Your local lawyer is interested in the best outcome possible, not funding a gigantic advertising bill coming due by settling cases short. If a bigger or more specialized law firm or lawyer should be associated or even take over the case, your local lawyer will know who to refer you to. And guess what? The specialized, "magic touch" lawyers don't advertise much if at all, they work cases referred to them by ... a local lawyer of course!

Most car accidents are no injury or minor injury collisions. Sometimes someone involved in a high-speed crash, pumped with adrenalin, will report ‘NO INJURY initially, only to later feel lousy and seek medical attention.

A high-speed collision is one where the impact is just enough to crush a bumper, perhaps as low as 8 mph. Even a small fraction ...Continue reading
