Automobile accidents account for most personal injuries incurred by individuals in the United States and across the world. If the person involved in a collision refuses to stop and exchange insurance, identification information, or summon the police, it is referred to as a hit-and-run accident and constitutes a criminal offense. The offender may face both criminal and civil liability, with penalties ranging from fines, jail time, and the payment of damages. 

Even an automobile accident can lead to a lawsuit involving multiple parties and multiple theories of liability. Attorney John S. Kalil has the experience required to protect your rights. Mr. Kalil will help secure the evidence and expert testimony you need to prove your case and ensure that all potential defendants are brought into the matter.

Medical negligence or malpractice occurs when a medical practitioner or health care provider fails to exercise the degree of care expected of a person of ordinary prudence in protecting a patient from the risk of harm. A plaintiff must establish, by a preponderance of the evidence, that the defendant had a duty to the patient, that such duty was breached by failing to conform to the required standard of conduct and that the negligent conduct caused harm to the patient. 

Expert witnesses must be obtained to establish the wrongfulness of a medical practitioner's negligence. In addition, the recent push to reform tort litigation has resulted in several procedural hurdles and damage caps in malpractice cases. 

If you have been the victim of medical negligence, you need Attorney John S. Kalil to enforce your rights and aggressively pursue compensation from the wrongdoers. Mr. Kalil employs a team of experts, such as registered nurses, paralegals, investigators, and various medical expert witnesses, to thoroughly establish your case and obtain the maximum amount of compensation to assist you.

A premises liability action arises when a person suffers an injury that was caused by the improper design, construction, or maintenance of real property. Such injury gives rise to a claim against the possessor or owner of the premises. 

A premises liability plaintiff may be an invitee, licensee, or trespasser. Typically, a plaintiff is required to prove that reasonable care was not taken by the landowner or possessor, or that necessary precautions or warnings were not displayed. 

A plaintiff must also establish that the landowner or possessor had knowledge of the defect, that the defendant breached the duty of care to remedy the problem, and that it led to the plaintiff's injury. 

First, seek medical attention if you have been injured on someone else's property. Your next step is to promptly contact the Law Offices of John S. Kalil to protect your rights and to help you obtain compensation for your injuries.

Product liability becomes an issue when a person is injured due to the sale or manufacture of a defective good. The seller and/or manufacturer may become liable if they misrepresented the good or product, negligently manufactured or sold the product, caused a breach of warranty, or failed to warn of a known danger. 

Product liability claims fall into three main categories: design defects, manufacturing defects, and failure to warn cases. Products causing injury can include household appliances, automobiles, industrial equipment, and airplanes. Liability can arise from a product's formula, preparation, assembly, installation, testing, warning instructions, marketing, packaging, or labeling.
