Pain and Suffering?

What is legal PAIN AND SUFFERING?  It is just what is sounds like!!!  But, it's not quite so simple.  Let's take PAIN, for example. What kind of pain (one size does NOT fit all)?  Is it SHARP, THROBBING, DULL, ACHING, STABBING, BURNING???   

Each word paints a different picture, doesn't it! 

Is it CONSTANT, INTERMITTENT, UNRELENTING or only TEMPORARY??? See the difference a word  makes?  Is it GONE, or does it "come back" when  you WALK, BEND, STOOP, EXERT, PULL, PUSH, OR LIFT?      

Think about it before you answer a question from an insurance adjuster who wants to take your statement!  The way you describe it MATTERS and can affect your case.       

BETTER YET -- CALL US FIRST -- we do this everyday and help injured people get the best settlements for their claims.

Will Money Make My Injury "Right?"

No, but it may very well make going through such a bad time BETTER than not making a claim.  When you are hurt by a careless driver, their insurance company must set up an account in your name if you are hurt.  They will not and are not required to tell you, even if you use us as your attorneys, how much is put in that account.  It is done by state law to make sure that the insurance company has funds to pay you if you make the claim.  And it is held until the time limit for making your claim expires.  

If you make no claim in the time to do so, that money is released to use by the insurance company and nothing goes to you.  

Is it better for the injured person to receive these funds, or the stockholders and management of the insurance co to have them?  You decide.     

If you want us to make a claim, we have over 100 years combined experience and are happy to do so on your behalf.  Because, we think the injured folks should be fairly compensated and insurance companies not given a "windfall" at an injured person's expense.
