Wrongful Death & Catastrophic Injury
Injuries that are considered catastrophic, due to the enormous impact they have on the lives of the individuals who experience them, include brain injury, spinal cord injury, accidental amputation, or other severe breaks, burns, and disorders.
Whether you are coping with a debilitating injury, such as a spinal cord injury, or are overcoming the sudden loss of a loved one following a fatal accident, our law firm will assemble the necessary resources and team members. We work with experts to evaluate long-term projections about the impact the injury or wrongful death will have on you and your family.
We fight hard to obtain the maximum compensation that you need and deserve for medical expenses, necessary modifications to your home, lost wages, funeral expenses, pain and suffering, and other damages.
Product Liability
Automotive defects can and do cause serious collisions, leading to catastrophic injury and death. Many otherwise survivable crashes result in severe injury or death due to safety system failures. A vehicle's occupant protection package includes things such as the seatbelts, airbags, side curtain airbags, rollover sensors, seatbelt pretensioners, electronic steering control systems, and many more developments. Properly designed and manufactured vehicles help drivers avoid collisions, and properly designed and implemented vehicle safety systems protect occupants from severe or fatal injuries in foreseeable crashes. Many deaths can be avoided when companies act responsibly in implementing safe products. Unfortunately, not all companies act responsibly.
Our team has handled cases involving:
- Defective Tires
- Rollovers
- Seat Belt Failures
- Airbag Failures
- Tire Blowouts / Aged Tires
- Defective Child Seats and Infant Carriers

Brain Injuries
Aircraft Crash Accident
It is the duty of the aircraft and its operator to deliver passengers safely to their destination. In most instances, when an air crash occurs, the incident was preventable. Aviation disasters can raise complex issues involving multiple parties and complex questions regarding what happened and who is legally responsible.
Air crash investigations always involve state and federal officials and investigators, and also involve the aircraft and aircraft component manufacturers, as well as airline representatives. Without the assistance of competent legal counsel, victims and their families do not have a voice or advocate for their rights in these critical early stages of the investigation, and before state or federal authorities reach final conclusions about the root cause of a crash. The lawyers of the Law Offices of Michael M. Guerra stand ready to assist you in this difficult process and the prosecution of your claims against those who are responsible.
