The Insurance Company Said I Don’t Need To Hire A Lawyer. Is This True?
Answer
Unfortunately, insurance companies primarily focus on the bottom line. In addition, they do not take into consideration the long term effects of your injuries. The settlement they offer you will not cover all of the costs of your injuries. Speak with our trusted lawyer to establish your benefits and compensation.
-
What Is The Statute Of Limitations?
Answer
After being injured, we encourage you to take swift action in securing legal counsel. If you exceed the statute of limitations for filling your personal injury claim, you will likely not secure the settlement you deserve.
