Boca Raton Attorneys Balkan & Patterson - Additional Personal Injury Practice Areas
Beyond Auto Accident, Product Liability and Consumer Fraud, and Insurance litigation, attorneys Adam Balkan and John Patterson have also represented clients and achieved successful verdicts and settlements in many different types of cases. To meet the needs of our clients and the evolving legal system, our firm also provides highly skilled legal representation in the areas of Child / Special Needs Abuse, Securities Fraud, Premises Liability, Medical Malpractice, Nursing Home Abuse and Commercial Litigation.
- Child Abuse / Special Needs & Autism Abuse - Child abuse and disabled abuse is often committed by people the child knows, trusts and depends on, such as a relative, teacher, caregiver or a staff person. Perpetrators often choose victims who are vulnerable and unlikely to speak up, or if they do tell, no one will believe them. Abuse and neglect can come in many forms – physical abuse (shaking, slapping, beating, burning), sexual abuse (unconsented sexual acts, touching, fondling), neglect (inadequate or no food, lack of housing, clothing, medical care, or education), emotional or psychological abuse (disparagement, criticism, threat, ridicule, intimidation) and financial exploitation.
- Securities Fraud & Investment Losses Litigation - Our law firm handles securities losses / investment fraud lawsuits dealing with losses of more than $100,000.
- Premises Liability (Slip and Fall cases, Negligent Security) - These types of cases include negligent security, slip and falls and more. Many times business and property owners do not correct dangerous conditions and practices that could have prevented harmful incidents.
- Medical Malpractice - Medical malpractice occurs when health care providers (doctors, nurses, dentists, pharmacists, hospitals, nursing homes) fail to act reasonably, or do something that a reasonable healthcare provider would not do under similar circumstances. Such tragedies may occur as a result of a failure to diagnose or an incorrect diagnosis, a mistake during a procedure, a birth injury or a medication error leaving the patient with permanent and irreversible injuries.
- Nursing Home Abuse - Nursing home negligence and abuse is on the rise. Examples of nursing home negligence or abuse may include: allowing pressure sores to develop, failing to provide proper hygienic care, applying physical restraints unnecessarily, improper medicating of patients, failure to monitor nutrition, and physically or sexually abusing patients. Recent reports show that more than 50 percent of US nursing homes are understaffed and that one-third of nursing home workers have been caught abusing residents. The report also shows that only 20 percent of nursing home abuse is reported.
- Commercial Litigation - The firm’s commercial litigation practice encompasses all aspects of commercial relationships, including disputes involving the Uniform Commercial Code, contracts, business dissolutions, leveraged buyouts and other financial arrangements.
While these practice areas are diverse, they do have several things in common. When someone becomes a victim of these types of situations, they require an attorney with the experience, resources and tenacity to stand up and successfully represent their best interests. The attorneys at the law firm of Balkan & Patterson are zealously committed to helping its clients receive the best possible verdict or settlement.
