Injuries and Accidents
Every day people are injured in accidents, many of which could have been prevented – and many of which were caused by somebody’s carelessness. According to the latest statistics from the National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC), in one year in the United States there were over 29 million injuries and over 167 thousand deaths. The types of possible injuries are nearly endless. They include burn injuries, brain injuries, injuries from defective products, spinal cord injuries, animal bites, slip and fall injuries, amusement park accidents, injuries caused by drunk drivers, electrical shock injuries, injuries from boating accidents, firearm injuries, injuries sustained during motor vehicle accidents, and more. We at Tavss Fletcher have a proven track record with a wide variety of accident injury cases, and have secured substantial jury verdicts and settlements for our clients.

What could be more frightening than to put your faith in a doctor or hospital, only to learn that a terrible accident has occurred, or, even worse, to lose a loved one? Sadly, this is the experience for many Americans. Add to this the existence of laws which give the medical industry and their insurance companies unfair protections against fair claims and it becomes extremely difficult – if not impossible – to be adequately compensated for your loss. If a medical mistake has happened to you or someone you love, you may be wondering where to turn. The lawyers at Tavss Fletcher know how to help you. When you have the right to collect damages for your pain and suffering, lost wages, medical bills, and loss of companionship in case of death, our experienced lawyers know what to do and will help make sure you get what you deserve.

Finding yourself charged with a crime can be a daunting experience. If you are facing prosecution at the state or federal level, and you’re not careful, you could sacrifice your freedom. According to the U.S. Department of Justice Bureau of Justice Statistics, the number of convictions at the state and federal level has been increasing over the last few years. This, combined with the fact that criminal cases and serious traffic offenses carry substantial fines and other penalties over and above jail, means that you need the representation of an attorney who knows how the system works. And the earlier you involve a criminal defense attorney in your case, the better. The lawyers at Tavss Fletcher are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and will use their skill to help you to navigate the treacherous waters of any criminal case.

Motorcycle accidents happen despite the safe driving habits of most bikers. For some reason, many drivers fail to see motorcycles even when they’re right in front of them. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) states that motorcycle accidents and fatalities have been increasing since the late 1990’s, and are an increasingly serious public health matter. This is not surprising, given the surge in popularity of motorcycles and motorcycles clubs. You or someone close to you may have been enjoying the freedom and excitement of riding a motorcycle, only to suffer in an accident because of somebody else’s carelessness. If you find yourself in this situation, the law firm of Tavss Fletcher can help. No matter what kind of motorcycle you ride – high performance sport bike, Harley, chopper, big twin cruiser, custom cycle or scooter – the skilled lawyers at Tavss Fletcher will know what to do when you or a loved one is the victim of another motorist’s carelessness.

With over half a million trucking companies in business today and over 85 million trucks traveling America’s roadways, it is probably no surprise that over 5, 000 fatal trucking accidents occur every year – and many more non-fatal accidents and overweight citations. Pedestrians, bicyclists, other motorists and their passengers, and the truck drivers themselves have all been victims of tractor-trailer accidents. Truck accidents are different than regular automobile accidents, as special laws apply to trucks and truck drivers have certain licensing and training requirements that they must meet. If you or someone you love has been involved in a truck accident, you want to be certain that you talk to a law firm with experience handling this type of case. The lawyers at Tavss Fletcher have the skill and expertise you will need to fight the good fight – to make sure that justice is served – if you’ve been involved in a tragic trucking accident.
