Whether you have been in a car accident or suffered any type of injury, your first call will be to a lawyer who specializes in personal injury. Navigating the waters of insurance claims can be difficult at the very least and a personal injury lawyer (preferably board certified) can make sure you receive the compensation you deserve from the at-fault party.
