Do I Have a Case?

If you have suffered a serious injury or wrongful death due to someone else's fault in causing an accident, or due to medical malpractice, a defective product or drug, police brutality or any other form of negligence, you have a right to sue for damages for your pain, suffering, mental anguish and loss of enjoyment of life, as well as past and future lost earnings, loss of support, medical bills and any other economic damages you sustain.

Immediate investigation of your case could make the difference between winning and losing. Evidence, records and witnesses can disappear, and critical evidence can be lost.
Some claims must be made within 30-days.

Call us for a free consultation as soon as you can, because time is of the essence.

What to do after an accident

Seek medical attention immediately- victims are often unaware of the extent of their injuries due to shock.

Get information identifying the person that caused the accident and any witnesses and write it down.

Take pictures (with your cell phone if necessary) to document the accident and your injuries.

Write your own account of the accident while it is fresh in your memory and list contact information for any witnesses.

Do not give any verbal or written statements to investigators or insurance companies.

Do not sign any documents offered by insurance adjusters. You could be signing away your rights to receive full compensation.

Contact the Law Firm of Jonathan C. Reiter as soon as you can, so that we can conduct an immediate investigation and file whatever papers are needed to protect your legal rights. A prompt investigation could make the difference between winning and losing your case, so do not delay.
