PERSONAL INJURY ATTORNEY
Attorney Gary D. Zeid has been representing victims of automobile, motorcycle and truck accidents for over 30 years. He has had the privilege of helping his clients obtain fair and just compensation for their injuries or the death of a loved one.
Today there are many complicated factors in handling an injury claim. Decisions must be made as to how medical bills should be paid, what claims can be made and when those claims have to be properly asserted. Investigation and evidence preservation is vital at the early stages of your claim. State laws and some insurance policies have critical time frames for action which if not heeded can adversely affect your claim. Attorney Zeid will not settle your claim until all factors are considered and we know the extent of your injuries. Beware of the insurance adjuster for the person who caused the injury to contact you immediately after the injury to settle your claim for a small amount of money. You may be tempted to accept the offer, but you are only cheating yourself by settling the claim without knowing the full extent of your injury. Often it takes months to know the full extent of your injury and if the problems will heal themselves within a short period of time. Attorney Zeid has the experience to guide you through the process and to help you make an informed decision.
