Experienced firm for brain injury and defective tires in Salt Lake City

Attorney Robert B. Sykes and his associates have a wealth of experience advocating for clients suffering from brain, spinal cord, and head injuries in Salt Lake City.  These life-altering injuries may be the result of the negligence or action of another, and we fight for victims to secure the compensation they deserve and the resources they will require.
 
Many head, spinal cord, and traumatic brain injuries in Salt Lake City are the result of motor vehicle accidents, and our firm additionally has extensive experience litigating cases due to defective tires in Salt Lake City. 

Specifically, the attorneys at Robert B. Sykes & Associates, P.C. focus on cases involving any of the following:

• Head injury: A head injury may be as simple as a bump on the head, or it may involve a more complex traumatic brain injury. The damage may be mild or severe, or may appear simple but become more dangerous with time.

• Traumatic brain injury: Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) catastrophically changes the lives of individuals and families every year.  Such injuries are complex, not always immediately apparent, and can be profoundly disabling.  As a brain injury law firm in Salt Lake City, we have helped victims struggling with the devastating effects of traumatic brain injuries.

• Defective tires: In Salt Lake City, tire failures can happen without warning.  You could be riding along and your tire blows out.  A blowout happens when the tire tread comes apart.  The sound you hear is the slapping of the tread on the wheelbase. Deadly accidents can result.

• Tire failure: Tire failures can be caused by underinflation, overinflation, overloading, and tire defects. Whatever the cause, though, the results can be a terrible accident and devastating injuries.

• Tire blowout: A tire blowout in Salt Lake City can happen at any time, whether on a major interstate like I-15 or on any of the roads in and around the Salt Lake City area.  Blowouts happen when the tire tread separates, caused by a rapid decrease in the tire's pressure.  This kind of situation often leads to loss of control and subsequent vehicle rollover.

• Medical malpractice: Medical malpractice is an act or omission by a health care provider or institution that deviates from the accepted standards of practice in the medical community and results in injury or even death. If you or a loved one is the victim of medical malpractice, you need a skilled attorney to fight for the compensation you deserve.
• Brain & Spinal Cord Injuries: Every fifteen seconds a traumatic brain injury occurs in the United States.  Brain injuries are the leading cause of death in men under the age of 35.  Brain injuries cause serious disruptions in an individual's lifestyle, including an individual's ability to work or function independently.
• Dangerous Defective Products: Injuries caused by dangerous/defective products can be devastating. Any product can be potentially dangerous or defective.
• Misdiagnosis & Surgical Errors: Have you or a loved one suffered loss, harm, pain and suffering, or untimely death as a result of misdiagnosis, surgical errors, or other medical mistakes?  We can help.
• Motor Vehicle Accidents: Motor vehicle accidents, including accidents involving cars, motorcycles, trucks and buses, are the most common cause of serious injury in the United States, resulting in hundreds of thousands of injuries and deaths.
• Police Brutality & Misconduct: The lawyers at Robert B. Sykes & Associates, P.C. are committed to protecting the civil rights of all citizens in the state of Utah.  Our attorneys understand that protecting the individual freedoms of a single victim helps to ensure the freedoms of all.
• Wrongful Death: Utah's State Constitution specifically allows the heirs of someone who has died as a result of the negligence or wrongdoing of another person, corporation or government entity to bring a wrongful death claim.
