Richard M. Freeman - Attorney at Law        

After an innocent victim is injured through no fault on his or her part, insurance companies may try to reach that person to offer some “quick money”.  More often than not, the so-called "quick money" is offered before the individual has completed a course of treatment and therefore, before the individual really knows the full extent of his or her medical condition.  It is wise to consult with an attorney so that this does not happen.  

Your consulting with an attorney will protect your rights in that the attorney will not recommend any type of settlement until you have completed your medical treatment and the full extent of your injury is determined.  Of course, you can appreciate that a person with an injury that is permanent is entitled to  greater compensation than one whose injury is not. 

Regarding automobile injury claims, there is the issue of settling the property damage and also allowing for a period of time when the innocent victim is entitled to receive a rental car until his or her car is fixed.  Even with this issue, effective legal representation can insure that your rights are protected. 

Attorney Freeman will provide you with a high level of personal service, will return all your phone calls and will patiently explain to you what your rights are at the various stages of a personal injury matter.  He will also monitor that your health insurance or your auto medical insurance carrier will pay all bills promptly so that you will not be bothered by the medical providers for outstanding bills.  These are detailed matters that Attorney Freeman will assist you with and which are a necessary part of the process in handling a personal injury claim. 

Again, please beware of any insurance adjusters trying to get you to settle your case before the full extent of your medical condition is known.  Even if an adjuster tries to make you an offer after you have completed treatment, these offers are usually much less than those offers made to victims who have legal representation.

Before signing any documents, contact an attorney.  It is important that you have legal guidance from the beginning of the process.  For more information, you can contact Attorney Freeman at rmf@attorney-legal.com.
