We have helped clients in a number of different types of cases, including:
- Motor vehicle accidents: Including car accidents, truck accidents and motorcycle accidents. Since these accidents often include the use of drugs or alcohol by the at-fault party, we pay special attention to helping the victims of drunk driving accidents.
- Premises liability: Premises liability refers to accidents suffered as a visitor or invitee on someone else's property. People can get hurt in slip-and-falls, trip-and-fall, defective stairs, broken railing, inadequate lighting or slippery surfaces.
- Wrongful death: If you have a loved one who has been killed in an automobile accident or any other accident due to the negligence of another, you should consult with an attorney to make sure that your family recovers all insurance or benefits which might be available. Attorney Baker is personally familiar with the grief a family suffers following such an accident. After such an accident, there are usually investigations done by law enforcement or other government entities depending on the accident. Mr. Baker can assist in obtaining the evidence gathered by law enforcement and securing pictures, witness statements and other evidence that might be crucial following such an accident.
- Dog bites or dog attacks: If you or a loved one has been injured due to a dog bite or attack, we can help. In South Carolina the owner of the dog who bites or attacks is responsible for the actions of the dog. The recovery in such a case will come from the dog owner's insurance company or his or her personal assets. Dog bites/attacks are generally very serious matters, and one should immediately seek medical treatment. The incident should be reported to law enforcement, who will document the attack and notify animal control. Law enforcement will generally determine who the dog owner is if that is unknown. They will also be able to determine if the animal has a history of attacking humans.
- Injuries to minors: Our firm has been involved in many cases involving injuries to minors. If your child has been injured due to the negligence of a third party, we can help. These types of injuries can be very emotional for the parents involved. Please call for a free consultation if you would like to discuss the issues surrounding an injury to a minor. Such an injury can involve any of the matters mentioned on this page. We have represented minors who have been injured in automobile accidents, dog attacks, on the premises of a third party or due to a defective product.
- Product liability: If you or a loved one has been seriously injured due to a defective product, please call and see if we can help. As in every case, it is important to gather as much information about such an accident as soon as possible. The product involved needs to be retained so that it can be examined by experts who can determine if the defects in the product caused the injuries. Pictures and witness statements can be crucial. At our firm, we can investigate such an accident to determine if there is liability on the part of the manufacturer of the product. This often involves having the product examined by an expert.
