I've Been in Accident. What's Next?Just because you were in an accident doesn't mean that you have a legitimate personal injury claim. There are many elements of a personal injury claim that must be established, including: (1) who was at fault; (2) what injuries resulted from the accident; (3) what types of insurance coverage are available to cover the claim; and (4) where should the claim be filed? Our personal injury lawyer can help you navigate these issues and make sure that you get the advice that you deserve.

What Should I Do Following an Injury?Most people who suffer an injury in an accident or on the job aren't sure what steps to take next. They know they should probably report the incident and exchange information with the driver, property owner, or other responsible party, but may not know much after that. Whether you've been hurt on the job, in a car accident, or in a grocery store, it is important to know your rights and how you can protect them. It is important to locate witnesses, get medical attention as soon as possible, and avoid speaking with an insurance company before retaining a Mt. Pleasant personal injury lawyer. Never admit fault and never accept the first offer from an insurance company if you feel like they are giving an unfair offer or rushing you. When you need trusted counsel, call on Lawton Law Firm.
