Protecting You After Injury
If you are injured in an accident that is caused by someone else, it’s understandable that you expect the at-fault party’s insurance company to cover your medical costs, lost wages if you’re unable to work and other expenses related to the accident.
Unfortunately, insurance companies don’t always cooperate. They are in business to make money. As a result, they may attempt to settle your claim for far less than you deserve, or deny it altogether.
Having worked with insurance companies early in my career, I understand the tactics that these companies use to try and minimize payment.
Though a trial isn’t always necessary, I am always prepared to take a case to trial if a fair agreement cannot be reached through negotiation. It is important that insurance companies know this.
My commitment to my clients has earned me a reputation as a tough negotiator who will not settle for less than what each client deserves.
I work all injury cases on a contingency fee basis, which means we will only get paid if we help you obtain a recovery, either through negotiation or a court verdict.
