G&O are River, Rail & Motorcycle Lawyers.
Our Pittsburgh law firm
helps clients in Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Ohio
Based in Pittsburgh, our attorneys represent people and their families in Pennsylvania, West
Virginia, and Ohio who have been seriously injured or killed in accidents. We are:
-
Admiralty & Maritime Lawyers
On rivers,
lakes, and oceans in admiralty and
maritime claims (Jones Act negligence - general maritime law
unseaworthiness - towboat accidents, barge accidents - drownings - drilling rig
accidents - crew boat accidents - supply
boat accidents - pleasure boating accidents - passenger boat and excursion
boat accidents).
On the railroads in FELA (Federal Employers' Liability Act) claims,
railroad track crossing collisions and accidents, and derailments.
On and off the road in street motorcycle
accidents and dirt bike accidents, and
also in scooter, Vespa, ATV, "four-wheeler," or "quad"
accidents. Fred Goldsmith
rides both street bikes and dirt bikes.
-
Oilfield and Drilling Rig Accident Lawyers
On oil and gas drilling rigs, including on the Marcellus
Shale. We are familiar with oil and gas well drilling equipment, operations, and terminology.
We know the hard
work roughnecks, roustabouts, drillers, toolpushers and other
rig hands perform and the hazards involved in this type of work.
-
Personal Injury, Civil Rights,
and Consumer Protection Lawyers
We represent people in
serious personal injury and death (such as automobile accidents,
industrial accidents, mining accidents) and
civil rights cases (such as excessive
force claims) and consumer protection litigation (including defective products, violations of state unfair or deceptive trade
practices acts and federal antitrust laws).
-
Contingent Fee Commercial
Litigation Lawyers
Individuals and companies, particularly in Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and
Ohio, may be interested in our willingness to take on
contingent fee commercial
litigation cases. In these suits, we represent plaintiffs
in breach of contract, business torts, and large judgment collection
lawsuits. While we also handle this type of work on an
hourly basis, we believe a contingent fee or blended
hourly/contingent fee perfectly aligns the interests of the client
and the law firm - a concept we embrace. When we handle a case
on a contingent fee basis, when/if there is a settlement or judgment
in our client's favor, the client would then owe us the agreed-to
fee and any case expenses (such as court reporter charges, expert
witness fees, court costs, etc.) which the client had previously
agreed in writing were also its responsibility.
-
Insurance Coverage and Bad Faith
Litigation Lawyers
We represent policyholders in
insurance coverage and bad faith
litigation and individuals and small companies in
business formation and
contract negotiation. Fred
Goldsmith has been asked to speak at seminars on the
enforceability of indemnity and insurance clauses in contracts.
