PERSONAL INJURY:

Personal injury law covers a broad spectrum of issues when one has been physically or emotionally injured, or personal property has been damaged. The law of personal injury is concerned with determining who may be responsible (who is "liable," or has "liability") for causing injury and how much the responsible party should be required to pay for any damages resulting from the injury. Personal injury law can be classified in the following three broad categories, or degrees of fault: negligence, intentional torts and products liability torts.

While Frankovitch, Anetaks, Colantonio & Simon can never guarantee the outcome of a lawsuit, we can guarantee that we will work hard — for you and with you — and we will provide sound, objective advice, and share in decision-making.

We cannot accept every case that people consult with us about, but we never charge for giving advice and for consulting with you regarding your claim. In all personal injury cases, Frankovitch, Anetaks, Simon, Decapio, & Pearl provides aggressive representation to injury victims.


Oil & Gas/Mineral Rights, Natural Resources and Leasing Issues:

Frankovitch, Anetakis, Simon, Decapio, & Pearl is the Ohio Valley's leader in Oil and Gas Law. Our exeperienced attorneys can protect your property in West Virginia, Ohio and Pennsylvania and negotiate your lease. Call us today!

IMPORTANT

If you previously entered into an oil and gas lease with Great Lakes Energy Partners, LLC, which was subsequently assigned to Chesapeake Appalachia, LLC, your ownership interest in your oil and gas may at risk and you could stand to lose a considerable sum of money if action is not taken.

Many of these Great Lakes oil and gas leases contain a provision, usually contained in Paragraph 19 of the lease, that states in pertinent part:

“…Upon the expiration of this lease and within sixty (60) days thereinafter, Lessor grants to Lessee an option to extend or renew under similar terms a like lease.”

In many instances, Chesapeake has attempted to renew leases containing this provision for an additional 5-year term on the same lease terms merely by paying the same amount paid to you when the lease was originally signed. Chesapeake denies you have the right to renegotiate the lease terms at a higher price upon expiration of the original five-year term, even though the market price for oil and gas rights is substantially higher than it was when you originally signed the lease.

We believe this provision is legally insufficient to convey an option to Chesapeake to renew your lease under the same terms. Our firm has brought several lawsuits against Chesapeake to prevent them from unilaterally extending similar leases under this provision and consequently appropriating their oil and gas.

If you signed a lease with Great Lakes Energy Partners LLC, which contains terms similar to those stated above, you may have rights which would enable you to obtain a higher price for your oil and gas than is available to you under the terms of your Great Lakes Energy Lease.

If you would like to review your rights under your oil and gas lease, call us for a free consultation at 304-723-4400.


WRONGFUL DEATH:

A wrongful death claim is a suit that arises from the death of an individual that was caused by the conduct of another. A wrongful death suit is different from other types of personal injury claims because the actual victim (the "decedent") is not bringing suit, rather it is the family members or the decedent's estate. As such, a wrongful death claim is brought to recover damages for the injuries that the surviving family and/or estate have suffered due to the death of the victim. At Frankovitch, Anetaks, Simon, Decapio, & Pearl, we understand that no amount of money can make up for the loss of a loved one. However, we help our clients achieve financial security so they can focus on recovering from their loss.


INSURANCE BAD FAITH:

When an insurance company fails to honor the obligations in your insurance contract, or fails to perform some other responsibility it has to you pursuant to the insurance you purchased, you may have a case against the insurance company for "bad faith." Every insurance contract contains an unwritten, invisible, or implied term referred to as the covenant or promise of good faith and fair dealing. This is a promise imposed by law upon an insurance company to always act fairly towards its insureds in handling their claims. Carriers must meet the reasonable expectations of the policyholder and an insurer must always give as much consideration to the financial interests of its insureds as it does to its own financial interests. Frankovitch, Anetaks, Simon, Decapio, & Pearl aggressively litigates every insurance bad faith claim we handle in order to maximize our clients' recovery.


SPINAL CORD INJURY (SCI)

Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) is damage to the spinal cord that results in a loss of function such as mobility or feeling. Frequent causes of damage are trauma (car accidents, gunshot wounds, falls, etc.) or disease (polio, spina bifida, Friedreich's Ataxia, etc.). The spinal cord does not have to be severed in order for a loss of functioning to occur. In fact, for most people with SCI, the spinal cord is intact, but the damage to it results in loss of functioning. Almost 11,000 people in the U.S. sustain a traumatic spinal cord injury each year, resulting in temporary or permanent sensory deficit, motor deficit, or bowel or bladder dysfunction. In this country, more than 250,000 people live with paralysis caused by SCI. The personal injury lawyers at Frankovitch, Anetaks, Simon, Decapio, & Pearl provide aggressive representation to victims of SCI in order to help them get the maximum compensation for their injuries.


MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENT:

Motorcycles are becoming an ever-more popular mode of transportation in the United States. However, the increase in the popularity of motorcycles inevitably leads to an increase in motorcycle accidents.Per vehicle mile traveled in 2006, motorcyclists were about 35 times more likely than passenger car occupants to die in a motor vehicle traffic crash and 8 times more likely to be injured. While motorcycles made up no more than 3% of all registered vehicles in the U.S., motorcyclists account for 13% of total traffic deaths. Unfortunately, when motorcyclists are involved in accidents with passenger vehicles, motorcycle riders and their passengers are also more likely to suffer serious injury and death as a result. Frankovitch, Anetaks, Simon, Decapio, & Pearl offers aggressive, professional representation to motorcycle accident victims.


NURSING HOME ABUSE AND NEGLECT:

In the United States today, there are over thirty six million people above the age of 65. According to statistics, many will need some form of assisted living, whether it is a nursing home, assisted living facility or other elderly facility. Unfortunately, between 1 and 2 million Americans age 65 or older are abused in some way or another each year. Whether a nursing facility has failed to meet the basic needs of the patient, as occurs in cases of neglect, or nursing home staff have physically abused the patient, it is important to remember that the patient has rights. Frankovitch, Anetaks, Simon, Decapio, & Pearl is committed to upholding the quality of care in our long-term care institutions by taking swift legal action to compensate nursing home residents and their families for injuries resulting from neglect or inadequate care. Only this way will the quality of care for all residents be assured.
