Q. Is there any way I can get someone outside my family who has car insurance to help me get my victims relief payments ?
A: When determining which insurance may apply to your particular crash, it is very important to understand the circumstances of how the crash occurred. For example, were you a passenger or the driver? Was the car you were in your car or someone else's? We would be happy to discuss the facts of your case at no cost. Call us for a free consultation.
Q. Can i do a law suit when i fell at mcdonald's a few years back now i have back problems and need injections every year?
A: The answer to your question will depend on the specifics of your case, including how old you were at the time and what state you live in. I would suggest contacting an attorney where you live or in the state where you were injured. Best of luck!
Q. My wife was in a car accident in Jan 2020 where the other driver ran a red light and was cited. She hasn't worked since,
A: I am sorry to hear bc snout you’re wife’s injuries. Maximum medical improvement (MMI) is not a prerequisite to resolve your wife’s claim. However, a good personal injury lawyer will want to make sure that if your wife has long term/permanent impairments, a poor prognosis for recovery, and an ongoing need for future treatment, those issues are fully understood before resolving her case. If those details are unclear from the records, which is often the case, your attorney should meet with one or more of your wife’s providers to get a narrative report(s) addressing those issues so the can be accounted for in determining what is “full compensation “ for her injuries.

We would certainly be happy to discuss this further and share our opinions with you on Monday. ... Read More
