Free Legal Evaluation

Over the past 40 years as a lawyer, I have often had people say to me, "Do you have any idea of what it is like to be in an accident, to experience what your clients experience?" And I say to people "yes," I have had that experience. Having been hurt in two accidents in just the past couple of years, I understand the fear and worry people feel when they are injured.

A couple of years ago I was sitting down to have breakfast with my wife, the chair broke, and I fell to the floor. My neck was hurt and I couldn't move. I remember that when the ambulance was called and the paramedics immobilized me, I was extremely scared and did not know what to expect. The good news for me was that I was okay, but the experience made me understand the apprehension and anxiety that people who have been seriously injured in an accident must feel.

More recently I was running, and I fell and lacerated my knee down to the bone. I had to be taken to the hospital in an ambulance and once again I was very, very frightened. I have been extremely lucky because I could have been more seriously injured in both instances, but because of those experiences, I realize how frightening it is to be injured in an accident.

There are so many emotional, physical, and practical concerns that come with being injured, and I'm very proud to say that we have a caring and compassionate legal team that works hard to remove as many of these stresses as possible. The only thing we want our clients to focus on after an injury is what is most important – getting better.
