It's even worse when that accident has caused a serious or catastrophic injury and occurred due to the negligence or carelessness of another. Whether it's a car accident on your way to work, a fall at the local supermarket, your child was bitten by a stray dog, or a truck spill on the interstate that caused a multiple car pile-up, we know how devastating an injury and the unexpected costs of an accident can be. Especially when the injured and their families are often left to manage the cost of repairs, pay medical bills, and possibly even missing time at work. Craig F.
