I wholeheartedly agree with Mr. Stone�s opinion.
It is crucial to get professional assistance with personal injury claims. Tragically, many people discover this after it is too late. I would be happy to help you with your case if you are in the Bay Area. My phone number is (415) 364-1604 and my e-mail address is [email protected].

Please be advised that your claim can be lost forever if you fail to file it with the court in time. This is true even if you are in the process of negotiating a settlement with the insurance companies. Also, be sure to gather and preserve all evidence regarding your accident including, without limitation, (1) photos, x-rays and scans of your injuries; (2) photos, diagrams and other documentation regarding the accident scene and property damage; (3) police and medical reports; (4) contact information for witnesses; etc.
There is a reason why professional licensing is required to litigate cases. Legal issues involved in personal injury claims can get complicated if you lack the requisite knowledge and experience. Consequently, it is imperative that you get the strong, aggressive representation you need to win. I am available to help if you want.
Best of Luck,

Re: settlement amount
We get lots of mail from people who try to play amateur lawyer and do their own settlements with insurance companies -- usually after they lose. I strongly suggest you avoid becoming one of these people. Consult an attorney in person.
