    In our jurisdiction, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is one year from the date of the incident. It's crucial to initiate your claim within this timeframe to preserve your legal rights.
  • What should I do immediately after an accident?

    Following an accident, it's essential to document the scene by taking photographs. Contact our office promptly for guidance. Refrain from communicating with any insurance representatives until you've consulted with one of our attorneys.

    We strongly advise against accepting any settlement offer without first seeking legal counsel. Our attorneys can evaluate the offer and ensure it adequately compensates you for your injuries and losses.
  • If I have been charged with a crime, what should I do?

    If you're facing criminal charges, it's imperative to exercise your constitutional right to remain silent. Refrain from engaging in any discussions with law enforcement until you have legal representation present.
  • What types of damages can I recover in a personal injury case?

    Recoverable damages in personal injury cases may include medical expenses, compensation for physical and emotional suffering, loss of life enjoyment, disfigurement, reduced earning capacity, and compensation for permanent injuries. Our legal team can provide comprehensive guidance on pursuing these damages.
  • Should I talk to the police without a lawyer present?

    We advise against speaking to law enforcement without legal representation, regardless of whether you've been formally charged or convicted. It's in your best interest to consult with an attorney before engaging in any discussions with the police.
