How Soon After the Accident Should I Hire an Attorney?

May 14 2014 / By Scott Odierno

more

Accidents can wreak havoc on the lives of victims. Other than receiving immediate medical attention for your injuries, there is nothing more important that retaining legal counsel. If you have been injured in an accident or had a loved one die as a result of another person’s negligent actions, we recommend you waste no time in hiring a personal injury attorney in Long Island to represent your case.

Do not agree to a settlement, sign any documents or accept a payout amount before you have spoken to your attorney. Insurance companies can sometimes be quick to offer lowball settlements in the hopes you will agree to accept a payout far below what you may be eligible to receive. In other instances, an insurance company may attempt to unnecessarily delay or deny a valid claim. Going up against a large insurance company is not a simple task.

We have found insurance companies are generally more willing to offer just settlements or negotiate reasonable claims when clients have hired an aggressive attorney to fight on their behalf. We at The Odierno Law Firm, P.C. understand the devastation that can be caused by an accident, whether it be a car accident, bicycle accident, motorcycle accident or any other type of accident.

We are committed to doing everything we can to help you hold the responsible party liable for his or her actions. Our advocacy can also help you maximize your claim so that you may have financial means necessary to facilitate your recovery. When you seek counsel from a Long Island personal injury attorney at our firm, we will be able to advise you of your legal rights, help you gather the evidence to substantiate your claim and advise you on how to move forward with your case.

If you have been injured in an accident, contact our law firm at once.
