What Kinds Of Cases Does Brett & Coats Handle?
We have a very narrow focus. We focus
exclusively on major personal injury and
wrongful death cases.
A wrongful death case is where someone
dies as a result of the negligence of
another party.
A major personal injury case involves a
serious injury, for example:
- an injury to the brain or spinal cord
- a closed head injury, sometimes called a traumatic brain injury
- a burn injury
- an injury involving fractures requiring surgery
- neurologic injury, often involving injury to the discs -- bulging or ruptured discs causing pain and neuropathy.
We do not do soft tissue or whiplash
cases – we just can’t represent
everyone.
The cases we take come from a variety of
sources:
- crashes: car, truck, motorcycle, bicycle and pedestrian accidents
- railroad crossing cases
- right now we are representing the victims of the largest domestic airplane tragedy of 2007.
We don’t do slip and fall cases, dog
bites, or rear end collisions with minor
injuries – we just can’t represent
everyone.
We confine our practice to major
personal injury and wrongful death
cases.
