Motor Vehicle Accidents

Motorcycle accidents - As an avid rider for more than four decades and former rehab counselor for accident victims, I have extensive knowledge of motorcycles, the consequences of accidents, the medical aspects, insurance issues, and the public's bias against motorcyclists. I ride, I care, and I understand.
Auto accidents - When another driver's negligence causes a car accident which results in personal injury or death, I have the experience and determination to secure the maximum compensation for my clients.
Truck accidents - Driver error and trucking company negligence are the causes of many truck-versus-car crashes. I actively and thoroughly investigate to show liability and collect damages.

Dangerous Premises

John G. Rice, P.L.C. has secured damages for victims of slips, trips, and falls, dog bites and animal attacks, and other premises liability accidents. We investigate promptly to show that property owners failed in their duty to protect the public from hazards.

Malpractice and Neglect

Medical malpractice - Not every unfortunate medical situation is the result of malpractice or negligence by a medical provider. However, when medical malpractice resulted in misdiagnosis, birth injury, or surgical injuries, I diligently investigate the incident and advocate for my client's interests.
Nursing home neglect - Failure to provide proper supervision and safety can result in serious injuries to elderly residents in assisted living facilities. I investigate these cases to determine if there is an actionable claim for nursing home neglect or abuse.

Catastrophic Injuries and Fatal Accidents

As a former rehabilitation counselor, I helped hundreds of people rebuild their lives and return to the workforce. My extensive knowledge of permanent and life-altering injuries can work to your advantage in personal injury claims:

Spinal Injury - These can include broken vertebrae in the neck and back, spinal cord damage and paralysis, nerve damage and loss of function.
Brain Injury - Traumatic brain injury is common result of car, truck and motorcycle accidents, requiring years or a lifetime of therapy and care.
Musculoskeletal Injury - I secure compensation for loss of limb and broken bones, as well as subtle injuries to muscles, nerves and connective tissues that leave people with severe disability.
Wrongful Death - I help surviving family members seek damages for the tangible financial impact, as well as compensation for the emotional loss of a loved one killed by negligence.
Burn Injury - I help second- and third-degree burn injury victims recover the compensation and support they will need in their recovery and long-term.
