SOME STRAIGHT TALK ABOUT PERSONAL INJURY LAWYERS

I hope you have had a chance to read my recent article, “Working with a Personal Injury Lawyer.” As a Seattle, Washington personal injury lawyer, I encounter a lot of misconceptions about what I do and about what being a personal injury lawyer is all about, and I felt it was important to detail a few facts about my profession.

First and foremost, I’m not an “ambulance-chaser.” I encourage people who have been in an auto accident or have a potential personal injury case to make sure they actually need a lawyer. Sometimes, my services are not needed and I’m happy to make them aware of that fact. I also encourage potential clients to think long and hard about their options and choose the one that’s in their best interests.

The fact is, however, that I like to help the underdog. Big companies and large insurance companies are often anxious to avoid paying their fair share in a valid personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit. It’s my job to help the average person prevail against these massive, well-funded companies – when those companies are in the wrong.

An auto accident or personal injury incident can be a traumatic event in a person’s life. They can end up losing valuable work time – or even their entire job. Medical bills, as we’re all well aware, can also be overwhelming and break people financially. In short, it can end up being a very negative turning point in someone’s life – one they could have an incredibly difficult time recovering from.

That’s why personal injury and wrongful death lawsuits exist. The laws were created to serve and protect us all from being wronged – and no one should feel afraid or ashamed to utilize those laws on their behalf. I have no problem being as aggressive as possible to protect my clients’ rights and ensure they receive their due. Why? Because I know the other side will be just as aggressive in fighting legitimate claims – and it’s the only way to guarantee a fair outcome.

As you can see, I try to tell it like it is – and that’s why my website is called “Straight Talk Law!”
