Why Hire an Accident Lawyer?

Our attorneys hear, on an almost daily basis, "I have insurance, I don't need an attorney," but the truth is, you may not WANT an accident attorney, but you are certainly going to NEED an accident attorney if you want to get the full amount of compensation you deserve after being injured in an accident.

Here are few reasons why you should at least consult with our experienced accident lawyers after being injured an a car crash:

1. It has been proven that personal injury victims obtain far more money once they hire an attorney
2. Our accident injury attorneys work on a contingency fee basis which means our representation to you is completely free until we win your case, and even then you won't be paying us out of your own pocket, we'll actually be paying you the money you deserve. 
3. Insurance companies job's are to pay you the least amount possible to settle your claim so even though they may offer a quick settlement, it more often than not is not a fair amount.
4. Insurance companies offer the least amount of money to settle a claim and if that offer is not accepted, they purposely drag out the claim to delay paying their clients the money they deserve.
5. Sixteen percent of adults have experienced financial hardship while waiting for a claim to be settled. Don't let this happen to you!

Another reason to consult with our accident lawyers? Aside from our contingency fee representation, we also offer free consultations and our attorneys are on-call 24/7. We're available when you need us, so why not give us a call?

The sooner you contact our accident attorneys, the sooner we can help you get the compensation you deserve after being injured as a result of someone else's careless driving and mistake. You can reach our attorneys at 1-800-444-5309, or you can email us directly from our website.

The First Snow of the Season..

While driving into work today we sadly saw many accidents, and heard of many more from friends and family that were traveling as well. With today being the first day we've had a significant amount of winter weather in our area, we feel it's a good time to remind everyone of the importance of safe driving in winter weather conditions.

The weather channel (weather.com) has a great list of tips for driving in winter weather conditions, we listed the general driving points below for your convenience, however for more tips on what to do if you become victim of winter weather, and to see the full list, click here:

1. Decrease your speed and leave yourself plenty of room to stop. You should allow at least three times more space than usual between you and the car in front of you.
2. Brake gently to avoid skidding. If your wheels start to lock up, ease off the brake.
3. Turn on your lights to increase your visibility to other motorists.
4. Keep your lights and windshield clean.
5. Use low gears to keep traction, especially on hills.
6. Don't use cruise control or overdrive on icy roads.
7. Be especially careful on bridges, overpasses and infrequently traveled roads, which will freeze first. Even at temperatures above freezing, if the conditions are wet, you might encounter ice in shady areas or on exposed roadways like bridges.
8. Don't pass snow plows and sanding trucks. The drivers have limited visibility, and you're likely to find the road in front of them worse than the road behind.
9. Don't assume your vehicle can handle all conditions. Even four-wheel and front-wheel drive vehicles can encounter trouble on winter roads.

If you do experience a collision as a result of the weather, please, call us so we can help. Depending on the circumstances of the collision, you or your loved one may be eligible for compensation. A common question most people have after an accident is, do you need an auto accident attorney? This area of law is very complicated; there are exceptions and technicalities that if you do not know the law can cost you hundreds of thousands of dollars. This is why it is imperative you consult with an experienced auto accident attorney at The Pisanchyn Law Firm to guide you through your claim.
