WHY RETAIN GRIBOW/A LAWYER?

 

21 Reasons to Retain an Accident Lawyer:

  1. Advise and make recommendations that empowers you to make correct decisions.
  2. Prepare and investigate your case, so you can use your energy to recover from injuries.
  3. Stop Adjusters calls, freeing you from the stress of dealing with the insurance adjuster/lawyers who represent the Defendant.
  4. Get a Body Shop
  5. Help with Lien Medical Treatment
  6. Get the Police Report
  7. Pay Costs
  8. Advise what you should and should not post on social media about the accident, your injuries, your damages and your activities on any social media sites, such as FB, Twitter (X) and LinkedIn. That usually means taking down all social media.
  9. Investigate and collect all evidence and information needed to process your claims and develop your case.
  10. Find all available insurance coverage, evaluate it and get you the benefits due to you.
  11. Find the quickest way of getting your medical bills paid and ensure that the companies pay those bills on time.
  12. Protect you from medical office creditors during the claims process.
  13. Answer your questions throughout the process.
  14. Evaluate evidence and estimate value with a jury vs settlement through negotiation/mediation/arbitration.
  15. Advise whether to accept offers or counteroffer.
  16. Decide how much money should be spent going to court, based on the likely outcome
  17. Negotiate settlement with insurance companies involved to get all benefits due to you
  18. Prepare for trial and try the case to a judge or jury…if no good offer. 
  19. Most importantly, you need a lawyer who can assist local CV Doctors who were not taught How to Write a Med/Legal Report in their Medical School. As a Faculty Member of the International College of Orthopedic Surgeons annual Beverly Hills conference, GRIBOW taught doctors “How to Write a Med/Legal Report” that maximized the value of an accident case. Each doctor was given his 50 page Treating Physicians Manual, providing an “Update on the Management of Back Pain and Back Injury”.
  20. Accident Cases: only retain someone who has also been Accident Victim and walked in your shoes. DON’T LET ANYONE WHO HASN’T BEEN IN YOUR SHOES, TELL YOU HOW TO TIE YOUR LACES!
  21. Guide you and your doctors: For instance, when describing your injuries, it’s best not to say “I can’t do…” Instead consider, “It Hurts when I try to…”; “I am not able to do it as well”.  The Medical Report arguably should read, there is a 50% chance, the patient will not make a full recovery, rather than a 50% chance of a full recovery.
