Personal Injury & Accident Transcript
If I am injured, what should I do first?
If you’re injured, what you should do is make sure you get yourself treatment. So find yourself the appropriate hospital or doctor and make sure you’re getting yourself on the road to recovery or getting the treatment you need for whatever sort of injury you have, and at some point during the course of that it would be a good idea to contact an attorney to determine if you have a claim and that attorney can help you litigate that claim. It’s really important to do that as early as possible because the sooner the attorney gets involved the easier it is for him or her to litigate the claim.
Why should I hire PR&A as my personal injury attorney?
You know, there are three things I think about a firm that does plaintiff’s work like ours, but you know in particular about Pellettieri Rabstein & Altman that would bring me here if I were just a layperson out there who was injured in an accident. And the first thing is it still has stayed small, smallish. There are about 30, 35 lawyers here and what we can do with that is we can give your case individual experience. You’re not going to – you know, you’re not going to just be a name in a group of files, people are going to know your name, know what your case is about. So we can bring that to you.
But we also, even though we’ve stayed small, we’ve been able to litigate the claims, which are expensive. Litigation has become more costly and we have the resources here to – you know, we have the money to be able to handle what we have to handle and pay for what we have to pay for to bring the case through the system or to bring it to its best resolution, and you know we also had what has stayed steady over the course of the ten or eleven years I’ve been here – a good batch of lawyers. I see a core group of old and young lawyers and somehow this firm has been able to weed out those that shouldn’t be here and keep those that should and that’s truly what I think about this place. At the end of the day, I think that’s why I’ve been able to learn the things I’ve learned here and I don’t want to take that experience somewhere else – why? I can keep it at a place where we’re doing good work for the clients.
