Contact us to schedule a free initial consultation with a personal injury lawyer or a workers' compensation attorney. We handle cases in the following practice areas:

Personal injury: The sooner an attorney has the opportunity to evaluate your case, the more likely it is that valuable evidence will be preserved. Detailed information on the causes and circumstances of a crash or workplace accident may be your surest route to obtaining maximum available compensation.
Auto accidents: The time period immediately after an accident is usually the most crucial to establishing and preparing your claim for compensation. The sooner you consult an experienced attorney, the better your chances are of a fair recovery.
Wrongful death: In addition to conducting a thorough investigation into the facts and circumstances of the alleged wrongful death, we will work diligently to uncover all known sources of compensation when we handle a fatal accident case.
Defective product cases: Were your injuries in an auto or truck accident caused by a defective product, such as brakes, airbags, or seatbelts? Or have you been hurt because of faulty products or devices used in everyday life? Contact an attorney to schedule a consultation regarding a potential product liability claim.
Employment discrimination / wrongful discharge: Did your employer or potential employer refuse to hire you, refuse to promote you, lay you off, or hire other applicants in your place (although you are equally or more qualified for the job) because of your age, disability, race, religion, or pregnancy? You might have a claim against your employer.
Nursing home negligence: Often, our clients report that loved ones often are injured in unexplained falls in nursing homes. Nursing home employees are supposed to protect residents when they are getting in and out of bed, chairs, and wheel chairs.
Medical negligence: We know that mistakes happen. Whether a doctor or hospital was blatantly negligent, or a surgical error was just an honest mistake, victims who have suffered serious injury or loss may be entitled to compensation.
Workers' Compensation: We handle all aspects of workers' compensation claims. We help our clients get weekly workers’ compensation benefits while they are disabled, and assist them in obtaining necessary medical treatment, when adequate treatment is denied. When they have finished treatment, we help them get a reasonable settlement for their injuries.
Social Security Disability: Little, Schellhammer & Richardson Law Offices, P.C., handles all aspects of SSDI cases including the application for benefits, development of evidence in support of the claim, presentation of evidence before judges at administrative hearings, and appeals beyond the Social Security Administration, to federal district court.
