JAMES F. TIERNEY III: Oftentimes, we get people who’ve been injured by an animal, usually a dog bite, usually children. And sometimes, there’s hesitancy because it could be an uncle’s dog or a close family friend whose dog caused the injury. And it’s important for the family to get impartial advice from an attorney.

DOUGLAS WELEBIR: Dogs have a propensity to bite. And the dogs that bite most frequently are your neighbors’, your family’s, your cousin’s. If you’ve been injured, you do have a right to an attorney. And he can explain to you your right to damages.

JAMES F. TIERNEY III: We have lots of clients who come to speak to us about injuries from products. And a lot of people believe that products pass some government testing. A majority of products do not.

DOUGLAS WELEBIR: People manufacture products that are defective. They use the wrong materials. They design them improperly. If you’ve been injured by a product, you need to talk to a lawyer.

JAMES F. TIERNEY III: A catastrophic injury is one where a person’s injuries are so severe that it completely alters their ability to live a normal life. And that can have dire consequences both to that person physically and emotionally but to their immediate family as well.

DOUGLAS WELEBIR: And in a catastrophic injury, you have to take the long view. It’s not going to change by definition. So how can I ease the future 5 years, 10 years, 20 years from now for my client to make certain that they’re taken care of?
