PERSONAL INJURY
We have always told prospective clients that the sooner we get involved, the better. Hiring an attorney does not mean the case will go to trial. Approximately 90% of personal injury cases will settle without having to file a lawsuit. There are many important early questions and decisions to make for an injured person to consider including:

1. Which insurance coverages are available?
2. How do I complete accident or injury reports?
3. Should I give the adjuster a statement?
4. What doctor is best suited to treat my type of injury?
5. Should I take photographs of my injuries or of the accident scene?
6. Which insurance company should pay for my medical bills?
7. What evidence must I begin compiling to prove my claims?
8. What defenses will the insurance company try to use against me?
