Unfortunately, I see way too many people misinformed about their rights after being injured.  I have seen honest, hard working, unsuspecting people being taken advantage of by uncaring insurance companies.  I have heard too many horror stories of injured people losing what they rightfully deserve because a big insurance company intimidated them or a lawyer who settled for less, an  “unfair settlement.” 

            If you have been injured in an auto collision or other accident, there are some facts the big insurance companies do not want you to know.  Let me share with you some real life examples of people I have helped and give you some critical facts you need to be aware of to ensure you what you rightfully deserve.  To protect my clients confidentiality the names have been changed.

 HOW CAN THIS BE HAPPENING TO ME?

             Brian came to me as a last resort.  He had retained another attorney but after the insurance company said they would not pay anything the other attorney dropped the case.  Brian came in for a free consultation.  After reviewing the case with Brian I was able to prove that the insurance company was wrong and they would have to pay.   

            Brian was very active before the accident.  He was 28 years old and planning on becoming a law enforcement officer.  He was a weight lifter and enjoyed playing all variety of sports.  After the accident he had severe pain in his back and shoulder, ankle and wrist.  He went through physical therapy and chiropractic care but continued to suffer significant pain whenever he tried to do almost any physical activity.   He could not work and his wife’s income was minimal.  Financially they were ruined.  The physical and financial difficulties were causing problems between Brian and his wife.  

            I prepared a case summary with all the medical records, statements from the witnesses, pictures of the accident scene and a thorough summary of the law.   I made the insurance company re-open the case.   After a review of the materials I prepared the insurance company acknowledged they were at fault and then we were able to start negotiations for the damages Brian suffered.   Shortly after this Brian and his wife came to me so excited, they were expecting a baby.  But how would they survive financially?   I was able to get the insurance company to make the payments for Brian’s medical treatment and after vigorous negotiations I was able to get a just and fair settlement just before the baby was born.
