Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do if my insurance company calls me?

If or when the insurance company calls you, all you should say is, "I need to consult my attorney. I will have him contact you." Insurance companies do not have your best interest at heart, and only care about their profits. In many situations they try to get the victim to settle his or her insurance claim for less than it's worth. It's important that you refrain from speaking to the insurance representative, as you may unknowingly give them information that can hurt your claim.

When should I contact a lawyer?

The first thing you should do following an accident is to seek medical attention. Once you have seen a doctor, then you should speak with an attorney. It's very important that a doctor diagnoses your injuries or conditions, and documents how he or she predicts your injuries will affect your quality of life in the weeks, months, and years ahead. Not only do the judges and insurance companies take claims more seriously when the victim sees a doctor, but it helps us determine the value of your claim so we know how much to seek when filing a lawsuit against the responsible party.

What types of damages can I recover?

As an accident victim, you may be eligible to recover damages for your medical bills, related medical costs, lost earnings, property damage, pain and suffering, emotional turmoil, and decrease in the quality of your life.
