A few years ago I was shopping in a large chain store when I slipped in some linseed oil that had been spilled on the floor. I ended up seriously injuring my right shoulder and I eventually needed surgery...

My husband and I were in a serious car accident in which the other driver crossed into our lane and hit us head on. My husband broke his back and I hurt my shoulder so bad that I needed surgery. The first lawyer we hired told us our case was only worth a small amount of money...

I came from my home in the United Kingdom to work at a children’s summer camp in northern New Hampshire. Not long after I arrived, I was bitten in the face by a large Akita dog.

Several years ago I was rear-ended while driving and suffered a back injury. The back injury got worse and worse and eventually I was unable to continue working as a landscape architect. Needless to say I was very concerned about my future...

- Rick Kelley
As painful as my injuries and rehabilitation were, I truly did not consider them to be part of the nightmare, because they were, after all, accidents. The actual nightmares were delivered through the callous indifference of insurance companies and the sheer insanity of the Workers Compensation system.

Answers to Your Injury Questions

Q: My child was bitten by a neighbor's dog and the neighbor refuses to pay the medical bills. What should I do?

A: It is often difficult for people to accept the fact that their beloved pet has done something horrible. Dogs, as well as many other domesticated animals, have become such an every day part of our culture and lives that they are frequently considered a part of the family. However, this does not remove any blame or liability from the owner of the animal. The simple fact of the matter is that pet owners have a responsibility for their pets and what their pets do. Every year in the U.S. there are over 4.5 million dog bites reported. Someone must take responsibility for this! The Law Offices of Van Dorn & Curtiss will take your case to court and win. If you or a loved one have been injured as the result of a dog bite, contact our office now for a free consultation of your claim at 1-866-632-8980.
