What We Need to Evaluate Your Case
- Where did the accident happen? (Downtown, Fort Pitt Tunnel, Oakland, etc.)
- When and how did it occur? (date, time, vehicle type, circumstances)
- Any photos, videos, or diagrams of the scene?
- List of witnesses (if any)
- All medical treatment dates and providers
- Insurance details (your policy, the other party’s info)
- A summary of wage loss or missed work
A brief, informed consult gets you a clear yes/no, the timeline, and our honest expectations—so you can decide if legal action is worthwhile.
What Can Injury Compensation Cover?
- Medical bills and future care
- Lost wages and future earning loss
- Pain, suffering, and emotional distress
- Property loss or damage
- Out-of-pocket costs related to the accident
We document and organize everything—so the full impact of your injury is presented, not just the obvious bills.
