Filing a personal injury claim isn’t something anyone should take lightly. This is because it is important to consider the consequences of doing so as well as the impact this action may have on your life going forward. That said, a lot of would-be clients come to us with horror stories about how they heard about their cousin’s neighbor’s grandmother became a pariah, single and unemployable after filing a personal injury claim after slipping and falling at the local Wal-Mart.

These horror stories are more often figments of the collective society’s imagination and act as a deterrent for people who are looking to file a legal claim who then go on to regret much later on when their injuries become unbearable or last for months and even years before they are strongarmed by the insurance company to accept a paltry payout.

Our success when it comes to winning claims is rooted in a number of factors such as the fact that we personally handle and process all claims from start to finish and do not shunt the job over to paralegals or legal assistants as is often seen in most law firms, we have innumerable years of experience handling insurance company requests and denials and know all the tricks they may employ to deny a claim.

In addition, we are also not afraid to litigate claims in a court of law should it come to that, as more often than not, taking a well-prepared case to court so a judge and jury can rule on the same can end in a judgment of maximum compensation for the client; however, most law firms simply opt to engage the insurance company in settlement negotiations which often end in a paltry payout due to the skewed balance of power.

In addition to having nationwide reach thanks to our trusted network of attorneys and law firms, we also run a bilingual firm (hablamos Español), and we take on all cases on contingency fee basis, which simply means that there are ZERO UPFRONT FEES for the duration of the processing of the claim, as we only levy our fees at the end of the suit, and only after we’ve recovered compensation on your behalf.

Why Fears Surrounding Filing a Personal Injury Claim are Unfounded

The fear of unforeseen negative consequences is part of the human psyche and something we all go through at one point in our lives. If this is your first time considering filing an injury claim, you may worry about a plethora of imaginary monsters such as losing your good standing or reputation in the community by being seen as overly litigious, losing your employment because your employer may view you as a liability, and even public scrutiny where you envision your life becoming gossip fodder or being dissected by the media for public consumption.

As a realistic and prudent law firm, we will not discount the fact that some of your fears are valid. We however opt to acknowledge and face them head-on and implement strategies that are proactive with the end goal of protecting your life and future.

Some of the strategies we employ include:

1. Pre-litigation Counseling and Risk Assessment – We shall have an initial consultation and talk about the circumstances surrounding your case as well as the potential non-legal consequences of filing a lawsuit in order to prepare you, as well as inform you of the facts at hand. We will also create a defendant profile – if they are a public entity, a large corporation, or a well-known individual, we shall have to adjust our legal strategies to match the risk profile. In addition, we shall take into account your professional judgment and the specific sensitivities regarding your position and the consequences of legal action. Lastly, we shall go over the basics of attorney-client privilege, which will demonstrate that your information is protected, and that should any information be at risk of becoming public, we may institute certain orders in order to seal information from public access.
2. Strategic Communication and Reputation Management – We shall engage you in some media training so you can control the narrative, such as what and when to say anything publicly or on social media. In addition, we shall shield you from direct contact with the opposing party by having them go through us, your attorneys, so you’re shielded from any underhanded or manipulative machinations. We shall also explain the strict ethical rules we must abide by as attorneys, including the opposing counsel regarding intimidation, harassment, or disparagement, as these actions may lead to severe professional repercussions
3. Protecting Your Professional Standing – We will also provide you with resources on employment contracts, company policies regarding legal action, as well as union agreements. In some instances, we shall, at your behest, communicate with your employer regarding the nature of the lawsuit as well as your rights surrounding the whole matter. Lastly, should your employer choose to retaliate, we can help you formulate a legal gameplan against them, which is usually a separate manner from your original claim.
