WE FIGHT FOR THE HIGHEST POSSIBLE RECOVERY FROM INSURANCE COMPANIES
If you, or a family member, have recently suffered injuries, that might be attributable to someone else’s fault, you should contact a law firm that concentrates in practicing personal injury law.
Law Offices of Burg & Brock (a Professional Law Corporation) is a law firm that over the years has devoted its efforts and resources to the representation of injured people and their families on matters involving solely personal injury.
YOUR LEGAL RIGHT TO COLLECT
You should not feel as if you are creating a burden to society by pursuing a lawsuit against someone at fault for your injuries. On the contrary, this right of seeking compensation for injuries has been a part of the American legal system since the founding of our country and the writing of our Constitution.
If you are injured by another’s fault and do not pursue a legal action, that person’s or corporation’s insurance company will happily record YOUR sum as an addition to their net income.
CLIENT SATISFACTION
Despite representing a vast number of clients, we take pride in NOT becoming a personal injury firm that represents more clients than it can handle at any given time. Unlike many law firms who will accept any case that “comes through the door,” we maintain our credibility with insurance companies, judges, and juries, by accepting cases that involve legitimate issues of negligence. Our “legitimacy” test is not based on the potential dollar value of the case, but rather focuses on the underlying legal issues. By implementing this analysis, we ensure that our clients receive the same quality representation whether their case is worth thousands of dollars or millions.
AREAS OF EXPERTISE
Except for a few exceptions, attorneys do not specialize in certain areas of law the way that doctors do. All attorneys in California take the same bar examination. There are very few ways for an attorney to be an official specialist (patent lawyers are one exception.) However, this does not mean that attorneys do not have their particular areas of expertise.
PERSONAL INJURY LAW & THE ATTORNEY
Personal Injury Laws are diverse and the laws that apply to each area are often complicated.
• Personal Injury Law demands that the attorney has considerable medical knowledge as well as legal knowledge, in order to understand the ramifications of the client’s traumatic injuries & maximize the case.
• Knowledge of experts in each area of personal injury law is essential to pursue the interests of the client.
• The attorney must consider the welfare and future needs of the client and pursue the legal remedies to secure the client’s future needs.
In addition, an attorney may be required to make painstaking efforts to locate and pursue insurance coverage that will provide adequate compensation for the plaintiffs injuries and damages.
PERSONAL INJURY ATTORNEYS ARE NOT ALWAYS TRIAL LAWYERS
When considering hiring an attorney for your personal injury case, you should consider the lawyer’s length of experience in personal injury law and experience at trial. Not all personal injury lawyers are trial lawyers. Many personal injury attorneys who advertise are simply lawyers who are able to “settle” cases without going to trial. In the event that the case didn’t “settle”, and a trial was necessary, then this personal injury lawyer will have to find a personal injury trial lawyer. Be sure to interview the personal injury lawyer you are considering and ask to see his Trial Verdicts & Settlements results.
PAYING FOR AN ATTORNEY
Attorneys can be very expensive. Hourly rates of $300.00 per hour are not unusual. It can cost tens and hundreds of thousands of dollars to take a case to trial. Many people who have been injured cannot afford this. Often, they have severe medical problems which prevent them from working and therefore have no income. Often, even if they won they would recover too little to make getting a lawyer worthwhile. A common solution is the “contingency fee “.
