Immediate intervention by Sullivan Brill resulted in a police investigation that was critical to the success of the case. Cruise ships are far more dangerous than the industry would like the public to believe. Injuries caused by sexual assaults and slip and fall accidents are not uncommon. Many people don’t realize that terms and conditions on the back of the cruise ticket require that they formally notify the cruise line of the details of the accident in a very short period of time, often 30 days, and that it limits the time within which they must file suit. If you are injured on a cruise ship, you must act quickly. The accident lawyers (PracticeAreas/Auto-Accidents.html) at Sullivan Brill can help you get the compensation you deserve.

She was told by the office staff that the biopsy was normal, when in fact it showed she had a basil cell carcinoma (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basal_cell_carcinoma). When the mole began to rapidly grow, she saw another dermatologist, who made the correct diagnosis. Thankfully, the cancer had not spread and she was able to have it completely removed with surgery. Today, she is cancer free. However, the surgery left scars on her forehead, which Sullivan Brill successfully argued she would not have been left with had the cancer been immediately diagnosed and removed. The failure to diagnose cancer leads to thousands of serious injuries and death every year. If you or a loved one has been injured by this type of medical malpractice, Sullivan Brill can help you.

Later, it was also discovered that he had sustained a fracture in his pelvis. The defendant claimed that the brakes on the vehicle had locked up. Sullivan Brill took immediate action to preserve the vehicle and then had it inspected by an automotive engineer who determine that breaks had not locked up prior to the defendant losing control of the vehicle. Sullivan Brill was also able to secure the vehicle’s “black box” which demonstrated, contrary to the defendant’s testimony, that he was traveling over 80 mph.
