A jury verdict does more than compensate a single injured person — it sets a standard for what the community will tolerate. Evan explains how jury trials keep negligent actors accountable.

Construction accidents: falls from heights, ladders and scaffold safety

Medical malpractice, negligence, & misdiagnosis

Medical malpractice is more than a bad outcome — it’s a departure from the accepted standard of care. Evan explains what has to be proven, how misdiagnosis cases work, and why expert testimony is essential.

Negligent nursing homes, patient accidents, elder abuse and mandatory arbitration

Construction accidents: undocumented immigrants have full legal rights

Hispanic & African-American workers face higher risk on unsafe worksites
