Insurance Claim

A lawyer will maximize the amount collected from the insurance companies. In most cases, injured people can recover money for their medical bills, lost wages, and for their pain and suffering—even if a family member was driving.

It does not matter who is at fault. Getting a lawyer working on this case early will increase the amount of money Hamilton recovers for injuries.
