Personal Injury

Have you been injured in an accident through no fault of your own but due to the negligence of another? You may be facing medical bills, property damage, lost time at work, and emotional distress as a result of the accident. If this is the case, you should always consider hiring an experienced attorney to protect your legal rights. Mr. Rafter has the experience to ensure that you receive the full compensation that you deserve.

Insurance companies can be very difficult to deal with. Remember, insurance companies are corporations that have the goal of being as profitable as possible. This means that they will likely attempt to pay you little or no money for the damages you have suffered as a result of the accident. When an insurance company deals with you directly, they may “lowball” you and offer you a minuscule amount of money to settle the case quickly.

Through negotiation, Mr. Rafter may be able to reach a settlement for your case so that a trial can be avoided. If an agreement can’t be reached outside of court, Mr. Rafter will use his thirty plus years of litigation experience to vigorously fight in court until you are appropriately compensated for your claim.

Five things to do if you are involved in an accident:

1. Stay at the scene of the accident. Call 911 if you or anyone else in the accident is injured.
2. If your vehicle is creating unsafe conditions for you or other drivers, try to move it to the side of the road if possible.
3. Make sure you file a report with the police once they arrive at the scene. Don’t admit guilt as the legal issues can be dealt with later.
4. Obtain the information of the other parties involved including the names and phone numbers of any witnesses.
5. If you have a camera or smartphone, take pictures of the scene of the crash.

There will be no fees or costs if there’s no recovery in your personal injury case.
