Personal Injury Law
If you were in a car or boating accident and have property damage and/or injury, dealing with insurance companies and getting the compensation you deserve can be stressful. Our team has the experience and reputation to get results for our clients.
What to Expect
Our pre-trial specialist, Ed van Aalten has worked in our firm for 30 years and prior to that he worked as a claims adjustor, he is highly knowledgeable in assessing your case and providing a reasonable plan to see how you might recover monetarily from the accident.
The first thing to expect is an initial consultation with the attorney and pre-trial specialist for a review of your injuries and/or damages. Because there is a time-frame on when a case can be filed, making an appointment early on in the process is important.
