Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Why should I hire one of your Woodbury personal injury attorneys instead of handling the claim myself?

After an injury, you’re facing medical bills, recovery, and stress. On top of that, dealing with insurance companies can be complex, as their goal is to pay out as little as possible. When you hire one of our Woodbury personal injury attorneys, you get an expert advocate dedicated to protecting your rights. We handle the investigation, paperwork, and all negotiations, allowing you to focus on your health while we work to maximize your compensation.

The insurance adjuster offered me a quick settlement. Why should I consult with a Woodbury personal injury attorney before accepting?

Initial settlement offers from insurance companies are often far less than what your claim is truly worth. These offers typically do not account for future medical treatment, long-term lost wages, or the full extent of your pain and suffering. Before you accept any offer or sign any documents, you should have it reviewed by an experienced attorney. We can assess the true value of your claim to ensure you don’t settle for less than you deserve.

What is the first step I should take to get help from your Woodbury personal injury attorneys?

The first step is simple: contact us for a free, no-obligation consultation. You can call our office or fill out a contact form on our website. During this initial meeting, you can tell us what happened, and we can provide a clear assessment of your legal options. Don’t wait, as evidence can disappear and legal deadlines (statutes of limitations) can affect your right to file a claim.

Who is responsible for paying my medical bills while my case is ongoing?

This is a major concern for our clients. Initially, your medical bills should be submitted to your own health insurance or, in the case of a car accident, your own No-Fault auto insurance policy. The at-fault party’s insurance company does not pay your bills as you go. A crucial role our Woodbury personal injury attorneys play is to manage these costs and ensure that all medical expenses—past, present, and future—are fully documented and included in your final settlement demand. The goal is to ensure you are not left with outstanding medical debt once your case is resolved.
