Personal Injury and Wrongful Death Litigation

At Rickerson & Kruger we represent individuals and their families who have been seriously injured or killed as a result of the negligence, carelessness or recklessness of others. Plaintiff personal injury and wrongful death cases can be difficult. We understand how insurance companies and lawyers on the other side think: we used to be those lawyers. Insurance companies want to limit their exposure or liability when a serious injury or death occurs. Insurance companies hire lawyers to aggressively undermine each aspect of the plaintiff's claim. Through experience, we have become all too familiar with their tactics in order to protect the rights, health and safety of our clients. Our firm handles all types of serious and catastrophic personal injury and wrongful death cases, including:

• Joint, Spinal Cord and Back Injuries
• Wrongful Death Claims
• Fractures and Dislocations
• Brain Damage, Burns and Amputations
• Other Severe, Permanent and Crippling Injuries

We have successfully represented individuals and their families with claims caused by the negligence, carelessness and recklessness of others in situations such as:

• Automobile, Motorcycle and Bicycle Accidents
• Trucking Accidents
• Pedestrian Accidents
• Uninsured and Underinsured Motorist Cases
• Dangerous and Defective Products
• Industrial and Construction Accidents
• Other Wrongful or Negligent Conduct

Personal injuries not only cause physical pain but often emotional and financial hardship through loss of work, medical bills and stress placed upon families and loved ones. We often take our physical and mental well being for granted-until something goes wrong. When an accident happens, lives are forever changed. Simple pleasures become chores. Daily routines are disrupted. Economic losses are often devastating. Whether caused by an automobile accident, a defective product or other negligent, careless or reckless conduct, injuries alter lives forever. Our firm takes responsibility for effective, aggressive investigation and representation, allowing our injured clients to attend to health, family and economic issues while pursuing a variety of legal means to obtain the highest possible financial recovery. We also never overlook the intrinsic value of peace of mind and always factor that into our cases.

At Rickerson & Kruger, our team of lawyers, case managers and investigators effectively works to level the playing field with the vast resources of insurance companies by putting our experience and proven techniques to work, including early investigation, careful review of medical records, assisting and directing clients to appropriate, supporting medical providers, and thoroughly evaluating economic and emotional losses.
