A skilled attorney is required in order to collect just compensation for victims of injuries or family of persons killed due to the negligence of another or others.
Most personal injury or wrongful death cases are handled by lawyers on a contingent fee basis which means the attorney is paid from the proceeds the attorney recovers for the client by the attorney’s services and is not paid by the client – no recover, no fee.
If you are an injury victim or a family member of a person killed by the negligence or willful act of another you should contact an attorney as soon as possible (the initial consultation is free) and prior to being interviewed by an insurance claims adjuster for an attorney evaluation of your claim and to determine how you need to proceed in order to receive fair compensation for your injury or the wrongful death.
Insurance companies are in business to collect the most in premiums and pay the least in claims as possible in order to maximize their profits. Typically a person who is injured in an accident may not know the full nature and extent of their injury for up to 6 months after the occurrence and in the meantime if the victim settles their case with the insurance company and signs a liability release for the insurance adjuster they may be forced to pay for unexpected medical treatment and unreimbursed expenses.
