What Kind of Cases Does Our Hagerstown Personal Injury Lawyer Handle?

We have also represented a number of people who have been injured from a fall due to a slip or trip, usually with these falls occurring at a nursing home or at a store where an area has been left in an unsafe or hazardous condition. Though these cases make up the majority of our practice, we have handled many other personal injury cases involving all sorts of matters.
