Transportation
Accidents happen - and far too often with painful and tragic consequences on roads, railways and in the skies. The attorneys of Pocrass, Heimanson & Wolf represent people who have been seriously injured in accidents and dangerous incidents involving:
- Airplanes
- Automobiles
- Bicycles
- Buses
- Cruise Ships
- Helicopters
- Horse-Drawn Carriage
- Motorcycles
- Pedestrians
- Trains and Railroad
- Trucks
We regularly represent people with injuries sustained in these accidents, which can include severe orthopedic injuries, spine and disc injuries, traumatic brain injuries and post-traumatic stress disorder.
Aviation accidents, involving private and commercial aircraft, are an area in which our attorneys have significant experience. Recently, we obtained a $4.5 million award for an injured helicopter pilot in a case that involved successful challenges to the FAA and NTSB.
Fighting Tough Challenges with Expert Resources
Pocrass, Heimanson & Wolf attorneys draw upon a deep well of medical and legal knowledge and financial resources. That's how we quantify and qualify the pain that has been inflicted upon you, through no fault of your own.
Typically, representing victims of vehicular accidents requires going up against municipalities, federal government agencies, major insurers and large corporations. These defendants have reputations for hardnosed and protracted responses to claims of injury.
We often have to prove that local governments or private corporations knew about unsafe conditions prior to our client's accident, and ignored the warnings of danger. Sometimes we must counter an agency's report findings as flawed and erroneous and undertake an independent investigation into the facts of the case.
Our attorneys team with leading experts in accident reconstruction - model makers, engineers, and automotive and traffic experts – to reenact and explain the unique circumstances leading to your injury.
Understanding Your Injury, Demanding Justice
Establishing the cause of your accident is one aspect of how we represent you. Determining and explaining the full extent of how your injury accident has altered your life is another.
To do this, we get to know you, and we rely on a trusted network of medical experts. We present a detailed and comprehensive account of the long-term health and financial considerations when we appear before a jury and judge and in settlement negotiations.
Whether your accident occurred on the road, in the air, on the rails or at sea, Pocrass, Heimanson & Wolf attorneys seek maximum recovery for our injured clients and demand full accountability from the people and entities responsible for your harm.
