It can be confusing to know whether or not you really need a lawyer when
you're injured. Here are some situations where contacting a lawyer is
always recommended:
If you've been injured and you don't believe it was your fault.
The insurance company, either yours or theirs, wants to settle quickly.
The company or workplace where you were injured refers you to their
doctor.

Personal Note
I enjoy using my ideas and creativity to design informative advertisements,
videos and photographs for clients. I enjoy creating an idea and making it
happen, especially if it benefits other people or animals. I feel that
anything worth beginning MUST be completed. My priorities in life are my
God, my family, and my heritage. I was taught to "Dream the impossible,
because NOTHING is impossible". Quote by Hope Bailey
