Personal injury litigation

iii

The Law Offices of Richard Seligman litigates personal injury cases both small and complex. The firm’s aggressive and creative approach to litigation has recovered large sums of money in cases where less energetic attorneys have declined representation. For instance, in recent years, the firm recovered over one million dollars in a case where 71 men, women, and children suffered physical and psychological injuries and lost household belongings as the result of a gas explosion. In many large personal injury firms your case is one of hundreds on an assembly line. At The Law Offices of Richard Seligman, your case receives the focused attention of experienced and compassionate attorneys.
 
The following are examples of the types of cases with which the firm has experience:

p  Wrongful Death—Cases involving fatal car accidents,   prisoners who die as a result of official indifference to their safety or police excessive force when shooting and killing an unarmed suspect;
 
p  Medical Malpractice—Cases involving  failure to diagnose and treat life-threatening alcohol withdrawal and other serious medical conditions in prison;
 
p  Automobile Accidents—Routine auto cases involving collisions with back and neck injuries as well as more serious cases involving serious permanent injuries to pedestrians, hit-and-run and uninsured motorist claims;
 
p  Slip & Fall—Cases involving significant injuries and recovery in excess of $100,000;
 
p  Gas Explosion—The firm recovered large awards in a joint action on behalf of 21 injured families;
