What are some things I need to do to protect my legal rights?

To protect your legal rights, you must document all injuries and losses. You must also gather evidence to prove that the defendant’s actions caused your harm.

Calling the police right after an accident and taking pictures at the scene are good steps to take to provide invaluable information on the cause of your injury. Detailed medical records and information on missed work are also important evidence.

Finally, hiring an attorney is one of the most important things to do to protect your rights.  For instance, at Salvi, Schostok & Pritchard P.C., we provide free initial consultations. You can schedule one by simply calling us or contacting us online.

We use these consultations to learn more about the facts of your case and to help you understand your legal options. If we take on your case, we can then provide legal assistance that includes:

• Making sure your claim is filed on time.
• Protecting your rights when dealing with insurance companies.
• Fighting to seek the compensation you deserve.

With our legal skill, experience and resources, we believe we can play a major role in helping you and your family to recover from an accident and move on with your lives.

Most injury cases begin with settlement negotiations with the at-fault party’s insurance company. If no settlement is reached, the case goes to trial. At each stage, it helps to have someone with experience on your side.

At Salvi, Schostok & Pritchard P.C., we have years of experience with presenting injury claims to insurance companies and arguing cases before juries. We know what makes a case a strong one and how to build on those strengths.
