Injuries Occur in The Blink of An Eye and Can Change Your Life and Your Family Forever
Fighting to protect your rights and recover full compensation for your injuries is often a difficult problem that most people don't know how to deal with. You are up against more than just the person whose negligence caused your injury. You are up against a large insurance company, possibly even your own.
Accidents happen in a flash and short-term memories are fragmented at best. The insurance companies know this and, because they are permitted to visit your hospital bed, they often take your statement before you've had a chance to put any of the pieces back together. They can bind you with this later.
THE POINT: Don't talk to someone from the "other side" until you have consulted with someone on YOUR SIDE. The Kaplan/Bond Group is on your side.
One of the Premier Admiralty Trial Law Firms in the Nation
THE KAPLAN/BOND GROUP has earned recognition as one of the nation's premier admiralty and maritime trial law firms. We advise and represent seamen, fishermen and commercial shipping interests in cities throughout the United States and internationally. Our trial attorneys offer more than a century of combined legal experience. Our small size allows us to remain flexible, personal and responsive, as we work very closely with each client.
Experience and Success at the Highest Levels
Our adversaries often include large corporations and even larger insurance companies. Our trial attorneys are aggressive and thorough in the representation of our clients, well-respected in the legal community, and have a solid reputation that precedes us in the state, federal and appellate courts.
Most recently, our representation of an injured seaman led to another major victory in the United States Supreme Court: Stewart v. Dutra Const. Co., 543 U.S. 481 (2005). The ruling we achieved changed the law and expanded the rights of injured seamen nationwide.
The Working Man's Law Firm
THE KAPLAN/BOND GROUP is so much more than just maritime law. Whether you have been injured while plying your trade at sea, or have suffered injury and damages because of someone's negligence on land, our personal injury trial attorneys are ready to help. We are the law firm that working men and women have been turning to for decades.
We represent individuals who have been injured in construction site accidents, product liability incidents, defective premises incidents (slips, trips and falls) and motor vehicle accidents.
ALL injured workers, including visitors, U.S. citizens and "undocumented" workers or residents, may be eligible for accident benefits under both state and federal law.
Our principal practice areas include:
