Bisnar Chase LLP

Elder abuse in California, and throughout the nation is a huge problem and its getting bigger everyday, it's getting bigger everyday because there are more elders. The companies who run elder facilities are for-profit facilities, and the way they can make more money, is by shorting the staff, so what happens is the amount of staff that is in nursing homes is usually much less then there should be, and much less than it takes to take care of the elderly people.

Are car accident lawsuits common in Massachusetts?

Thomas M. Kiley and Associates, LLP

"Many people who haven't been in car accidents think that if that happened to them, they're just going to call their insurance agent and that their car is going to be fixed, their medical bills are going to be paid, they're going to be paid for their time out of work, and they're going to be paid for the pain and suffering of this horrible experience that they've had. That's not the case. Insurance companies, they're in business to make a profit. They make a profit by paying as little as possible on your claim. The adjusters are trained to do this. Even with an experienced attorney involved, they still resist paying full value on claims. That's why many times these cases require being taken to court to hold the insurance company accountable to ensure that they pay full value for what happened to you. I'm attorney Tom Kiley, I've been representing the seriously injured, and their families, in Massachusetts for over three decades."

Are accidents from auto defects common?

Thomas M. Kiley and Associates, LLP

Many times in auto accidents either the cause of the accident or the enhanced injury occurs as the result of the defective or faulty design of the vehicle itself. Unfortunately, most of the time that people are involved in single car accidents they have no idea the vehicle cause contributed to it. Many of these cases are never pursued. They never end up in the hands of lawyers. The thing to look for is, in SUVs, high center of gravity , the ability of the vehicle to roll over easily, such as the 15 passenger vans, failure of seatbelts, roof fall in event the vehicle rolls over, defective air bag - the air bag deploys but doesn't deploy at the appropriate time, protecting their occupant.
