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.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Questions

  • After Being Injured, What Steps Should I Take?

    Answer

    In the days following an accident, we advise you to write down as many details about the accident as possible. Make note of all conversations had with the individuals involved. Preserve evidence and locate witnesses who may be able to help prove your case. Notify the party or parties responsible that you intend to file a claim against them. Lastly, and most importantly, secure the assistance of an injury attorney.

  • How Long Do I Have To File A Claim?

    Answer

    The statute of limitations govern the amount of time you have to file a personal injury claim. Depending on the circumstances of your case, you may have one year. Exceeding this deadline may result in your claim being dismissed. Due to the time sensitive nature of your injury lawsuit, we suggest you contact our attorney as soon as possible. We will review the details of your case and inform you of your rights.

  • What If I Was Partially At Fault?

    Answer

    If you were partially responsible for your pedestrian accident, you will likely bear some of the responsibility for the accident. This will result in reduced recovery.

  • What Damages Might I Be Entitled To Recover?

    Answer

    You may be entitled to recover damages for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering. Depending on the unique circumstances pertaining to your case, you may also be awarded punitive damages.
