When disaster strikes — and you or a loved one have been injured through an accident or negligence — it’s natural to hope for the best. Often this involves hoping that the party responsible for the injury will do the right thing. Unfortunately, hope alone will not protect your rights or hold negligent parties accountable.
I’ve Been Injured — What Now?
After suffering an injury, you may be surprised to find that many people are eager to talk to you. They may even promise they’re trying to help you, but do you know their true intentions? They could be trying to get you to say something that will weaken your position in a court of law or may start pressuring you to settle for less than you deserve.
