Medical malpractice, massive auto-truck collisions, plane and helicopter crashes, mass transit collisions, or other catastrophic events.

For more than 45 years, Burbidge | Mitchell has provided exceptional representation to victims of wrongful death and serious injury. We have an outstanding success rate in winning record-setting verdicts and multimillion-dollar settlements for our clients.

Some of our areas of expertise include:

Wrongful Death

A “wrongful death” occurs when a person is killed due to the negligence or misconduct of another individual, company or entity. We thoroughly investigate all lawsuits resulting in wrongful death, including auto and truck collisions, medical negligence and serious catastrophic events. We work relentlessly to obtain fair compensation for your losses.

Catastrophic Injury

Injuries that are considered catastrophic, due to the enormous impact they have on the lives of the individuals who experience them, include the following: brain injury, spinal cord injury, accidental amputation, severe burns, multiple fractures or other neurological disorders. If you have suffered a serious or catastrophic injury as a result of a car or truck accident, plane or helicopter crash, or other catastrophic event, we have the experience to fight expertly for the fair and just compensation you deserve.

Brain Injuries

Concussions, coma, seizures, memory loss, and other disabling brain injuries due to accidents are legal matters in which our lawyers have extensive experience. We retain the best experts to assess and calculate the monetary cost of life-care issues and future health care for you.

Spinal Injuries

When paralysis or disability results from an accidental spinal injury due to a car accident, fall, sports injury or other trauma, our lawyers will aggressively pursue the compensation you deserve to help you move your life forward.

Automobile/Truck Accidents

Rollovers and collisions due to truck driver error or faulty equipment are responsible for many multi-vehicle accidents. Tractor-trailers, 18-wheelers, and big rigs are dangerous due to their heavy weight and larger size as compared to passenger cars. Our firm has substantial experience in representing those affected by semitruck accidents.

Aircraft Accidents

Whether the crash involves a helicopter, private plane or commercial carrier, our attorneys are qualified to represent your interests in these types of lawsuits in state, national and multi-district litigation.

Defective Products

Our past cases have included claims involving propane furnaces, floods, environmental spills, stray electricity, dangerous drug side effects (such as those from Vioxx and Prempro), recreational vehicles, bicycles, medical devices, and more.
