I've been injured in an auto accident. Do I need a lawyer?
If you feel that you deserve compensation for your injury, a lawyer can help. Studies show that accident victims receive larger settlements when represented by a lawyer, and victims who had a lawyer receive more money even after subtracting their own lawyer's fee.
I've just been injured in an auto accident. What should I do now?
CALL US IMMEDIATELY. The time right after the accident can be vital to your claim. Evidence is gathered, witnesses are interviewed and other case elements are developed. Also, there are time limits for making claims.
I was injured in an auto accident, but I think I may have been partly at fault. What should I do?
CALL US EVEN IF YOU THINK YOU WERE PARTIALLY AT FAULT. We may still be able to get you a recovery.
I've been injured at work. What should I do?
You must report any accident immediately, but not later than 30 days after the accident, to your employer, your employer's representative, and your foreman or immediate supervisor. Failure to do so may result in losing your workers comp benefits. After you've reported your accident, call us immediately.
I was injured at work. Do I need a lawyer?
Workers compensation injury claims can be confusing and frustrating. You shouldn't have to wait for compensation for your injury. A lawyer can help you get the compensation you deserve in a timely manner.
Can I receive compensation for my injury?
If you were injured on the job, you may receive medical rehabilitation and income benefits. These benefits are provided to help you return to work. Your dependents may also receive benefits in the event that you die as a result of a job-related injury.
