Our Practice Areas

We provide a broad civil practice, in which we advise and represent clients in cases involving:

• Personal Injury: If you are suffering from an accident injury or if a loved one has died in an accident caused by someone else's negligence, you need someone you can trust to talk to the insurance company or lawyers representing the person or entity responsible for the accident. The personal injury attorneys at The Lakin Law Firm have the experience and aggressive determination you need on your side.
• Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect: Neglect, mistreatment, exploitation, or harming of elderly patients in nursing homes, assisted living facilities, or home care environments which lead to injuries. 
• Railroad Injuries (FELA Claims): The Federal Employers Liability Act was passed by Congress in 1908, for the purpose of providing compensation to railroad employees who are injured on the job.
• Maritime and Jones Act Claims: Injuries resulting from the negligence of their employers or co-workers during the course of their employment on a water vessel. 
• Workers' Compensation: A state-mandated form of insurance covering workers injured in job-related accidents. 
• Asbestos: A strong and incombustible fiber widely used in the past for fireproofing and insulation. The small, buoyant fibers are easily inhaled or swallowed, causing a number of serious diseases including: asbestosis, a chronic disease of the lungs that makes breathing more and more difficult; cancer; and Mesothelioma, a cancer (specific to asbestos exposure) of the membranes that line the chest and abdomen.
• Securities Litigation: Monitor portfolio of securities holdings to identify losses.
• Class Action Litigation: The rights of and remedies for large numbers of people whose cases involve similar complaints. 
• Civil Appeals: A process designed to allow a higher court to review the decision of a lower court.

We recruit and retain personal injury attorneys with experience in a wide range of areas, so we can provide a comprehensive injury practice. We represent clients suffering from minor and serious injuries, catastrophic injuries, financial injuries, and clients who have lost loved ones in accidents. When you are injured because of someone else's negligence or recklessness, you have the right to seek financial compensation. You should never have to beg an insurance company for money. Our lawyers aggressively negotiate with the insurance companies and vigorously litigate your claim to see that you are treated fairly and compensated justly, regardless of the nature or severity of your injury.
