Representing Personal Injury Victims
From our offices in Hattiesburg and Brookhaven, the Burghard Law Firm represents people throughout Southern Mississippi and the Mississippi Gulf Coast who have been injured by the careless or negligent actions of another person.
Attorney Ivan Burghard handles all personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis. This means that you will not be expected to pay any fees up front. Our fees, if we are successful, will be a percentage of the recovery we obtain for you.
For more information about a particular type of personal injury case, click on one of the links below:
- Car accidents: If you've been injured in a car accident, notify your insurance company and contact a lawyer as soon as possible. Don't speak directly to the insurance adjustor of the other driver — anything you say to them may be used against you later.
- Trucking accidents: The trucking industry is governed by strict safety regulations. However, when these rules are not followed, tragic accidents can occur.
- Wrongful death: While nothing can replace your family member, a wrongful death lawsuit can at least compensate your family for the financial losses you have suffered.
- Medical malpractice: In Mississippi, a doctor is judged legally by whether or not he or she failed to exercise a degree of care and skill deemed appropriate for a physician in our state and in that same situation.
- Offshore injuries and maritime law: Maritime law is very complex and it usually takes an experienced attorney to help you obtain the full compensation you deserve.
- Products liability and prescription drug injuries: Thousands of people are injured or killed each year by products that are either defective or have inherent dangers that we were not warned of until it was too late.
- Nursing home neglect and abuse: Bed sores, fractures, malnutrition and dehydration are all signs of nursing home neglect or even abuse. If you think your parent or loved one has not received proper care in a nursing home, contact us for a free initial consultation.
