Following an accident, many insurance companies will attempt to convince you to settle your claim quickly. This is almost always a bad idea. In many instances, the settlement an insurance company offers will not take into account the future implications of your injury. Or, the settlement may contain language releasing rights you don’t even yet fully understand. The best practice is to not sign any documentation until you meet with us, and we’ve had a chance to review the paperwork with you.

Our firm will immediately investigate your accident and all of the factors that might have contributed to it. We will interview witnesses, preserve any evidence and document the scene of the accident. Our lawyers will work closely with expert consultants such as engineers to determine the cause of the accident and medical professionals to determine if there are life-altering aspects to your injury, such as rehabilitation expenses, physical therapy or follow-up treatments. Our goal is to ensure your well-being both medically and financially.
