Construction sites are historically very dangerous places to work. Workers are known to suffer serious injuries and deaths because of the nature of the construction industry and the use of power tools, heavy equipment and working at breathtaking heights.

Construction site safety can be the responsibility of owners, contractors, architects and manufacturers of the equipment used at the construction site and those who have ability to make certain adequate safety measures are in place.

Some causes of construction site accidents include negligence, defective machinery and equipment, violations of OSHA regulations and inadequate training and safety measures in place.

The most common injuries at a construction site are those caused by falls, welding burns, nail gun injuries, forklift accidents, exposure to hazardous substances, electrocution and injuries from defective equipment. The heavy equipment, loud machinery and powerful tools are potential dangers to the workers on site. The severity of a construction site injury can be catastrophic, often leading to death.

We encourage you to please contact the Phoenix, Arizona office of the experienced construction site injury attorney, Jerrold A. Mayro of The Mayro Law Firm today to schedule a no cost to you consultation to learn about your legal rights in this matter and whether you are entitled to financial compensation for your injuries.

Almost 1.5 million people suffer traumatic brain injuries (TBI) in America every year, and 150,000 of them will be the victims of a life-long impairment. As an experienced personal injury attorney, Jerrold A. Mayro has represented many brain injury victims including victims with both severe and mild brain injuries.

Attorney Mayro understands what is involved in a brain injury claim - both from a legal perspective and from the physical and emotional perspectives of the victim and his or her family.

The causes of traumatic brain injury vary and include motor vehicle accidents, sports related injuries, domestic violence and falls. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), over 3 million Americans are struggling with life after a traumatic brain injury. Not included in that figure are the over 300,000 veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan who have suffered TBI.

A traumatic brain injury is the result of the brain experiencing a blow to the head which can either leave the skull and brain intact or penetrate the skull and brain. TBI are classified by the severity of the injury to the brain, such as mild, moderate or severe.

A mild brain injury causes headache, slight confusion and dizziness, some blurred vision and may or may not cause a period of unconsciousness. A moderate to severe TBI can cause a persistent headache, nausea and vomiting, seizures, an inability to awaken, weakness of the extremities and profound confusion.

Victims of severe traumatic brain injury require months and years of physical, emotional and financial support to cope with the life-altering effect of their brain injury.

By contacting the experienced traumatic brain injury attorney Jerrold A. Mayro of The Mayro Law Firm today to schedule a consultation you can discuss your legal rights and learn whether you are entitled to financial compensation for your injury or the injuries your elderly loved ones sustained.

If you were the victim of an assault in a shopping mall parking lot, you may have been the victim of negligent security. Negligent security is a legal term that refers to the failure of a possessor of premises, such as the owner of a shopping mall, hotel, sports arena, hospital or college administration, to provide reasonable protection for the safety and well-being of their patrons, guests, patients or students and faculty.

Every day innocent people become the victims of violent crimes, such as sexual assaults, abductions and robberies that might have been avoided had adequate precautionary safety measures been in place. Inadequate safety measures include poor lighting and surveillance equipment and inadequate security patrolling.

If you suffered a personal injury as a consequence of the failure of a property owner, a business, a landlord, a tenant, management or administration to provide a reasonable standard of security, you may be entitled to receive financial compensation for your injuries and losses.

Throughout Arizona and the US, violence in the work-place and on college campuses is on the rise. If you were assaulted on a college campus, a shopping mall parking garage or a poorly lit ATM, you may be entitled to financial compensation for your medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering and other expenses incurred due to your injury.

If you live in the Phoenix, or anywhere in Arizona, and you or someone you care about was injured due to negligent security, please contact the Phoenix, Arizona office of the experienced negligent security attorney Jerrold A. Mayro of The Mayro Law Firm today to schedule a no cost consultation to protect your legal rights and obtain the financial compensation you deserve.

Tom Petty is one of my favorite musicians. Yet he is more than that. I have heard him described as a craftsman. He creates the lyrics and melody, then molds them into a finished product, a song. Yet, there are many composers. Tom Petty goes well beyond that; he creates seamless music that is also compelling.

A lawyer also has to be a craftsperson in portraying what happened to his client in an honest and compelling way. There is also a process involved. A lawyer starts with the facts and analyzes them. A lawyer researches the law and applies it to those facts. He or she attempts to combine them to create a theme, then writes, rewrites and refines that theme into a compelling finished product, a portrait of what happened to the client. With all the magical elements of a great song about to be sung, a lawyer's presentation can then flow from that finished product.

Sounds simple? Hardly. It can be a tedious process. Every word has to communicate a meaning; there can be no excess. The words must flow and be compelling. A portrait of the client before and after the unfortunate event must be as contrasting as day and night.

My father used to tell me as a child that genius is 1% natural ability and 99% hard work. I have stayed up many a night trying to create, write and refine my thoughts. Sometimes I have given my mind cues so that my unconscious processes will come up with the right words interwoven with the rights sounds and the right feelings so that I may do the very best I can for my clients.

The process may takes minutes; it may take hours, days, even weeks. But I'll get there. How will I know when its right? I'll feel it in ever fiber of my being. A lawyer owes the client as much.

Slip and fall accidents are common and, if an injury occurs, may lead to a premises liability claim. Possessors of property may have a responsibility to maintain their property in a condition that does not represent a hazard to others.

Slip and fall accidents often occur on commercial or public property. A premises liability claim involving a "business visitor" generally must show that the property possessor either, created the hazard that caused the slip and fall, or knew about the hazard, or should have known about the hazard, and did not use reasonable care to protect.

Injuries from a slip and fall accident may range from bruising and lacerations to broken bones or a traumatic brain injury that can mean life-long disability or death.

In the case of a life-altering or life-threatening slip and fall injury, proper legal representation is essential to you receiving the financial compensation you are entitled to for current and future medical expenses, the loss of income and your pain and suffering.

On my way home from work the other day I heard the classic "Singin' in the Rain". I again visualized Gene Kelly dancing his way down a dark street in the pouring rain with an unopened umbrella. He's singing "I'm happy again".
