Auto, Motorcycle And Truck Accidents
From the initial impact when you hear the sound of crushing metal and splintering glass, you will discover that all accidents change your life from a claim for wrongful death caused by such an accident to a "minor" accident. We at Hayworth, Chaney & Thomas P.A. believe that all accidents involve life changing experiences. You have pain and suffering associated with the physical injury as well as the worry and anguish over medical bills and lost wages, and the inconvenience of car repairs and other expenses. You will quickly find that your suffering is magnified by the uncaring, cold and dispassionate actions of an insurance company which is motivated purely by profit and who do not have your best interest at heart. We at Hayworth, Chaney & Thomas, have years of experience with insurance companies to preserve your rights and guide you through the complicated claims procedures that have been created by insurance companies to discourage you from receiving the compensation for which you are entitled.

Nursing Home Abuse And Neglect
Nursing home neglect and abuse occurs when a loved one is injured because of a Nursing Home's failure to take proper care of your loved one. It is usually difficult to discover this neglect or abuse, but the signs of abuse can surface in many different ways such as observing physical signs such as untreated bed sores, open wounds, bruising suggestive of restraints, torn clothing, excessive and sudden weight loss, fleas, lice or the odor of feces or urine. You may also see that the staff has suddenly changed medications, the staff cannot account for the whereabouts of the residents, the staff will not allowing family or friends to visit with the resident alone, or the staff's inability to explain the resident's condition.
The best way to discover neglect or abuse is to communicate directly with your loved ones and visit them frequently at various times throughout the week so that the staff cannot anticipate your arrival.
