A personal injury attorney. Sounds like they were negligent in maintaining their supplies. I would need additional information. Please contact me to further discuss, or we can schedule an appointment at one of my several office locations.

there is a claim for fear of aids. In addition, he may have a workers comp. claim. It depends upon injury and treatment. Has there been any counseling? You need a firm that handles injury claims and worker compensation. Call me.
