Any criminal arrest or investigation can have lasting and serious affects on a person's life, family and financial status. It is our mission to lead you or a friend or family member through the criminal justice process, to investigate and learn all of the relevant facts, to keep clients informed of their rights and potential options and to make the process as unburdensome as possible.

PERSONAL INJURY

When you have been involved in an injury accident, it can affect your life physically, mentally, personally and professionally. With that kind of immediate and negative change in your life, you are in no position to deal with an insurance company who is acting quickly to protect their bottom line. At Shorstein & Lasnetski, we focus on cases involving crashes caused by tractor trailer, semi and 18 wheelers, as they are often called, as well as accidents involving automobiles. After an accident involving injuries, there are immediate steps that must be taken so that all of the causes of the accident can be fully investigated. This is particularly true for tractor trailer accidents as there are many regulations and requirements that truck drivers and truck companies must follow to ensure they are driving safely. If you have been involved in such an accident, it is important to contact a lawyer with particularized knowledge of the rules these drivers must follow and the ways to determine whether or not truck drivers and companies are in compliance with these rules. We invite you to visit our truck accident blog which provides information on all aspects of tractor trailer accidents and the trucking industry.
