A car accident, workplace accident, or a dangerous product, can all cause serious, debilitating injuries that rob you of your ability to live life the way you did before the injury. Our attorneys have helped people who have suffered catastrophic personal injuries, including brain injury and spinal cord injury, receive the compensation they need to cover their medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more. If you are involved in an accident and are injured, or sustain substantial damage to your vehicle, stay at the accident scene until the police tell you that you can leave. In any accident, you should obtain information about the other driver(s) including his/her name, address, driver's license number, insurance information, and license plate number. You should also get contact information from anyone who witnessed the accident. You should also ask the police officer who investigates the accident to provide you with the "incident number" so that you may later obtain the accident report. Do not make statements to anyone at the accident scene, except the police. When you speak to the police, tell them only the facts of what happened. The officer will draw his/her own conclusion from the facts. It is important to seek medical care following the accident. The "adrenaline rush" from the accident can mask your symptoms. A physical examination may reveal an injury that you do not yet feel. Report any unusual symptoms to the doctor. For instance, if you hit your head you may not realize that you are injured. Tell your doctor if you experience loss of memory, headache, blood or fluid in your ear, dizziness, tinnitis (ringing in your ears), disorientation, nausea, confusion, or any other unusual physical or mental feeling following the collision. It is best to be safe and report your symptoms so that a doctor can rule out the possibility of a concussion or brain injury. In most situations, injured persons benefit from retaining an attorney to represent them. Insurance companies have trained and experienced employees whose goal is to pay nothing or as little as possible to resolve your claim. You should have someone on your side with experience to handle the details of your case. We will deal with the insurance company and others so that you may concentrate on your health and getting better. In the event you seek our help, we will conduct an initial consultation. At your initial consultation, we spend the time it takes to fully understand the nature of the accident and your injuries as well as your needs and goals. Then we explain the areas of law involved and what we can do for you. We are honest and up front with you about the legal process. We won't promise you an unrealistic outcome just to represent you in your case. We represent personal injury clients on a contingency basis. That means we will pay all the up-front costs and you won't pay any attorney's fees unless and until we win your case. It costs you nothing to learn if you have a valid personal injury claim.
