Why hire a Personal Injury Attorney to Handle Your Case

The goal of our law firm is to ensure you receive the highest possible compensation for your injuries.  Shuttle bus insurance carriers often engage in bad faith insurance practices denying or delaying rightful claims from injured passengers. Insurance Companies Try to Reduce the Compensation You Deserve:  The job of insurance adjusters is to lower your right to compensation for your injuries and property damage.  Non-lawyers simply do not have the leverage to bargain with astute insurance companies determined to lower their liability.  Insurance companies find any reason they can to not pay the money they own on their policy.  Insurance companies understand that individuals can be intimidated by legal jargon and inability to understand the complexities of the law.
