One afternoon while riding my bike back to my dwelling from school, I was hit by a car as I tried to race across a busy intersection.
The traffic on both sides was stopped but the lights changed during the middle of the intersection.
I attempted to get through the rest of the crosswalk but a car swiftly started from a standstill plus slammed into my bike, throwing me into the pavement. It was not a very easy situation to walk away from because I had a tooth knocked out plus another that was easily chipped. Clearly I was going to require a fairly good amount of oral surgery plus the only way to move forward was by contacting an attorney. Although I was very fortunate to live in an upper middle class community with a number of different attorneys chasing every conceivable legal pursuit, I had no idea where to start. The first personal injury attorneys that I had conversations with weren’t particularly convincing about the success of the case until I was able to locate a personal referral from my father’s family law attorney. This man knew a pretty amazing personal injury lawyer in a town minutes away from ours. He explained to us that there was a statute of limitations on this particular court case, but we definitely were within that window of time. After litigating my personal injury case, he secured a settlement with the driver’s insurance dealer. In the end, he was a great personal injury attorney plus will always get a recommendation from me when people are looking for legal advice.
