If you’ve been in a car wreck, a fall, or another accident:

​

• Get medical help first. Even if you feel fine, injuries can show up later.
• Take photos. Document the scene, your injuries, and anything else that could be important.
• Get names and contact information. Witnesses can be critical later.
• Don’t post about it online. Insurance companies and opposing attorneys watch social media.
• Call an attorney. A quick call can help you avoid mistakes early on.

A personal injury claim helps you recover damages after someone else’s negligence causes you harm.
You can usually seek compensation for:

​

• Medical expenses (current and future)
• Lost wages or reduced earning ability
• Pain and suffering
• Emotional distress
• Property damage (in auto accident cases)

​

Important: There are strict deadlines called statutes of limitations. If you wait too long, you lose the right to file a claim.

Insurance adjusters are trained to settle claims quickly and for as little as possible.

Remember:

 

• You are not required to give a recorded statement without a lawyer.

• You don’t have to accept the first offer they make.

• Once you settle, you can’t go back for more—even if your injuries get worse.

 

Talking to a lawyer before you deal with insurance companies can make a big difference.

Starting a new business?

An LLC or corporation can:

 

• Protect your personal assets if something goes wrong

• Make it easier to raise money

• Give you more credibility with customers and vendors

 

Proper formation documents and contracts help prevent costly problems later.

If you or someone you care about is charged with DUI or Minor in Possession:

​

• Stay calm and polite with law enforcement.
• Do not admit guilt.
• Call an attorney immediately.
• Even a first offense can have long-term consequences for work, school, and driving privileges.
