Personal Injury, Negligence, and Premises Liability Attorneys

Car, Truck, and Motorcycle Accidents

Motor vehicle accidents are among the leading causes of personal injury claims. Whether caused by distracted driving, speeding, impaired driving, or poor road conditions, car, truck, and motorcycle accidents can result in severe injuries or even death. Victims of these accidents often face significant medical expenses, lost income, and long-term pain and suffering.

At Ferikes Bleynat & Cannon, we represent victims of motor vehicle accidents, helping them recover compensation for their medical bills, rehabilitation, and other related costs. Our attorneys thoroughly investigate each case, gathering evidence such as police reports, witness statements, and accident reconstruction data to build a strong claim. Whether you were involved in a car, truck, or motorcycle accident, we work tirelessly to ensure that the responsible party is held accountable.

Premises Liability

Property owners have a legal responsibility to maintain safe conditions on their premises. If you were injured due to unsafe conditions, inadequate security, or the negligence of a property owner, you may have a premises liability claim. Common premises liability cases include slip and falls, inadequate maintenance, and unsafe buildings. However, injuries caused by animal attacks, such as dog bites, also fall under this area of law.

• Slip and fall accidents: Property owners must ensure their premises are free from hazards, including wet floors, uneven surfaces, or poorly lit areas. If you’ve been injured in a slip and fall accident on someone else’s property, we can help you seek compensation for your injuries.
• Animal attacks and dog bites: When animals, particularly dogs, cause harm, the owners can be held liable for injuries, especially if the animal was known to be dangerous. Dog bites can lead to serious physical and emotional trauma, and the law allows victims to pursue compensation for their injuries, medical bills, and any long-term consequences such as scarring or psychological distress.

Defective Products and Drugs

Injuries caused by defective products or drugs can lead to long-term or even life-threatening consequences. Product defects may result from poor design, faulty manufacturing, or inadequate safety warnings. Our attorneys have extensive experience handling product liability cases, including those involving:

• Defective medical devices
• Dangerous drugs
• Unsafe consumer products
• Defective vehicles or auto parts

We work closely with industry experts to investigate the cause of the defect and prove how it contributed to your injury. These cases often involve complicated technical aspects, but our firm is equipped to handle the most complex product liability claims.

Fair Compensation for Your Injuries

When you’ve been harmed due to someone else’s negligence, you may be entitled to various forms of compensation, including:

• Medical expenses: Covering past and future medical bills related to your injuries.
• Lost wages: Reimbursement for lost income due to time away from work, as well as compensation for any diminished earning capacity.
• Pain and suffering: Damages for physical and emotional distress caused by the injury.
• Property damage: Compensation for damage to personal property, such as vehicles in car accidents.
• Loss of enjoyment: Compensation for the inability to participate in activities you enjoyed before the injury.
• Punitive damages: In some cases, punitive damages may be awarded to punish particularly reckless or malicious behavior by the responsible party.

No Fees Unless We Recover Compensation

At Ferikes Bleynat & Cannon, we understand the financial burden that often comes with serious injury. Our firm operates on a contingency fee basis, meaning you don’t pay us unless we recover compensation for you through a settlement or trial.
