Our Pittsburgh, PA lawyers represent people and their families who have been seriously injured or killed in accidents in Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio, & Massachusetts.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Based in Pittsburgh, we represent people, and their families, in Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio, and Massachusetts who have been seriously injured or killed in all types of accidents. We have represented people who have suffered serious injuries in car and truck accidents, motorcycle accidents<\/a>, coal mining accidents, truck wrecks, gas well explosions<\/a>, gas well fires, gas pipeline construction projects, boating accidents, ATV accidents and more. We also represent families who have lost loved ones in the same types of accidents in wrongful death cases.<\/p>\n

Product Liability Lawsuits<\/h4>\n

We represent people seriously injured or killed by defective products and equipment, what lawyers refer to as “product liability” or “strict liability” lawsuits.\u00a0 Sometimes the cause of an injury or death is a defective product.\u00a0 We are experienced in researching the product and working with appropriate experts to investigate the product’s background.<\/p>\n

G&O attorney Rich Ogrodowski is particularly interested in investigating personal injury and death claims involving the failure of fall protection equipment, including lanyards, harnesses, and rebar snap hooks, also known as pelican snap hooks.<\/p>\n

Construction Zone Accidents<\/h4>\n

If you or a loved one has been seriously injured or killed in a car or truck accident in a roadway or highway construction zone, you may have a claim against the state or local government which awarded the contract, as well as against the contractor performing the work.\u00a0 For instance, the construction zone may have had a dangerous and defective traffic control plan.\u00a0 Feel free to call us to go over the facts of your accident.<\/p>\n

Dram Shop\/Bar\/Liquor Liability Cases – Lawyers When Serious Injury or Death is Caused by a Drunk Driver<\/h4>\n

The Pennsylvania Dram Shop Act makes it illegal for a “dram shop,” meaning a bar, restaurant, or other business licensed by the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board (PLCB) to serve alcohol, to anyone who is “visibly intoxicated.”\u00a0 If you or a loved one have been seriously injured or killed because a drunk driver was over-served alcohol, you may be able to recover money damages not only from the drunk driver, but also from the bar, restaurant, or social club where the drunk driver was over-served.\u00a0 We are familiar with Pennsylvania’s “RAMP” program (Responsible Alcohol Management Program).\u00a0 In 2016, Pennsylvania’s Liquor Code was amended to require that anyone hired on or after Aug. 8, 2016, who serves or sells alcoholic beverages and\/or checks IDs \u2013 including bartenders, waiters, beer distributor sales persons, bouncers, doorpersons, etc. \u2013 to complete RAMP server\/seller training within six months of being hired by a licensee, unless the person successfully completed RAMP server\/seller training prior to being hired.<\/p>\n

Contingent Fee Representation: No Recovery, No Fee<\/h4>\n

We handle personal injury and wrongful death cases on a contingent fee basis.\u00a0 We also advance the costs for the lawsuit, including the fees of experts and consultants. This means a client will not owe us a fee unless and until there is a settlement or judgment in the client’s favor.\u00a0 When\/if such occurs, the client would then owe us the agreed-to fee and any case expenses (such as court reporter charges, medical records fees, expert witness fees, etc.).<\/p>\n

Know How to Win<\/h4>\n

We know that hard work wins cases and details matter when it comes to investigating and preparing a personal injury or wrongful death case for trial.\u00a0 We are known for our thorough research into the facts and the law of the cases we take on, and the compassion we have for our clients and their families.<\/p>\n

Having been deeply involved in serious personal injury and wrongful death litigation for collectively more than 45 years, we understand the medical issues surrounding the serious injuries that can occur in accidents, falls, crashes, and explosions, particularly orthopedic and neurological injuries. We also know how devastating, both economically and emotionally, it can be to lose one’s ability to earn a living, or for a family to lose a loved one.<\/p>\n
