According to the National Safety Council, accidents in the U.S. kill two people and injure 330 others every ten minutes. Rarely do we encounter someone who ever thought they would be the ones confronting the life changing events that accompany a serious injury. Making it through the first round of emergency care, the strain of employment disruption, or the change in family plans or the loss of a loved one are often times only the beginning. Bills pile up, relationships are strained because of pain and disability, dealing with wrecked vehicles and loss of income all add to the stress associated with the unexpected personal injury. We are here to help.
Most often, we are dealing with insurance claims. Insurance is there to help those individuals who are the victims of an injury caused by someone else's negligence. When people pay their insurance, the funds are held in a pool and is there to protect an individual who suffers injury and loss.
