A study published in the Journal of Transport & Health found that pedestrian crashes in urban areas are more likely to occur at intersections and involve left-hand turns.

Testimonials

We are proud to have received numerous positive testimonials from our clients who appreciate our commitment to fighting for their rights and securing the compensation they deserve.

Rob helped me out of a jam, even though it didn’t fall under the umbrella of his primary focus of law. I had an out of state vendor for two of my businesses; this vendor, for reasons unknown, created a second account for each of these businesses and was double dipping monthly fees for 4-5 months. After I made many phone calls to get my money back over a period of almost a year they made it clear that even though they acknowledged the mistake, they were not going to reimburse me the money they had debited. I finally called Rob and within a few weeks the company had sent me all of the money with a letter from the CEO apologizing for the error and lack of action on their part to fix the problem. Can’t recommend Rob enough! Thank you!

Bob did a great job on my slip and fall case. He kept me informed throughout, answered questions and communicated frequently and thoroughly to me about the case and where it stood. I was very satisfied with my settlement. He’s the best, looking out for my best interest always. And as a side note, Kallie , his paralegal was awesome as well! I highly recommend them.

Paul Mann

I completed a project for general contractor, and he decided not to pay me. Not only did he stop answering my calls, he changed all his phone numbers, and business address. When I hired the Law office of Robert Shea, I didn’t think he would be able do anything for me. Boy was I wrong! With the little information that I had on the general contractor during the prime peak of Covid. Attorney Robert Shea was able to track him down, and drop the legal smack down on him. He was able to get me all the money the contractor owed me and more. I couldn’t be any more happier.
