FAQs
Do I have to 'sue' someone in order
to recover for my injuries?
No. That decision is yours to make. Generally, we can work with your insurance company to obtain a settlement for your injuries. Unfortunately, it is not usual for insurance companies to offer offensively low amounts to resolve your claim which results in you having to make a difficult decision about whether or not you want to sue the other driver.
Even if you decide to sue the other driver, it does not necessarily mean that your case will go to trial. Often times issues are hashed out and determined before trial which allows the insurer to make a much more reasonable offer to settle your claim.
I've been in a collision, what should I do?
The first thing you need to do is to exchange contact and insurance information with the other driver(s). This is a vital first step because if you had the opportunity to get the other persons information and you do not, you may be barred from obtaining a recovery for your pain and suffering.
Once you have the other party's information, you should notify both your insurance company and their insurance company that there has been a collision and then call me as soon as possible.

I love meeting new people and helping them.
I have always loved history, especially government. Reading case law is like reading a good book!
I have worked as a paralegal for over 20 years, and I still love it! Whether our clients are happy that we were able to draft an estate plan before their vacation, or grateful for a settlement in a personal injury case, the smiles on their faces make me smile!
I am a musician playing trumpet, fiddle, concertina, and drums in a polka band. I love entertaining and making people smile. I also enjoy scrapbooking and traveling
