As a personal injury lawyer, I enjoy helping people. It’s easily the most satisfying part of my job and it’s what drives me to come in to work every day. Those whom I help are real people with real problems.

In personal injury, it’s important to remember that clients are more than just clients. I always make sure that I do. Through my cases, I am able to truly help the people who need it.

When I’m not in the office, I spend time with my wife, who I love very much, and volunteer at my church. I also work extensively with the Boy Scouts of America because I truly believe in the importance of instilling great values in our nation’s young men.

Question:

Do I have a claim if I’m injured on a bike due to a pothole?

Answer:

If you’re in a bicycle injury case and you believe that a defective road could’ve been responsible wholly or partially for this wreck, then you have a claim. You have a claim against the city or the county, but you’re going to need to hire a lawyer early on that can investigate this case. You need to determine, by an investigator or by your attorney, whether or not this section of the road had been involved in other wrecks. You need to find out if the city or the county had notice of this wreck, or that the state had notice of this wreck. If there have been several wrecks there over the past two or three months and they never fixed anything, then that is something serious, and the state, city, or county can be held accountable for it.
