Practice Areas

PERSONAL INJURY:

When you or a loved one is injured in an accident, you need an attorney who will guide you through the process of making a claim and dealing with the insurance company. The attorneys at Howard, Kohn, Sprague & FitzGerald have many decades of experience in this area of the law and, importantly, have the respect of insurance company claims representatives and opposing counsel. While most cases are settled before trial, our opponents know that we are not afraid to put our case before a judge or a jury and that we are prepared to try the case if settlement negotiations are unsuccessful.

Some of the types of case we have handled include:

Motor vehicle crashes
Slip and falls
Dog bites
Construction site accidents
Catastrophic burn injuries
Falling tree limbs
Accidental Drowning

MEDICAL MALPRACTICE:

When a physician, hospital, therapist or other healthcare provider makes a mistake, it can have lifelong consequences for the injured patient and his or her family. When you are considering hiring an attorney, you should ask the attorney what experience he has had with these types of cases because they can be highly complex and are almost always aggressively defended. The attorneys at Howard, Kohn, Sprague & FitzGerald are experienced and successful medical malpractice attorneys. Examples of the types of cases we have handled are:

Misdiagnosis of evolving stroke
Misdiagnosis of impending heart attack
Misdiagnosis of myocarditis (heart infection)
Colon perforation during colonoscopy
Decubitis ulcers (bed sores)
Dental injuries
