Our Family Helping You & Your Family

  • PERSONAL INJURY

    $425,000 RECOVERY

    After receiving a settlement offer of less than $10,000 our client contacted another local attorney about their case. We worked as co-counsel with the referring attorney to assist our client to the recovery she needed and deserved. We faced defenses of “causation” and the argument that the “minor” impact did not cause the client’s injuries. After consulting with the client’s neurosurgeon and providing his written opinion that the crash did lead to the necessity for surgery settlement was finally reached with the vehicle owner’s insurance company, then with the driver’s insurance company, and finally with our client’s own underinsured motorist carrier. Incidentally, the final $25,000 was collected for our client when her own insurance company could not produce a signed UM/UIM rejection form. This happens in less than 5% of our cases, but when the insurer can’t produce this document, the law requires that they provide this coverage to their insureds. This recovery made a difference for our client.

  • PERSONAL INJURY

    $300,000 RECOVERY

    Our client suffered back injuries and was required to wear an upper body back brace for weeks during his recovery period. He was off work for many months from the crash. Prompt scene investigation verified that the at-fault driver not only ran the red blinking signal, but also failed to see the road marking with a stop bar and the stop sign on the highway. This recovery made a difference for our client.

  • PERSONAL INJURY

    $275,000 RECOVERY

    While traveling to Florida for vacation, our client was rear-ended at almost 60 miles an hour by the at-fault driver. Sadly, after the crash, our client received word that back surgery was required and he was immediately summoned back to the hospital after his initial release. Recovery was made from the at-fault driver and then from our client’s own under insured motorist coverage. This recovery made a difference for our client

  • PERSONAL INJURY

    $260,000 RECOVERY

    Our client sustained a serious leg/foot injury when the at-fault driver turned left in front of her. A video presentation of her vehicle, the scene, and our client’s life changing injury was prepared within 3 months of her injury. The policy limits from the at-fault party were quickly offered and our client’s underinsured motorist carrier paid their limits within days of our demand for a total recovery of $260,000 for our client. This recovery made a difference for our client.

Your Concerns, Answered

Common Questions

  • Questions

  • Who will be held accountable for my accident?

    Answer

    If you were injured in an accident caused by no fault of your own, or if a loved one has been wrongfully killed due to another party’s negligent or reckless behavior, then you could be eligible to file a claim and pursue financial compensation under your State’s personal injury laws. Different parties can be held responsible for an accident that resulted in injury, including individuals (like a reckless bus driver) or an entity (such as a product manufacturer).

  • What type of compensation can I recover?

    Answer

    Recoveries can come in two forms: non-economic compensation and economic compensation. Economic compensation typically refers to the following: medical bills (past and current), lost wages due to time away from work, lost earning capacity, and property damages. Non-economic compensation can refer to: emotional pain and suffering, change in lifestyle, loss of companionship, or loss of enjoyment of life. Other forms of compensation can also include punitive damages or wrongful death claims.

  • Should I accept the deal my insurance company provided?

    Answer

    You have insurance coverage for a reason: when emergencies hit, you want to know that you are covered. Unfortunately, most insurance company settlements are so pitifully low that most victims are left with additional expenses in the aftermath of an accident. We know that the last thing you want is a courtroom battle, but we can help make sure you receive the full compensation you really deserve.

  • Why do I need a lawyer?

    Answer

    Working with an attorney can help level the playing field. Simply put, our firm makes sure insurance companies don’t try to corner you into accepting a low-ball offer. We know how to investigate a case to make sure you are receiving the full amount of compensation, and then we fight hard to make sure you do not receive anything less than what you rightly deserve.

Understanding Fault & Cause in Bus Accidents

Bus accidents can be caused by all sorts of things, including fault or no-fault events. Bus accidents may be rare compared to the frequency in which auto accidents occur. When a collision with a bus does happen, however, they can be devastating.

  • Improperly Trained Drivers
  • Traffic Law Violations
  • Poorly Maintained Roads
  • Drunk or Distracted Driving
  • Defective Auto Parts

    Charges Reduced

    There may be a chance that you can get your charges reduced to a misdemeanor, depending upon circumstances with what exactly happened.

    In some instances, it can be proven that some type of violation occurred during the process of investigation, which could lead to evidence being thrown out of court.

  • Possible Case Outcomes

    We work tirelessly to secure the best possible outcome, including getting your criminal charges completely dismissed, acquitted, or dropped.
