Car Accidents / Uber + Lyft
Car accident claims are one of the most common types of personal injury cases to be filed, due to the high number of distracted, inexperienced, reckless, and intoxicated drivers on the road every day. At Stern Legal Group we represent individuals who have sustained injuries from car accidents that were caused by no fault of their own. Our personal injury attorneys are genuinely passionate about helping the individuals we represent, and we have become recognized throughout our community for our professionalism, devotion, and loyalty to our clients.
Our firm operates on a contingency fee basis-if we are unable to help a client recover compensation, they do not owe us anything. This is because we are passionate about protecting the well-being of the clients we represent. When an individual retains our representation, their case is not just passed off to an assistant or paralegal. Rather, they will work directly with our attorneys throughout the entirety of their case, while our team works tirelessly to help them recover the compensation they deserve.
Motorcycle Accidents
When accidents occur between vehicles, the results vary based on multiple factors, including location, speed, and more. When these accidents involve motorcycles, it almost always ends in serious injuries for the motorcycle rider. Unlike passenger vehicles, motorcycles offer very little protection to prevent the rider from serious harm. The only protections they have are helmets and limited body gear, but even then, it may not be enough to prevent catastrophic injuries or even death.
It is important for motorcyclists to know that while they may feel as though they are safe drivers, it is nearly impossible to predict the actions of passenger vehicle drivers. And due to the size differential, any accident between a motorcycle and passenger vehicle can have a much worse impact on the motorcyclist. At Stern Legal Group, our motorcycle accident attorneys are well aware of the situation you are experiencing, and we hope to help you seek justice.
Truck Accidents
Being involved in a commercial truck crash can be perhaps one of the most frightening experiences. Unlike smaller cars, trucks, or motorcycles, massive commercial tractor trailers typically have a wider turning radius, take longer to brake, and are much harder to maneuver. Within moments, truck accidents can leave behind a catastrophic wake of crushed glass, tangled metal, and worse yet, devastating injury.
If you were the victim of a truck accident, then you must speak with a skilled attorney as soon as possible. At Stern Legal Group, we understand the complexities that often accompany truck and 18-wheeler claims, and we can use our knowledge to protect your rights and work to help you secure the maximum compensation for your damages.

OVERTIME AND UNPAID WAGES
