It is common for people who have been injured to be hesitant to hire a lawyer. We talk to people all of the time who say “I don’t want to sue anyone” or are afraid of being seen as being opportunistic. The fact is, if you have been injured you are right in the middle of a legal situation whether you like it or not.

Your own health insurance will likely deny payment for medical treatment you have received insisting that it’s someone else’s fault. Hiring an injury lawyer isn’t about trying to make money. It’s about protecting yourself in the blame-game played by the insurance companies. The insurance company who will ultimately be held responsible for your injuries has a team of attorneys protecting their interests working to settle your claim for as little as possible. Having an attorney on your side simply helps protect your rights and ensure that you are treated fairly.
