Practice areas
Injuries we help with
If you’re hurt because of someone else’s carelessness, there’s a good chance we can talk it through. If we’re not the right firm, we’ll say so.
-
Car & truck accidents
Rear-end crashes, hit-and-runs, rideshare and commercial trucks. We deal with the insurance companies so you can focus on healing.
-
Motorcycle accidents
Riders face unfair blame after a crash. We look at what really happened and who was responsible.
-
Slip & fall
Wet floors, broken stairs, poor lighting. If a property was unsafe and you were hurt, we can look at whether the owner is responsible.
-
Workplace injuries
Hurt on the job? We explain how workers’ compensation works and whether anyone else may also be responsible.
-
Medical negligence
When care falls below the standard it should meet and a patient is harmed, these cases need careful review by the right people.
-
Wrongful death
Losing someone is hard enough. We handle the legal side gently, on your timeline, and answer every question.
After an accident
What to do in the first days
You may be shaken and in pain. Here is a simple checklist. You don’t have to do it perfectly, and you don’t have to do it alone.
- Get safe and get checked
Call 911 if anyone is hurt. See a doctor the same day, even if you feel okay. Some injuries show up later.
- Document the scene
Take photos of the vehicles, the hazard, the injuries and the surroundings. Get names and numbers for witnesses.
- Exchange information, not opinions
Share names, contact and insurance details. Don’t say “I’m fine” or “it was my fault”, and don’t guess about what happened.
- Keep every record
Save medical bills, discharge papers, repair estimates and photos of your injuries as they heal. Keep a short daily note of pain and missed work.
- Talk to us before the insurer
The other side’s adjuster may call quickly and ask for a recorded statement. You can wait. A free review costs nothing and commits you to nothing.
How a case works
Four steps, explained up front
Every case moves at its own pace. This is the usual path, and we’ll tell you where you are along it.
Free case review
Tell us what happened. We listen, answer your questions and explain your options honestly, including when we aren’t the right fit.
Investigation
We gather the police report, photos, witness accounts and medical records, and work out who is responsible and why.
Demand & negotiation
We present your claim to the insurance company and negotiate. You decide whether any offer is acceptable.
Settlement or trial
Most claims resolve without a courtroom. If a fair settlement isn’t offered, we talk through filing suit and what that involves.

Questions
Before you call
How much does it cost to talk to you?
The first conversation is free. For this sample firm, we take cases on a contingency basis: no attorney fee unless we recover money for you. We explain how fees and case costs work in writing before you decide anything.
How soon should I call?
As soon as you’re able. Evidence fades, and every state sets deadlines for filing a claim. Calling doesn’t commit you to anything, and we can tell you which deadlines may apply to you.
Should I talk to the other driver’s insurance company?
You can wait. Their adjuster is working for the insurer, not for you. It’s reasonable to give basic facts, decline a recorded statement and speak with an attorney first.
What if I was partly at fault?
That doesn’t always end a claim. Rules about shared fault differ from state to state, so we look at the facts and explain how they may apply to you.
I can’t leave home or the hospital. Can you still help?
Yes. We can meet by phone or video, or come to you. Call any time, day or night.
