You did not choose to be a victim, and probably never wanted to need a lawyer or become involved in a legal claim. But if you are injured or a family member was injured, you now may have no choice.
Very important legal rights are involved, and it just makes sense to seek qualified legal help.
After an accident, you may at some point meet a representative of your insurance company or that of the other party involved, to discuss settling your claim. These representatives - called adjusters - are trained professionals. They are skilled at talking injured parties into settlements.
While the adjusters look out for the interests of the insurance company, Rosen & Shapiro will look out for your interests alone.
You may be asking yourself: "Why can't I just take what the insurance company offers me and put this incident behind me?"
It's tempting to take an offer. But taking an inadequate or unfair amount will not put the accident or act of negligence behind you. It will only leave you less able to handle the continuing pain and other possible complications.
Unless you are an experienced lawyer, it is difficult to value a case or know how much the insurance company should and will pay.
Rosen & Shapiro can help you answer these questions. This incident may affect you for the rest of your life. We suggest that you don't make a hasty decision. There is no charge for our initial consultation and if you don't make a money recovery you pay no legal fee.
