How can I know MRH Injury Law has my best interest?
Group 9 Group 9

Our financial interests are aligned with yours. We don’t get paid unless you do.

Beyond that, we are not a high-volume personal injury law firm. We don’t churn and burn clients. We take only the cases we believe in, and we dig deeper and fight harder to maximize the compensation we recover for each.

We frequently take cases rejected by other law firms and settle them for millions of dollars. We dig deeper because we care, and we fight harder because it matters.

What should I do after a semi-truck accident?
Group 9 Group 9

Of course, top priority is always to get the medical attention needed. Beyond that:

  1. Call the police immediately, make sure a report is made and ask for a copy – A police report helps provide objective evidence about how a pedestrian accident happened and helps provide important information about the people involved
  2. If you are hurt, seek medical attention immediately and do exactly what your doctor or health care provider tells you – Even if you have to go to a free medical clinic, taking care of your injuries and health problems is the most important thing to do after a pedestrian accident because you need to understand your injuries and get help for them
  3. Save all documents, including the police report, medical records, and repair estimates – Your lawyer will need to collect these documents and if you already have them, your case will move along much quicker
  4. If possible, take photographs of your car and injuries – Seeing the damage has a big impact on people, including insurance adjusters and juries. This will greatly help your case.
  5. Do not sign or agree to anything from an insurance company before you know your rights and speak to an attorney – Sometimes insurance companies will ask you to sign documents that will waive your right to other remedies or invite legal trouble down the road
  6. Call our lawyers as soon as possible – so we can develop a proactive strategy before valuable evidence disappears
How much compensation could I get for truck accident injuries?
Group 9 Group 9

Each truck crash case and injury claim is unique, but our truck accident attorneys are committed to digging deeper to uncover your maximum compensation. We believe a lifetime of damage is worth a lifetime of compensation.

We will thoroughly explore compensation for:

  • Severity and long-term impact of the injury, regardless of medical expenses
  • Medical expense reimbursement – including hospitalization, surgeries, rehabilitation, and ongoing medical treatment
  • Pain, suffering, and emotional distress
  • Disability and impairment
  • Rehabilitation and therapy costs
  • Wrongful death damages – in the tragic event of a fatality, surviving family members may be eligible for compensation for funeral expenses, loss of financial support, and emotional distress
  • Punitive damages – if the incident was particularly egregious, punitive damages may be awarded
  • Legal fees – including attorney fees and court expenses

How much you get will depend on these 5 things:

  1. How great are your losses?
  2. How egregious is the liability?
  3. Can the wrong-doer pay?
  4. Where will you have to file suit?
  5. Are you likeable?
