As an injury lawyer, I understand that when accidents and injuries confront a family, the resulting emotional and financial consequences can turn lives upside down. At your initial consultation, I will listen closely to your story and put my 30 years of personal injury experience to work assessing your claim. If I accept your case, I work to develop a creative case strategy to be as compelling and persuasive as possible.

Maximum Medical Improvement

I will make sure you understand the legal issues involved and that you are prepared to effectively deal with the doctors and other medical professionals that you will encounter during the period of your medical treatment. When your physicians have determined you have reached "maximum medical improvement," I will obtain a final report from your physician. I will then consult with you and prepare an individualized, detailed, written demand for fair compensation to the insurance company. I know how insurance companies process claims and how to work around the clerks they assign to deny claims. I will try to move your case along as fast as is reasonably possible.

Settlement or Litigation?

Reasonable settlements are more likely when a case has been well prepared and well presented. However, insurance companies are often unreasonable, and it may become necessary to file a lawsuit. Settlements may occur after a suit is filed and, in some cases, may become more likely because the suit was filed. Sometimes settlements occur on the steps of the courthouse. Obtaining compensation sooner and avoiding the costs of a trial can have advantages, but I move aggressively to protect your interests by a jury trial when necessary.
