Why Choose Johannesen & Umana, P.C?

You and your family need to focus on your physical well-being and recovery. However, it is important for you to act quickly to allow us to begin our investigation. Construction sites change quickly, memories of witnesses fade, and other workers often move on to other sites. Locating witnesses and documenting the scene are important first steps to building a strong case. If you have been seriously injured and believe someone other than your employer was responsible, please contact us for a free consultation.
