Practice Areas

Motorcyclists are highly susceptible to serious injuries when accidents happen. In fact, even when crashes occur at slower speeds, the outcomes can be devastating for riders who lack the safety protections, like seatbelts and airbags, that are present in other motor vehicles.

Like car crashes, motorcycle wrecks are often the result of preventable negligence. At Mayo Law, our lawyers are skilled at investigating these crashes and:

• Figuring out the nature of the negligence involved, as well as the liable parties
• Crafting strong claims and protecting our clients’ rights as claims proceed
• Guiding injured riders through the recovery process.

While cruises can be fun and exciting, they may not be as safe as travelers expect. In fact, any number of oversights, like crew errors, a lack of security and failures to properly maintain cruise ships, can cause serious accidents and injuries.

When travelers are hurt aboard cruise ships:

• There may be specific rules, deadlines or venues that apply to their claims.
• They can get answers about how to move forward with a claim – and about who’s liable – by contacting Mayo Law for a free case assessment.

Slip and falls can happen nearly anywhere, and they can be caused by any number of factors. In many cases, however, the negligent actions of some party, like the person who owns, operates or manages a property, can be to blame. Such negligence can include:

• Failing to clean up spilled liquids, ice or snow from floors
• Failing to warn visitors about slippery floors
• Failing to install or maintain stair railings.

When you need help determining who may be liable for your slip and fall, you can count on Mayo Law for the answers, guidance and advocacy necessary to help you recover.

Construction zones are typically risky places, where heavy industrial equipment is regularly moving around in the course of completing a project. The dangers associated with construction zones can increase when, for instance:

• Work zones are not properly coned or gated off.
• Inexperienced, untrained crew members are working at the zone.
• The proper detour signs and/or nighttime lighting has not been set up.
• Spills are not contained.

Whenever accidents occur at or around road work zones, the sooner victims contact Mayo Law, the better. These complicated cases can come with short, strict deadlines, and taking quick action to file a claim can be pivotal to protecting your rights to recovery after a highway work zone accident occurs.

Dog owners are legally required to keep their dogs properly contained in order to prevent their dogs from biting or attacking others. Despite this, however, some owners may be careless, failing to:

• Leash or muzzle their dogs
• Watch their dogs in public
• Keep their dogs properly contained in crates, fenced yards, etc.

When people fail to live up to their legal responsibilities as dog owners – and when these failures lead to dog bites and attacks, Mayo Law will be ready to step up on behalf of victims, helping them hold negligent owners liable for the harm their dogs have caused.

Commonly the sites of slip and falls, swimming pools can also be the scenes of various other accidents, like (but not limited to):

• Circulation entrapments, which involves hair and/or body parts becoming entangled in pool components (like drains and pumps)
• Drownings, which may be caused by a lack of lifeguard supervision, a lack of covering for the pool and/or the absence of a gate surrounding the pool.

Determining the parties who are liable for swimming pool accidents can require thorough investigations of pool maintenance records, on-site policies and eye witnesses. It can also require the representation of a lawyer at Mayo Law.
