Automobile Accidents
Every day in the United States there are thousands of automobile accidents. These accidents range from minor fender benders to the total destruction of a vehicle. Drivers and passengers can sometimes sustain horrific injuries. The laws are very specific to these cases and often favor the insurance carriers and even the party who may be at fault. At the Chiera Law Group, we understand the laws pertaining to these accidents and will zealously represent you in your claim for the injuries you have sustained. Insurance companies will often try to get a statement from a person in an accident, before they have an attorney, and the statements given by the injured person may significantly impact their case. Insurance carriers know, as they often have been advised by their lawyers, how to deal with the unrepresented person and have them at a disadvantage. Let us level the playing field by contacting us soon after your accident so that we may represent you and fight these insurance companies and their attorneys.
​Tractor-Trailer Accidents
Some of the most significant injuries occur in cases where a tractor-trailer is involved in the accident. There are many issues that are different than those which apply to a less complex automobile accident such as issues concern the rules and regulations that truck drivers must follow, the amount of rest and sleep they must have, log books and other records that must be obtained, the relationship between the trucking company and owner/ operator and many other concerns that an attorney not familiar with these accidents may not understand. The Chiera Law Group has handled cases where tractor trailers were involved and is ready to assist you. Be advised that many trucking companies have teams ready to be dispatched to an accident scene to gather important early evidence. Therefore, the sooner you contact the Chiera Law Group the better chance we will have of gathering evidence and information which could be critical to your case. Contact the Chiera Law Group now so we get to work on your tractor-trailer accident case now.

Pedestrian Accident
You often read about a driver who lost control of their vehicle and struck and killed a pedestrian who was walking on the sidewalk. Careless drivers who allow themselves to be distracted by cell phone texting or are operating their vehicle negligently have made not only the roadways, but our sidewalks unsafe and dangerous. At the Chiera Law Group, we know that the issues pertaining to a pedestrian accident may be different than a standard automobile accident where two cars are involved. Should you or someone you know be the victim of a pedestrian accident where the driver is known, or even a hit and run accident where the driver did not stay at the scene, call the Chiera Law Group. We are here to help with the no-fault portion of your claim which may pay for your medical bills and to obtain for you full and fair compensation for your injuries.
Motorcycle Accidents
Riding a motorcycle is a great feeling as you navigate the open roads with the fresh air and feelings that one has when riding a bike. However it can also be dangerous. Should you be struck by a car or truck, or be involved in an accident on your motorcycle, be aware that the laws are different than the laws that apply to a car accident. You need attorneys to help you early on to assist in determining how medical bills might be paid, and to bring your claim in the most effective way so that your interests are protected. At the Chiera Law Group, we can represent you and guide you through this process. Call us should you be injured in a motorcycle accident so that we can help you.

Train or Subway Accidents
Safety often depends on the proper operation of the trains and subways.

When operated or maintained improperly, catastrophic accidents can occur causing serious injury or death to passengers riding on these trains and subways. Whether the operator used excessive speed around a curve or when approaching a station, failed to apply brakes timely, was inattentive or distracted, or was otherwise negligent, injuries to the passengers who entrusted their safety to these train and subway operators can occur. Here at the Chiera Law Group, we will work hard to hold those at fault accountable for these acts of negligence and provide the legal support required to protect your rights. Let the Chiera Law Group use their legal skills to assist you or your loved one who may have been injured or lost their life in a train or subway accident and provide you with the guidance you need, and the representation you deserve.
Personal Injury Law

Trip and Fall/Slip and Fall Accidents
Trip or Slip and Fall accidents have legal requirements that must be met in order to maintain an action to recover damages for the injuries caused. Whether you have fallen on a raised or cracked sidewalk, a substance on the ground, a defective or slippery staircase or hallway, certain areas of proof must be established in order for the injured person to have a chance of success. Early investigation can sometimes be critical to establishing the proof necessary to position the case for the best result. Also speed in bringing the action or claim is very important because often the time to do so may be very short. At the Chiera Law Group, we understand the various actual and constructive notice requirements under the law and will work to develop the proof necessary to establish your claim and recovery. Let the Chiera Law Group represent you should you be injured in a trip/slip and fall accident.
Wrongful Death
Sadly the negligence of someone can result in death. The death could be caused by a failure to diagnose cancer, surgical error, dangerous drug or device, car/truck/motorcycle accident, fall from a height on a construction site, or another negligence act. The impact to the survivors is painful and lifelong. Although nothing can bring back the loved one, the families of the deceased person may be entitled to compensation for the pecuniary losses that will suffer for the loss of the deceased person’s income which they relied, or the loss of services, consortium and guidance of the family member who passed away. Additionally, should the family member have died with a will, or without a will, estate paperwork and proceedings will have to be initiated in the proper courts. At the CHIERA LAW GROUP, we can represent you and be your advocate in holding the negligent person or entity responsible, as well as guide you through the complicated estate filing process. Let us help, support, and represent you should you lose a loved one.
