     If you or someone you know has been injured in a vehicle accident, at work, or on the property of another, you may need legal representation.  This is especially true when insurance companies are involved, which is usually the case. 

     Dealing with these companies when money to compensate for an injury is at stake can be a very difficult task.  The insurance adjuster will serve the best interests of his/her employer, the insurance company.  Your best interests mean very little to the insurance company.  This holds true even if the insurance company is your own.

     Call my offices for an initial consultation with no charge to you.  We are here to help.

     The worth of your personal injury case depends on many factors.  Initially, liability of the opposing party or parties must be established.  In some cases, liability is clear.  In others, however, an experienced attorney will be needed to ascertain this aspect of a case.

     After liability is etablished, the nature and extent of the injuries suffered must be determined in order to assign a dollar value to your case.  This determination will include any emotional distress suffered, lost wages and lost time from work, medical bills and expenses, and other incidental expenses incurred.  This value is subjective in most cases, and will depend on the success of initial negotiations with the opposing party or the success at a trial of your case.
