Aviation Liability

 A plane or helicopter crash is a catastrophic event, almost always causing a loss of life. When an air disaster occurs, it is not always clear who is to blame for the accident. Many different entities are commonly involved in the flying and maintenance of an aircraft, including the airline carrier, the air traffic controllers, and the aircraft manufacturer. Determining which of these entities is at fault can be a difficult process. To make matters even more complicated, different laws will apply, depending on whether the accident occurred on a commercial or non-commercial flight. The lawyers at Albright, Houtsma & Clark, LLC understand the intricacies that surround this type of litigation. Our dedicated legal team will conduct a thorough investigation to determine what went wrong and who was at fault. We will help you sort through the confusion that inevitably follows an air disaster, and secure for you the answers and compensation to help you move on with your life. We represent individuals who have suffered an injury or death because of an air disaster. We also represent those who have been harmed due to the negligence of an airline crew, and those who have been harmed on the ground due to an air accident.

Construction Site Accidents

Without question, the construction industry is a dangerous field. The typical construction site is filled with hazardous conditions that can cause injury, or even death, to a construction worker or someone near the construction site. Because of the innate danger of this industry, an employer has the responsibility to follow regulations and take precautions to keep these risks as low as possible. Sometimes employers do not follow all of the guidelines, and an injury results because of the employer’s negligence. Other times, an accident occurs even when all precautions are taken. Who should be held responsible? The lawyers at Albright, Houtsma & Clark, LLC will work to find the answers to the many questions that arise in the wake of a construction accident. Our legal team is intimately familiar with construction law. We also know the regulations that govern a construction site, and know how a successful construction site is supposed to be run. We have the experience and skill to conduct a thorough investigation of the site, and determine the cause of the accident and who should be held responsible. Injuries at construction sites can occur in almost any form, including accidents from defective or collapsing scaffolding, accidents due to faulty equipment, and injuries from lifting and repetitive motions. We can help you get compensation for these injuries, as well as any other type of injury you have suffered due to the dangers on the site. We represent individuals who have been injured or killed while working on a construction site. We also represent individuals who are not working on site, but have been injured or killed due to an accident on a construction site.

Discrimination and Sexual Harassment

Every employee has the right to perform his or her job free from discrimination and sexual harassment. Unfortunately, however, far too many people are made to feel uncomfortable or threatened in their workplace. A working environment that fosters discriminatory or harassing behavior can have devastating effects. Not only can this type of behavior interfere with an employee’s ability to do his or her job, but it can also cause an employee to experience feelings of guilt or helplessness. An employer who discriminates or harasses, or allows this to take place, should be held accountable for its actions. Our legal team recognizes that discrimination comes in many forms, including discrimination based on race, religion, gender, national origin, sexual orientation, disability, age, and reverse discrimination. We are prepared to help you stand up for your rights, regardless of the manner in which you have been discriminated against. The lawyers at Albright, Houtsma & Clark, LLC would like to help you if you have been discriminated against or sexually harassed.

Insurance Bad Faith

Unfortunately, insurance companies do not always treat their customers in a respectful, honest manner. These large insurance corporations sometimes intentionally attempt to get out of paying when or what they should pay. When an insurance company behaves this way, they are said to be acting in “bad faith”. These bad faith practices can arise in many forms, including the insurance company’s failing to pay a claim for a covered loss, denying a legitimate claim, underpaying a claim for a covered loss, or unnecessarily delaying payment on a covered loss. Because of the complexity of insurance terminology, principles and provisions, any attorney who attempts to go up against an insurance company needs to be well-versed in the insurance industry practices. The attorneys at Albright, Houtsma & Clark, LLC are extremely familiar with the insurance industry practices, and understand the complexities that surround this type of litigation. We know that complicated provisions of the insurance policy and application will likely be at issue, and we will decipher the fine print for you. We will use our expertise and resolve to face the insurance companies and insist that they are held accountable to you. We represent individuals who may be victims of the practice of insurance bad faith.

Medical Malpractice

The negligence of health care professionals is responsible for thousands of injuries and deaths every year. Though the primary responsibility of health care professionals is to ensure the well-being of their patients, these professionals sometimes harm the very patients who come to them for help. When this occurs, many questions and complexities arise. The attorneys at Albright, Houtsma & Clark, LLC are experienced in medical malpractice cases. We begin by listening closely to your account of the facts, then review medical records and consult with experts who provide guidance throughout the process.

When injury or death results from a motor vehicle accident, it is important to ensure that the injured person or the deceased’s family is compensated for their loss.

Product Liability

Manufacturers have a legal obligation to provide safe products to the public. When a product turns out to be defective, the manufacturer should be held liable for any harm which the defective product causes. Products can be dangerous due to a number of reasons, including defects in design, defects in manufacturing, improper safety devices, or improper testing.

Civil Rights Claims

Every individual has certain civil rights. No public entity has the right to deprive any individual of these civil rights. No one should be retaliated against or denied equal protection of the law for exercising his or her right to freedom of speech, freedom of religion, or freedom of association. Civil rights violations can come in a variety of forms, including: false arrest, excessive use of force, unlawful search and seizure, and other violations of your rights under the First Amendment, the Fourth Amendment, the Fifth Amendment or the 14th Amendment to the United States Constitution.
