Unfortunately, accidents involving drivers who do not have insurance are common, as millions of Americans drive without insurance 🚗 In such cases, without Uninsured Motorist Coverage (UM), the options for recourse can be severely limited. Given this risk, we strongly recommend considering UM coverage.

UM coverage is especially beneficial after hit-and-run incidents involving stolen vehicles, which are all too common. Because the driver is unknown, legal action is often not possible. In such cases, UM coverage covers medical expenses, lost wages, and other related damages, which would otherwise fall heavily on the victim.

If you have questions about uninsured motorists or about your options in accident scenarios, please don't hesitate to reach out. We are here to be a resource for you and your family.

🇺🇸 This Memorial Day, our office will be closed as we pay our respects to the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedoms. We invite you to join us in this important and solemn remembrance.

Getting into a car accident can be a pretty jarring experience. It’s not the time you want to be figuring out how to proceed.

While we hope you never need this information, we thought we’d share a few important tips in the event of an accident:

☑️ Do not admit fault. Don’t discuss the accident with anyone other than the police and your attorney.
☑️ Gather information. Get driver's license information, insurance policy information, license plate numbers, and names and contact information of the driver and witnesses.
☑️ Take photos. Take photos of the crash scene, the people and vehicles involved, and the license plates.
☑️ Never refuse medical treatment. You may not realize you're injured due to elevated adrenaline after a crash.

If you're ever in a car accident, know that we’re here to help you through the aftermath. Do you have any other tips for what to do in the event of an accident? Share them with us in the comments ⬇️

Did you know that there are 400,000 personal injury claims made each year in the United States?

Accidents are unfortunately common, and when they happen, it's crucial to know how to handle a personal injury claim. With that in mind, here are three things to remember should you need to file a claim:

⚖️ Contacting legal representation as soon as possible after an accident can prevent you from making costly mistakes. It will also be easier to recall important details soon after the accident.
⚖️ Do not sign any documents before consulting with your attorney. Insurance companies will try to engage with you directly and may not prioritize your best interests.
⚖️ Hiring specialized attorneys can increase your chances of recovering more compensation, as they have the expertise to negotiate and know the intricacies of valuing a claim.

Know that if you ever need to file a claim, our personal injury experts are here to help 🤝 In the meantime, we encourage you to share this post to spread the knowledge to your network.

Injuries happen when we least expect them. We thought we'd share a guide so you’re prepared if or when you or someone you know takes a trip down injury lane:

🏥 Seek medical attention. Any delay in going to the emergency room or a healthcare clinic could have repercussions for your health or legal case. Discuss all injuries with your doctor, even if you think they are minor, but don’t embellish or exaggerate.
🤫 Stay “mum” about your case. The only people you should discuss your case with are your doctor and your attorney. If you need to speak with an insurance agent or opposing legal counsel, your attorney should be present.
📋 Gather information about your case. Collect medical records, police reports, witness information, and photographs that document your case. You should also write a detailed account of what happened to help you recall the events later.
⚖️ Find an attorney you trust. Your health and wellbeing are primary, but once you’ve received medical attention, you may want to consider hiring legal representation. Ask family, friends, and co-workers for recommendations so you can partner with an attorney you trust who has a proven track record with personal injury cases.

Contact us if you find yourself in this situation!
