Working and living near the water has its benefits, but it also has its drawbacks — after all, injuries and accidents can happen on land or water. At the North Shore LA law firm of Scott Vicknair, LLC, we understand that no matter how prepared you might be, the unexpected still happens. That is why we have lawyers that specialize in injury cases that involve offshore injuries, brain injuries, and even wrongful deaths. Our personal injury lawyers and maritime lawyers understand that a case is always stressful regardless of if it happens on land or while on the water. That is why they have put together a list of their top three favorite places to visit around town where they go to destress from a case. Check out their favorites, and then contact a lawyer at Scott Vicknair, LLC today for help.
Our Services
We offer coverage for both land and water accidents with personal injury lawyers and maritime lawyers. Our attorneys cover many different types of cases and have worked on offshore injury cases, brain injury cases, and wrongful death cases. Offshore injuries, brain injuries, and wrongful death injuries can all happen on land or off. Depending on your case, we have an attorney that has experience in that area and can help!
Brain injuries on land can consist of slip and fall accidents, car accidents, pedestrian accidents, and more. Brain injuries offshore can be caused by boating accidents or even faulty equipment. Wrongful deaths on land are often due to medical malpractice or distracted driving. Wrongful deaths on the water can be due to poorly maintained swimming areas or missing caution signs for dangerous spots. The common thread of all injury cases is not where they happen but how: injury cases are caused due to the negligence of someone else. Whether your injuries are offshore or on, contact Scott Vicknair, LLC for help. In the meantime, check out our favorite places to relax and take a break from your case at:
