Compensation for Personal Injuries

A personal injury claim seeks money for all losses that flow from the accident. Medical bills and lost income are only two of the most obvious losses people suffer. They can cost you thousands of dollars and make it hard to move forward.

Other compensation can cover damaged property and pain and suffering. Many people are unsure of how much their case is worth, which is why it is important to meet with a lawyer. We bring decades of experience to personal injury cases. Based on this knowledge, we can estimate how much you might receive in an insurance claim.

How Heidari Law Group Can Help

Personal injury claims are some of the most complicated legal issues we see. Although you might be tempted to handle your own case, we recommend that you contact us instead. We immediately help our clients by:

• Communicating with insurance companies to fill out paperwork and answer questions.
• Gathering helpful evidence to establish who is at fault for your injuries.
• Negotiating a settlement with the defendant and their insurers.
• Assisting you in documenting the full extent of your losses.
• Filing a lawsuit against the defendant if we can’t negotiate a favorable settlement.
