately, many victims of such accidents are able to seek the justice and compensation they need by taking legal action against the party responsible for the unsafe property.
