FAQ

Lawyers, by virtue of a state’s bar admission, are expected to both uphold the law and protect the rights of their clients.
In addition to actually knowing the law, particularly within his or her practice area, an attorney must be able to communicate clearly with their clients, work competently to resolve their clients needs, and be ethical in the performance of their overall handling of a case.
A Personal Injury (PI) is any physical or mental injury to a person as a result of someone’s negligence or harmful act. Many insurance companies refer to Personal Injury as Bodily Injury (BI). Our personal injury lawyers will consult on your case for no out of pocket cost.
No. Auto accidents are the most common type of Personal Injury recognized by the general public.
Along with auto accidents, Personal Injury lawyers also handle cases involving home accidents, boat accidents, airplane crashes, dog bites, defective products, failure to provide adequate security, and malpractice, including the failure to diagnose to name a few.
The most important thing is to get well – see your doctor & follow your doctor’s orders. Do not discuss the accident or give a statement to the insurance company or attorney for the “at-fault” driver.
Remember: “What You Say Can and Will Be Used Against You!” Instruct them to call your insurance company or your attorney. Call a personal injury lawyer to discuss your claim. Most attorneys do not charge for an initial consultation in accident cases.
Do not speak with the adjuster. Refer the adjuster to your insurance company or attorney. Also, do not speak with the attorney for the “at-fault” driver.
Initially, the adjuster may tell you the reason for the call is to conduct a preliminary investigation. At that time, the adjuster may attempt to sound like your friend and even offer to pay your medical bills, which is an indication that the insurance company believes it is liable for an even larger payment to you.
If this happens, the adjuster’s real purpose is to convince you to settle your claim for a modest amount of money before you know how seriously you were injured. The insurance company may ask you to sign a Release. Unless you are ready to close your claim, DO NOT SIGN THE RELEASE.
Get the name and phone of the attorney. Report the attorney to the Bar Association or licensing authority in your state in your state. It is an ethical violation for an attorney to solicit accident victims.
Protect your rights. Call a personal injury lawyer. Get a professional opinion. You have nothing to lose. Most attorneys do not charge for an initial consultation in Personal Injury cases.
Damages are any loses or expenses you incurred as a result of the accident.
Whether a Personal Injury claim (a “tort”) exists is a matter of law. There are four elements to a “tort” claim:
- The “at-fault” person is under a duty to do or not to do something,
- The “at-fault” person breaches that duty,
- You suffer Damages, and
- Your Damages are the result of the “at-fault” person’s actions.
