![]() | Personal Injury WE WILL FIGHT FOR YOUR RIGHTS A personal injury can be a devastating experience - physically, emotionally and financially. At the law firm of McLean & McLean, we understand that you require swift justice in order to secure the compensation you are entitled to when you are injured through the negligent acts of another party. We fight for the rights of injured people. Our fee is contingent in personal injury cases. This means that our fee is a percentage of the compensation we obtain for you in regard to your injury. If there is no recovery, there is no fee. The contingent fee system enables injured individuals and families to obtain an experienced personal injury lawyer without the added financial burden of paying an hourly attorney fee. As your legal representatives, we will be an aggressive advocate on your behalf and will do everything we can to make your experience with the legal process as free from emotional and personal frustration as possible. We care about our clients and work hard to get you the compensation you are due. At McLean & McLean, we handle most types of personal injury accident claims, including: Automobile Accidents– If you travel regularly by car, there is a very high probability that you will be involved in a motor vehicle accident during your lifetime. Generally, people who operate automobiles must exercise reasonable care, and failure to use reasonable care is considered negligence. A person who negligently operates a vehicle may be required to pay for any damages, either to a person or property, caused by his or her negligence. McLean and McLean represents individuals and their families who have been seriously injured or killed as a result of the negligence, carelessness or recklessness of others. Motor vehicle accident cases can be difficult because the insurance company of the at-fault party fights to limit their exposure or liability. We will ensure that you receive fair compensation from the insurance company or at-fault party by aggressively pursuing your interests. Contact us today for a free initial consultation. Medical Malpractice– Though the majority of health care providers do good work, medical mistakes are sometimes made which could adversely affect a person, as well as their friends and family, for the rest of their lives. A medical malpractice case involves injuries arising from the care or treatment rendered by a medical provider. Medical providers include physicians, nurses, hospitals, psychologists, x-ray technicians and a variety of other medical professionals. There are many different kinds of medical malpractice, but some examples are: dispensing the wrong medicine or the wrong dose of medicine; improper reading of x-rays; transfusion errors; the misdiagnosis of a life-threatening condition; surgery on the wrong limb; accidents during surgery; infections related to treatment; birth trauma; preventable suicide; restraint-related injuries; burns, falls and pressure ulcers. If you believe you've been the victim of a medical mistake, contact McLean and McLean to evaluate and handle your case as quickly as possible. There are complicated and stringent statutes of limitations for medical malpractice cases which limit the amount of time an injured individual has to file a lawsuit. F.E.L.A.– The Federal Employers Liability Act (FELA) was passed by Congress in 1908 in order to provide compensation for railroad employees injured on the job. The FELA gives you the right to recover damages for any past lost wages, future lost wages, pain, suffering, scarring, and mental anguish you suffer as a result of your on-the-job injuries. Your right to recovery and compensation for your injuries is different from workers' compensation laws, which generally cover all other injured employees. McLean and McLean is highly experienced in helping insured railroad employees obtain compensation under FELA. We can assist you to determine if your claim falls under FELA. If you or a loved one has been injured on the railroad contact us for a free consultation. Social Security Disability– Social Security Disability is insurance you have paid for during your working years. If you become disabled, Social Security Disability Insurance provides income until your condition improves, and guarantees income if your condition does not improve. To receive Social Security Disability benefits, you must have physical or mental health problems, or a combination of both, that prevent you from working on a regular basis. Since the law states that your employment must be regular, you may still be eligible for benefits even if you are able to work part-time. McLean and McLean will provide the knowledge and legal expertise to make the Social Security Disability process less confusing, less intimidating, and more convenient for people with disabilities. Contact us to see how we can assist you with your claim. Slip and Fall / Premises Liability– Too often, property owners neglect the condition of their property which creates a dangerous condition. When you are injured due to a property owner allowing ice and snow to accumulate on walkways or a grocery store neglecting to clean up a slippery spill in an aisle, you may be able to recover for your injuries. If you have been injured due to a slip and fall accident, we have the knowledge and skill to protect your legal rights. Contact McLean and McLean for a free initial consultation. Defective Products– We have years of experience and an excellent track record of representing individuals who have been injured as a result of an unsafe product that was designed, manufactured, sold, or furnished by a person or company. We assist those injured individuals in bringing their claims and being fairly compensated for their injuries. If you believe you have been injured due to an unsafe product, contact the experienced attorneys at McLean and McLean for a free initial consultation. Work Place Injuries (Workers’ Compensation)– Workers' Compensation is a benefit that is available to nearly all employees who suffer an injury that arose in the course of their employment. Workers’ Compensation laws are designed to provide injured or disabled employees, or in some cases their dependents, compensation for their injuries and medical expenses. McLean and McLean has experience representing injured and disabled workers. We have assisted injured employees and their families recover money and other compensation such as loss wages and medical expenses for their work related injuries.
