Personal Injury & Accident Lawyers
Were you injured in an accident?
After a serious injury caused by someone else’s negligence, you’re likely experiencing financial stress. Our legal team is here to help you recover medical expenses and lost wages.
Have you been injured? If so, you may have a personal injury case to pursue. A personal injury case is when an individual is seriously injured and can prove the injury was the result of someone else’s wrongdoing or negligence.
Unfortunately, serious injuries frequently cause pain and suffering as well as financial stress from not being able to work. There are other factors that may impact your ability to collect damages. The statute of limitations states that you can only take legal action against an individual, company, or government within a specific period following an incident. To be eligible for a settlement, you must file a claim within the statute of limitations set for the specific type of accident. You may also be entitled to Social Security disability benefits.

”It took almost two years to settle the personal injury suit. But during that entire time, they told me exactly what to expect, and it all went just as predicted. I was able to buy a house with the initial payment, and feel secure knowing I will have a steady income for the future. It’s a great relief.

Common Questions
Accidents happen every day. We’ve helped thousands of clients just like you avoid financial stress by obtaining settlements after they’ve suffered a disability caused by personal injury.
How do I know if I need a personal injury lawyer?
If you are injured in an accident, and it is due to the negligence of a business, government organization, or any insured person, that party will have claim representatives and attorneys to protect its interests. By retaining an experienced personal injury firm such as Jeffrey Freedman Attorneys PLLC, you will begin the quest to obtain fair compensation for your financial losses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
Does it matter when I contact a personal injury lawyer?
There is a statute of limitations on injury accidents that may expire if you wait too long to file a suit. Also, over time witnesses sometimes become less willing to testify on your behalf, or evidence is lost. The earlier you contact Jeffrey Freedman Attorneys PLLC, the more certain you are of receiving just compensation.
What should I do if I’m injured in a car accident?
If you sustained any injuries, seek medical attention as soon as possible. Medical documentation can be very important later on even if your injuries seem minor now. Above all, if your injuries persist, keep a diary of your medical condition and treatments. This information may be especially helpful if you decide to contact a personal injury attorney for legal assistance.
What determines the amount of my personal injury claim?
There is no standard formula for determining the value of a personal injury claim. Each person has a personal story of hardship. Your attorney at Jeffrey Freedman Attorneys PLLC will examine the injuries you have incurred, your financial losses, and how this injury will affect your future. We will take all of this into consideration before we recommend a target amount for your settlement.
How long will it take to settle my case?
When you have been injured you and your family members face many difficult challenges. However, insurance companies know claimants want to settle as early as possible and use that knowledge to negotiate low settlements. At Jeffrey Freedman Attorneys PLLC we recommend our clients do not rush to settle, and even though we obtain many satisfactory settlements out of court, we are always prepared to take your case to trial to get the compensation you deserve.
Should I report a slip and fall accident?
Yes. Just like a car accident or any other accident, documenting the incident can help you if you pursue a case and it goes to court. If you slip and fall at a business, report the incident to a manager and get documentation of the conversation in writing. If you are at work, do the same. If you are in a public place, you may want to consider contacting the police for a non-emergency report.
What steps do I take if I’m injured by a product?
First, keep as much evidence from the product as possible to establish the case. For example, if an aerosol can explodes or if a wheel falls off a bike, save as many pieces as possible. Try not to disturb the site of the accident. Take photographs of the accident, especially if you need to clean up the site.
Note the manufacturer’s name on the product, the serial number, model number, and other pertinent information. Retain the product package, the instructions, and store receipts. Take time to record exactly how you remember the accident happening, including the time and day of the event. And always keep a complete diary of medical treatments, including the name of the hospital and the doctors that administer treatment to you.
