PERSONAL INJURY

The role of attorneys is to make the system work as it should, hold the wrongdoer responsible and get the person who was injured the compensation that justice requires.

The process is not simple and it is not short. It is intended to accomplish a single objective:  right the wrong to the extent possible.

When you are looking for the compensation you are entitled to, you want an attorney who can make the system work for you, not an attorney who will surrender to the demands of insurance companies. There are times that we've lost a case, but there's never been a time that we refused to fight.

There are "personal injury" attorneys who will tell you right up front that they will do whatever it takes to represent you, so long as they don't have to try the case.  Just as the doctors you choose are important in treating your injuries, the attorneys you choose are important in dealing with the legal issues associated with the incident.  Your attorney has to be willing and able to do what is necessary.  Hiring a lawyer who refuses to try a case is like having a doctor who faints at the sight of blood.  They can be quite good, to a point.

The Law Offices of Gregory Allen treats each case as a trial from the moment we are retained.  Although many cases are resolved short of trial, "on the courthouse steps," we are prepared to take our cases to trial if that is the best course of action.  We know it, our clients know it, and after 30 years of trials across the state, our opposition knows it.

If you have suffered from an injury that was caused by someone else, we can provide you with the legal guidance you need.  If you are trying to decide if you should file a legal claim, we will meet with you to review the details of your case and help you determine if you have a valid claim.  Your initial consultation is complimentary.

Our personal injury experience covers a wide range of injuries caused by auto, bicycle, boating and motorcycle accidents, slips and falls, liquor liability, premises liability, medical malpractice, nursing home injuries, paralysis and wrongful death.

Our approach to your case will cover a lot more than just what happens in court.  We will guide you through the entire process, starting with a review of your case and an explanation of the steps and actions you need to take to preserve the evidence for your claim.

Although we are always prepared to take a case to trial, many cases can be resolved without going to court. There are alternatives to going before a jury. If your claim can't be settled on its own, arbitration or mediation might be an appropriate way to resolve your claim.  We will discuss these options with you and decide together what the best course of action is for your case.

If litigation is required, we will make the process as understandable and comfortable as possible.  No matter what course of action you decide to pursue, you can rely on our attorneys to fight for you and aggressively protect your rights.
