Truck Accidents

Personal Injury Lawyer for Trucking Accident Victims
Truck accidents can be devastating. Unlike a vehicle accident in which only smaller cars are involved, a crash involving a commercial truck, big rig or semi truck has a higher chance of causing a fatality or catastrophic injury. This is due to the sheer size and mass of these larger vehicles. Those who survive a truck accident may have suffered serious injuries such as broken bones, back, neck or spinal cord injury, brain injury, severe cuts and bruises and other injuries.

After an accident such as this, you may not be able to work or even do the everyday things you need to accomplish to live your life. That is where a dedicated Michigan personal injury attorney at the Clark Law Office may be able to help.

Slip and Falls

A slip and fall accident occurs when a person slips and falls due to a hazardous condition on the premises where they were walking. The law in Michigan is very complex and the need to have a skilled Lansing injury attorney review your case and preserve evidence is very important. In Michigan even where the owner is negligent you must still prove the defect to the property was not “open and obvious”. Open and obvious is a term of art in the law and is very complex. There are many factors that could contribute to a slip and fall accident, such as:

  • Broken stairs or handrails
  • Tattered or torn carpets
  • Wet or slippery floors
  • Obstructed walkways
  • Exposed holes or ditches
  • Poor lighting
  • Falling objects
  • Floor collapse
  • Failure to post warning signs
  • Ice

Although it may not seem like a slip and fall would lead to a serious injury, the truth is a slip and fall accident can easily result in crippling conditions to the victim. Injures common in a slip and fall accident include head trauma, brain injury, back and spinal cord injuries, paralysis, broken or fractured bones, permanent disability, and more.

If you’ve suffered an injury due to a slip and fall, you may have the right to file a personal injury lawsuit against the owner of the property. Property owners have a legal responsibility to ensure their premises are free of any dangerous conditions that could lead to an accident. If you can prove that you slip and fell due to such a condition, and that incident led to a serious injury and the defect to the property was not “open and obvious” you will be entitled to collect compensation. With the help of an experienced Lansing slip and fall lawyer, you could recover compensation for your pain and suffering, emotional trauma, medical bills and hospitalization expenses, future medical expenses, lost wages, future lost wages, and decreased quality of life.

Our Michigan Drug Defense Attorneys Handle All Types of Drug Crimes and Charges
Michigan drug defense attorney David Clark has successfully defended many clients through Lansing, East Lansing, Okemos and surrounding areas against a variety of drug crimes including:

  • Drug cultivation
  • Drug distribution
  • Drug importation
  • Drug possession
  • Drug manufacturing
  • Drug possession with intent to distribute
  • Drug sale or distribution
  • Drug trafficking
  • Drug transportation
  • Drug conspiracy
  • Being under the influence of drugs
  • Juvenile drug crimes

The penalties for these crimes depend largely on two factors: the type of drugs involved, and the quantity of drugs involved. It’s obvious that the larger the quantity of drugs involved, the more severe the charges and penalties will be. But certain drugs carry heavier penalties than others. For instance, being in possession of marijuana is a lesser offense than being in possession of the same amount of heroin or cocaine. That being said, a person will face harsher penalties for trafficking large quantities of marijuana than they would for possessing a small amount of heroin.

To determine what types of charges and penalties you may face, as well what can be done to avoid them, it’s best to speak with an experienced drug crimes defense attorney right away.
