McGowan & Cecil, LLC, practices law in Laurel, Maryland, with the purpose of serving people who have been injured or cannot work because of chronic conditions. Our clients seek our counsel and representation in the following areas:
-
Auto accidents: Preserving evidence is especially important in auto accident cases. Sometimes the key to the question of liability is found in a crashed car. If the car is not examined, valuable information about the causes of a crash may be lost forever.
- Truck accidents: Through a prompt investigation, examination of a truck driver's log may uncover the underlying cause of a truck accident, such as driver fatigue or incomplete truck maintenance.
- Motorcycle accidents: Overcoming prejudices of motorcyclists is often an important part of a motorcycle accident case.
- Boating accidents: Boating under the influence of alcohol, much like drunk driving of cars and trucks, is a common cause of boating accidents.
- Construction and industrial accidents: Besides a workers' compensation claim, an injured construction worker or industrial worker may well have a third-party liability claim as well; for example, an equipment manufacturer or a subcontractor may have been negligent, with resulting hazardous conditions leading to the accidental injury.
- Defective products: McGowan & Cecil, LLC, represents people injured by defective products such as power tools, automotive components and heavy equipment.
- Slip-and-fall accidents: Questions of liability in slip-and-fall accidents can be tricky, but do not assume your case is not viable without having an experienced lawyer evaluate it for you.
- Fire accidents: A burn injury or a smoke inhalation injury caused by a fire or explosion may leave the injured person incapacitated for a long time.
- Medical malpractice: Our law firm does not support frivolous medical malpractice claims, but we zealously pursue those cases where negligence by a doctor or hospital is painfully obvious.
- Nursing home neglect: Was your beloved parent or grandparent dehydrated, malnourished, inexplicably bruised or injured in a fall while in a long-term care setting?
- Catastrophic injuries: A spinal cord injury or a traumatic brain injury alters a lifestyle not only of the injured person but also of the closest family member(s): husband, wife, mother, father, brother, sister, son and/or daughter. Their losses should be taken into account along with those of the injured person.
- Wrongful death: Getting to know family members well and understanding the nature of the loss of the deceased member to the whole family is very important.
- Federal Tort Claims: Military dependents (wife or children of servicemen, for example) who are injured on federal property (including in military hospitals) may bring claims against the United States government under provisions of the Federal Tort Claims Act.
- Social Security Disability: If your injury (or a medical condition) is expected to keep you from working for 12 months, you are likely to be eligible for SSDI benefits. We can advise you and handle an appeal if your claim is denied.
