You may not need any attorney, depending upon the facts of your case.
If you are seriously injured in an automobile, truck, motorcycle or any other
type accident, talk to our Accident Lawyer to see if you are entitled to financial
compensation for your injuries, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
Dealing with adjusters, investigators, and the court system can be overwhelming.
You need to know you rights and you need a competent legal evaluation of your
case. An accident effects your entire family. You may be unable to work,
preventing you from working, caring for your family, or paying your bills.
There are steps that you need to take immediately after the accident or personal
injury to protect your rights. We are here to help you to look out for yourself and
your family.
When accidents and injuries occur, you may face loss of income and fall behind on
your bills. If you do not have adequate health insurance, you will face a mounting
pile of medical bills as well, resulting in debt collection and impaired credit. Or
worse, you may have limited or no access to necessary medical treatment. Our
accident lawyer can advise you of your rights and options to help you get your life
back on track and provide peace of mind for you and your family.
We will help you through the maze of the law and treat you with the respect and
dignity that you deserve after an accident. This can be a scary and trying time, and
we will do our best to help ease that burden for you and your family. One of the
most important things to remember regarding an injury claim, whether it is
disability, workers' compensation or accident is medical documentation. Quite
often a claim is denied or underpaid because the claimant can't document their
medical condition or injuries.

your injuries, lost wages, pain and suffering, and future medical expenses. We will examine
all of the conditions surrounding your case in order to determine the worth. We study every

A. You must file your case within the Statute of Limitations, a fixed period of time
dictated by the law. In many injury cases you are required to bring your case within two or
three years from the date of the event that caused the injury. For an explanation of these
time limits, always consult with a lawyer experienced in these matters.
Q. Can I change my lawyer?
A. Yes, you ave the right to change attorneys.
Q. Should I get a second opinion if an attorney thinks I do not have a case?
A. Yes. Different lawyers will see a potential case differently. Some lawyers may not be
familiar with the type of case you have. If a lawyer rejects your case, it is always a good idea
to seek a second opinion.
Q. An insurance adjuster wants to settle and says I do not need lawyer. Should
I get one?
Remember: the adjuster works for the insurance company. Their goal is to settle your case
for the least amount of money possible. What may seem like a fair offer to you could fall far
short of any amount of money settled through a lawyer. In minor accident cases, you may be
able to resolve your case with the adjuster, however, with serious injuries it is a good idea to
consult with an attorney at the Metts Law Firm before accepting any offer.
