Getting legal help after a

For the last 15 years I have acted for everyday people whose lives have been turned upside down because of an accident that someone else caused.


So many of my clients often share similar anxieties and ask me - How long will this take? How much will it cost me? Do I even have a case?

What they don’t ask me, but often becomes clear and is the source of their sleepless nights, is - Will I get back on my feet again?
Whether you are the driver, passenger, pedestrian, cyclist or motorcyclist, the fact is that a road accident can be shocking and is always unexpected. We often have no issue exchanging details with the other driver and then spending the next few days dealing with insurance companies and smash repair centres. However, for some, the accident has more lasting effects even though this might not seem to be apparent immediately following the accident.
Usually, there is an initial sense of shock and an adrenalin rush that leaves you in a mindset where the only thing you want to do is get to the comfort of your own home and rest. Then, like an awful dream, you awake the next morning to such soreness that you struggle to even get out of bed.
The fact is that we live in a world where we avoid doctors’ waiting rooms unless we absolutely must and do not even think about going to the hospital unless we have broken bones or are bleeding profusely. When our bodies experience an impact, be it large or small, there are likely to be consequences and our immediate actions are vital to our better health and recovery.
I have often had clients who ignore their pain and hope that in doing so, they will make a recovery and get back to their everyday activities or their normal occupation. Taking this path can be unwise, particularly if you are experiencing nerve damage with referred pain down your legs or arms or are vulnerable to suffering from chronic pain.
Your health matters and that is exactly why your legal needs and awareness matter too, and why speaking to a personal injury lawyer is important. What I have come to learn over the years is that a person’s ability to access their legal entitlements quickly and early on also ensures they get the best treatment and that, in turn, leads to better recovery rates.

If you have been involved in a car accident and still suffer from adverse physical or psychological effects, why don’t you give me a call for free immediate legal advice? I am passionate about making sure that my clients’ journey to recovery is as easy as possible.
As an advocate for better health, I also can connect you with experienced physical therapists and imaging companies who know how to communicate your treatment needs with the insurance companies. Call me now and make it matter!
