Absolutely! An award winning Palm Desert PI/Car Accident Lawyer, makes a difference because “facts are open to interpretation.” A good lawyer doesn’t make up facts. S/he makes the difference…interpreting the facts. The defense insurance company argues, the Victim’s prior injuries/medical bills, aren’t from this crash, blaming the pain on past medical issues. An elite trial lawyer responds, it’s not a coincidence the “crash” (not traffic accident) reactivated symptoms or created new ones.
Without an ER visit, the insurance company argues, “Your client wasn’t hurt.” A good trial lawyer argues…a non-medical emergency, doesn’t mean there was no injury.
The insurance company believes a “gap in treatment,” means the injuries were faked. A competent trial lawyer says, no cure, doesn't mean there is no pain. Our daily responsibilities often get in the way of our medical treatment… and we have to make choices of how to use our limited time. However, the pain and suffering continues, much like the melody that “lingers on.”
Nobody ever wants to hire a lawyer, and victims have no frame of reference. I advise, “only retain a local, non-TV/Billboard advertising Accident Lawyer, who like Gribow, has been an accident victim, walked in your shoes and understands what you are going through now, and in the future.
Victims often believe they have a strong accident case, only to be turned down by an attorney. With Auto, Truck, Motorcycle, Pedestrian, Slip and Fall and Wrongful Death Accident cases, it’s usually because victims don’t understand, “Negligence is a two-prong test.” First, the lawyer must show liability, meaning someone else did something wrong, and then Damages, showing you were actually harmed.
What Sets Gribow’s Representation Apart? Injury Damages are more than saying “I’m hurt,” and must be documented with police reports, medical records, and treatment notes. Unfortunately, most CV doctors don’t understand how to write effective medical-legal reports, the single most important part of boosting the case value. Fortunately for my clients, I was the only CV attorney invited to the “faculty” of the International College of Orthopedic Surgeons, to annually teach them how to properly document injuries from a legal perspective.
In addition, as an “old-school lawyer,” I was taught the client’s happiness and best possible outcome always come first. If I believe a case would be too costly or complex to achieve that result, I’d rather turn it down than disappoint. I provide a variety of retainer options—and when appropriate, I may even refer you to another lawyer with more moderate fees or a public defender if you qualify, on DUI’s.
You don’t need an Accident lawyer… until you do. So, save my number: 760.837.7500—next to your plumber and electrician.
If you ever find yourself faced with an accident, call for a FREE 360° PI consultation. If I’m not the right fit, I’ll refer you to someone who is…honestly!
Remember: It’s not what’s said…it’s what the officer/adjuster, thinks you said! Police and ins. adjusters are not on your side. You are not in good hands, and your friendly neighbor’s insurance company is not giving you a piece of the rock.
