Frequently Asked Questions

Do I Need A Lawyer?

Because the insurance industry invests billions of dollars training insurance claims adjusters in all aspects of the law in order to further the interests of the insurance company, there is almost no circumstance involving bodily injuries that a person does not need an attorney. Further, studies have shown that even after hiring and paying an attorney, people with injury claims net more money when they do hire an attorney compared to those that handle the matter on their own.

When Should I Hire A Lawyer?

If you have been injured in an accident, it is never too soon to hire a lawyer. The more time that passes, the more difficult in may become enforcing your rights and protecting you from the attempts by the insurance industry to compromise those rights. Plus, the attorneys fee is usually the same whether the attorney is involved from the beginning or not until right before the case is resolved. Therefore, there is no cost benefit to waiting to hire an attorney. And once you hire an attorney, all you need to focus on is recovering from your injuries. The attorney will take care of everything else to ensure your rights are fully protected.
