Personal Injury

Auto accidents change lives every day. Slip and Fall accidents are very serious matters which must be handled by an experienced attorney to protect you.
Auto Accidents
If you’ve been injured in a serious auto accident, you’ll need legal help that’s just as serious. Even the most straightforward auto accidents can benefit from a legal advocate. Talking to someone at our office costs you nothing upfront. We will ensure your best interests are represented, particularly as insurance companies look to settle for the lowest possible amount to preserve their bottom-line profits.
Sometimes these disputes are solved swiftly and easily – particularly if the insurance company knows you have a legal shark in your corner. About 95% of car accident cases resolve in settlement negotiations, rather than going to trial. If it’s your first injury settlement negotiation, you may not have the confidence to demand what your case is worth.
Our strategy
Our robust legal strategy helps auto accident victims recover money to pay for:

  • Past, present, and future medical expenses
  • Hospital bills, surgeries, medications, diagnostic tests, and rehabilitation
  • Lost past and present wages, as well as loss of future earning capacity
  • Emotional distress, pain, and suffering
  • Home modification expenses related to a disability
  • Loss of consortium, companionship, support, and guidance
  • Funeral and burial expenses
Slip and Fall Accidents
You are deep in thought when, without warning, your feet slip out from under you with a whoosh of air, and you land hard on an unforgiving surface. These types of slips and falls are the leading cause of emergency room visits in the United States. Often, the injured individual winds up paying the bill for the lapse in attention that caused the injuries, but many times, somebody else should pay. Where the accident occurred and whether someone’s negligence led to the unsafe conditions that caused the fall are the determining factors for slip and fall liability. If you have been injured in a slip and fall accident, and you think you may have a case, your best strategy is to consult with a slip and fall lawyer as soon as possible.
When to contact an attorney
It is very important to have an attorney involved as soon as possible. Insurance companies record conversations and try to get you to say things which may hurt or invalidate your case.
Medical Treatment
It is very important to begin medical treatment as soon as possible. Seek treatment at the hospital or emergency room then follow up with your personal physician or begin treating with a physical therapist. If you wait, the insurance company will hold this against your case.
Dealing with Insurance Companies
From the very beginning, insurance companies will do anything to get you to say something that will hurt your case or settle it for far less money than it is worth. The same is true of your insurance company so don't trust them either.
