Hogan & Fahlgren is a full-service law firm, therefore the following list is merely a summary of the major legal service areas in which our firm practices. If you have a matter that is outside the firm's area of expertise, consider Hogan & Fahlgren as a trusted resource for recommending qualified attorneys.
Personal Injury
- All Motor Vehicle Accidents
- All Work Related Injuries
Hogan & Fahlgren experience in litigation, including copyrights, patents, trade secrets, and trademarks, representing both individual and business intellectual property creators and developers. Because much of today's intellectual property is highly technical and involves technology licensing, it helps to have a lawyer with a technology background.
Medical malpractice, simply put, is negligence in performing a professional act. Medical providers are required to exercise reasonable care in accordance with the standards of care for the profession involved. If a doctor, surgeon, hospital, or other medical provider acts, or fails to act, in a manner that deviates from the accepted standard of care, then that provider may be liable for an injured person’s damages.
Though the majority of health care providers do good work, mistakes are sometimes made which could adversely affect a person, as well as their friends and family, for the rest of their lives. We represent individuals and their families whose medical provider has breached the standard of care in diagnosing or treating medical conditions. We have extensive experience in cases involving:
- Failure to diagnose cancer
- Incorrect administration of medication
- Misdiagnosis or late diagnosis
- Obstetrical and gynecological malpractice cases
Our firm represents individuals and their families who have been seriously injured or killed as a result of the negligence, carelessness or recklessness of others. Plaintiff personal injury and wrongful death cases can be difficult. Insurance companies want to limit their exposure or liability when a serious injury or death occurs. Insurance companies hire attorneys whose job it is to aggressively undermine each aspect of the plaintiff's claim. Through experience as both plaintiff and defense counsel, we have become all too familiar with their tactics in order to protect the rights, health, and safety of our clients. Our firm handles all types of serious and catastrophic personal injury and wrongful death cases involving:
- Brain Damage, Burns and Amputations
- Fractures and Dislocations
- Joint, Spinal Cord and Back Injuries
- Other Severe, Permanent and Crippling Injuries
We have successfully represented individuals and their families with claims caused by the negligence, carelessness, and recklessness of others in situations such as:
- Dangerous and Defective Products
- Drugs and Medical Devices
A valid will instructs an executor and the court as to the decedent's wishes for personal and real property distribution and guardianship provisions for children. A trust places assets under the management of trustee at either the creation of the trust or the individual's death. A trustee has a fiduciary responsibility to manage the assets until the terms and conditions of the trust has been fulfilled. Hogan & Fahlgren helps individuals protect their loved ones and plan for the distribution of their property and assets at their death through the drafting and updating of wills and trusts.
Workers' Compensation is a benefit that is available to nearly all employees who suffer an injury that arose out of and in the course of their employment. Work related injuries typically covered by workers' compensation include:
- Asthma or other work related pulmonary conditions
- Carpal tunnel/repetitive trauma injuries
- Occupational diseases such as asbestosis and dermatitis; disfigurement and scarring of face, neck or hands
- Work-induced heart attack or stroke
- Work-related emotional problems
When you are hurt while performing your duties as an employee there is a specialized area of legislation that governs from whom and how much you can recover. This differs from other types of injuries. We are devoted to assisting our clients in working through this complicated area of law in order to receive a fair settlement from all possible sources.
