Legal Representation as Unique as Your Circumstances
When you’ve been the victim of an injury or accident due to someone else’s negligence, you need legal representation that is top-notch. With a proven track record, Traut Firm specializes in accidents and personal injury law. Traut Firm will help you navigate the legal system, understand your options, and work to get the compensation you deserve so you can regain control of your life. When searching for a legal team to represent your unique circumstances, Traut Firm recommends considering the following:
- Interview more than one or two firms. Choosing a personal injury law firm is an important decision. To find a firm that best represents your interests, compare what each firm offers.
- Examine the firm’s expertise, track record, and verdicts awarded.
- Read Reviews. Consider the firm’s reviews, whether they’re Google Reviews, Super Lawyers, or Yelp.com. Please read them carefully to understand the client’s experience. Reviews matter.
- Consider the personality of the office. Ask yourself if you feel comfortable.
- Does the firm offer a free consultation?
- Will the firm work on contingency?
- Is the firm willing to go to court on your behalf?
Driverless Car Injury or Death Attorney
Legal considerations for driverless car injury or death are significant. In such a situation, who is responsible? It could be the self-driving vehicle’s driver, the car’s manufacturer, and the manufacturer of the defective part. In simple terms, causation and driver liability are relatively easy to establish when asking the right questions and investigating all aspects of the accident.
Negligent Transmission of Sexual Diseases
California’s Health and Safety Code120290 makes it a crime to intentionally transmit an STD to another person. Even still, this type of situation can be tricky due to HIPAA laws and other intricate details of the situation. Effective legal representation is a must. In 2023, Eric and Pamela took a case to trial involving negligent transmission of a sexually transmitted disease (HPV). After five days of trial, which included hotly contested expert witness testimony, the jury delivered justice in the form of a $160,000 verdict in favor of their client. No other case of this kind has been taken to trial in California, making this a novel case and great victory.
Uber/Lyft Injury & Assault Attorney
If you are a victim of a sexual assault while ridesharing with UBER or LYFT, know that you are not alone. Despite the many systems rideshare services have put in place, assaults do happen. Legal representation is essential to help the victim reclaim what has been lost.
Brain Injury Attorney
An incident that causes an injury to the brain requires understanding and attention. Every year, Eric handles several brain injury cases resulting from an accident, an assault, a work-related incident, or someone else’s negligence. As expected, the range of damage incurred can be emotional, physical, and psychological. In each case, Eric consults with renowned medical and psychological experts to identify the specific area of the brain affected. This strategy aids in the client receiving necessary care and ultimately maximizes compensation. Eric understands how injuries can dramatically affect the victim’s life and the lives of close family and friends. Traut Firm clients receive top-notch representation needed to prosecute these complex cases.
Food Injury Attorney
A food injury case can be equated to any case involving a faulty product that causes harm. From food poisoning and other contamination, this type of injury is on the rise. The damages awarded from a food injury may vary due to the extent of the victim’s suffering and the circumstances involved. Eric has represented numerous cases against restaurants and food manufacturers for injuries and emotional distress resulting from dangerous or disturbing objects in food. Through a detailed investigation on behalf of the defendant, Traut Firm will work toward holding the correct party responsible.
