Specialized
Practice Areas
Serious personal injury can be devastating, and
can cause sudden disruption of one’s life.
Personal injury can prevent one from working to
provide for ourselves and our family, and can
result in the need for lifetime medical assistance
and supportive care.
A sudden, unexpected loss of life or serious personal
injury can require immediate assistance from a
lawyer knowledgeable in the areas of personal
injury to assist in the protection of the injured
individual or their surviving family members.
Below are a few examples of broader definitions
of some of the case types that the Law Offices
of Steven A. Fabbro will handle on your behalf.
CATASTROPHIC PERSONAL INJURIES:
Personal Injuries can be the result from auto
accidents, product liability, slip & falls,
environmental disasters, toxic exposures, travel
disasters, dangerous property, assault and battery
or any other negligent or intentional wrong doing
resulting in physical injury of death.
Dangerous property can include exclusive to buildings
such as private homes, apartment or commercial
buildings, and hotels. The law also applies to
public or government property including such as
sidewalks, construction sites, college campus.
MEDICAL MALPRACTICE:
Health care providers are held responsible to
provide competent patient services. The competency
is measured by the standards in care for the applicable
specialty of health care. The standards apply
to the performance of medical procedures, development
of disease diagnosis, and prescription of health
remedies.
If a health care provider fails to exercise due
care in the provision of such services, their
conduct may fall below the applicable standard
of care and may be held liable for any resulting
injury suffered by a patient.
Consent forms do not always release a doctor from
liability for improperly care provided to a patient.
Recoveries for pharmaceutical products that are
dispensed by the healthcare provider or agent
that lead to personal injury or death are obtainable.
You are able to seek a recovery for a birth defect
if the doctor failed to proved adequate medical
care or advise the mother during the pregnancy
or delivery and birth injuries.
PRODUCT LIABILITY:
Consumer Products: Many consumer
products such as automobiles, motorcycles, bicycles,
food products, power tools and household appliances
can be defective if they are not designed or manufactured
safely, even if the manufacturer claims the product
meets the “industry standards”.
Warning labels may be ineffective to convey the
appropriate directions for use, or degree of danger
associate with product use. Design pr manufacturing
flaws may make a product unsafe for any use. Many
people are now concerned about
Industrial Products: Industrial
products such as chemicals pesticides, fumigants,
solvents, and paints and cause serious injuries
or death resulting from unsafe handling or application.
Such negligence may also be the result of a manufacture’s
failure to property warn, label, package or formulate
the product leading to injury to the user or bystander.
Health Care Products: Health care products
can be sold over the counter, such as vitamins
or cosmetics, or by physician prescription. Many
such products must be established to be safe and
effective for their intended use before they can
be sold to the public.
Most prescriptive productions must go through a
rigorous pre-market approval process by the U.S.
Food and Drug Administration before they can be
sold to the consuming public. Some prescriptive
products can be defective because they are not
labeled or formulated correctly. Some drugs interact
with others producing dangerous side effects.
Some drugs present health risks to some people.
Some medical devices such as artificial joints
and pace makers can fail and break due to a defect.
Manufacturers are required to test for such dangers
and warn the public about health risk associated
with use of their products, whether they are prescriptive
drugs, implanted medical devices, or cosmetic
products.
WRONGFUL DEATH:
If a family member is killed, the immediate family
is able to seek a recovery for the lost financial
support of the loved one, as well as the loss
of their love and affection. For many people such
a recovery is the only way to reestablish financial
security and to rebuild their lives.
Death is usually sudden and unexpected, and not
always well planned for even by the most prudent
of people. The loss of a life can be traumatic
and particularly hard on small children.
At the Law Offices of Steven A. Fabbro we are mindful
of the devastating affect of tragic loss of a
loved one and can assist the family with urgency
so that there is immediate attention provided
at such an important time of need.
