Medical-Malpractice
Medical malpractice is negligence caused by the acts or omissions of a healthcare provider, like doctors, nurses, and hospital staff. When their conduct falls below the accepted standard of practice in our community, it may cause permanent, irreparable harm to you or your family. Insurance companies have spent millions of dollars in an attempt to convince the public that medical malpractice cases are bad for our country and for the healthcare system.
Birth Injury
Birth-Injury-Statistics Awaiting the birth of a child is a memorable time in any person’s life. Parents put their trust and faith in the doctors, nurses, and hospital to safely deliver their newborn without any complications. All too often, though, errors and omissions during labor cause unexpected problems.


Dangerous Drugs
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has the responsibility to regulate pharmaceuticals and to ensure that they are safe before issuing an approval. Even with all of the regulations and red tape in place, many dangerous medications fill the shelves at our local pharmacies and drug stores.
Nursing Home Neglect
Elder abuse or mistreatment is defined as intentional or negligent actions that cause harm or create a serious risk of harm to a vulnerable elder by a caregiver or other person. According to the National Center on Elder Abuse, the 2010 Census recorded the greatest number and highest proportion of people age 65 and older in our country’s history. Because of this, more people are in need of care and protection.


Negligent Security
At Snyder & Wenner, P.C., we know that bad things happen to good people who happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. In a negligent security case, the victim is seriously injured or killed due to the negligent conduct of a business owner, bar owner, or apartment complex owner.

Truck Accident & Commercial Vehicle
Sharing driving space with very large, heavy tractor trailers is a daily occurrence on Arizona highways, and while you might exercise every caution possible to avoid collision with one of these mammoth vehicles, the reality is that it’s a chance we all take every time we drive on the public roads and highways.


Burn Injuries
A serious burn injury has horrible and lasting physical and psychological consequences. If a burn injury was caused by someone else’s negligence, you need and deserve compensation for what you have suffered and continue to suffer. The Arizona burn injury lawyers at Snyder & Wenner have seen the trauma and devastation burn injuries can cause to victims. The pain does not end with the burn injury accident.

Negligent Security

Dog Bites
For over 33 years, Snyder & Wenner has been representing victims of serious dog bites and dog attacks in Scottsdale. Dogs are great companions and friends. While many are loving and friendly, some are poorly trained and aggressive. It is often not the dog’s fault, which is why in Arizona, dog owners are liable for injuries sustained if someone is victimized by a dog bite or dog attack. This is called strict liability. There are some exceptions, including if the dog was provoked. Since it is not simply a cut and dry issue, you need experienced, successful attorneys to represent you.
Motor Vehicle Accidents
If you’ve been in a motor vehicle accident caused by the negligent actions of another driver, you may be eligible to recover compensation for your injuries and property damage. Work with Snyder & Wenner to collect the right evidence to establish the cause of your wreck—this allows you to prove liability for your damages.


Restaurant & Bar Liability
Many people do not know that bars, taverns, and restaurants can be held responsible for injuries stemming from a drunk driving accident if the establishment over-served the customer. Arizona law specifically allows this type of lawsuit (called “Dram Shop”) because it is critically important to protect our community from bars that put alcohol profits over safety.
Motorcycle Accidents
Injuries from a motorcycle accident are more likely to be serious because of the exposure motorcycle drivers and their passengers have. Even with a helmet and other protective gear, injuries can be catastrophic. It is important to have a lawyer who knows how to investigate accident causes and liability.


Defective Products
It happens far too often: A manufacturer does not take appropriate steps to assure a product is safe before placing it on the market. Worse still are the manufacturers who know a product is defective, but choose to risk the lives and safety of other people who buy or use the product.
Construction Accidents
Construction sites are dangerous—especially when general contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers fail to follow safety standards or when equipment fails to operate properly. In these situations, contractors, equipment manufacturers, and others may be responsible for construction accident injuries.

Brain Injuries
Brain trauma can cause devastating injury. Every year, more than 2 million people suffer some form of brain injury. The skull prevents many of these injuries from becoming major causes of concern, but more than 500,000 head injuries require hospitalization and medical treatment each year. The brain is one of the most delicate parts of the human body, and, as such, requires immediate treatment if it is injured.


Wrongful Death
When a death is caused by someone else’s negligence, it is called “wrongful death.” This can occur in any number of ways, including car crash, trucking crash, medical malpractice, and product liability. If someone dies due to the negligence of another person or company, an experienced wrongful death lawyer is needed. Snyder & Wenner has successfully litigated wrongful death cases in Phoenix, Arizona (and the greater Phoenix area) for more than 35 years. We take cases that many other law firms are unable to handle, which is evidenced by the fact that law firms from all over the country seek out Snyder & Wenner for help in litigating wrongful death cases.
