Personal Injury
Personal injury law deals with physical, mental or emotional injury caused by the negligence of another person. Many times people call us and say, “We were hesitant to call since we don’t know if we have a case.” Calling us is the first step in understanding whether you have a case and it does not cost you a dime.
As a dedicated law firm, we are able to take the time necessary to thoroughly evaluate your accident and put the time and resources into building a strong personal injury case. This involves hiring accident reconstruction experts and medical professionals who can testify on how the accident occurred and the extent of the injuries. Additionally, we look beyond the medical records to show how the accident injury affected our clients’ lives. Our goal is to show the insurance companies that our clients are suffering with real injuries and need the money to rebuild their lives.
Collections
Now more than ever, you and your company need to stay on top of accounts receivable to maintain cash flow and remain competitive. We can help you focus on delinquent accounts and turn slow-paying or no-paying accounts into money. We do not believe in letting delinquent accounts languish. Success is best achieved when creditors move quickly to collect monies that are owed.
In commercial debt scenarios, our standard practice is to make a quick demand for payment accompanied by a summons and draft civil complaint. If that demand is not met or satisfactory repayment terms are otherwise not reached within the specific time-frame, we file suit quickly. The chances of successful collection do not generally increase with time, and therefore, our clients are best served when we are apprised quickly of delinquent debt. Thereafter, our priority is to address the matter timely. Where lien rights exist, delay can be fatal to your claim. Call us to see how we can help with the collection of your delinquent accounts.
