Why You Should Call a Personal Injury Lawyer Immediately:
01
Meet Deadlines
Maine has a specific statute of limitations for personal injury claims, meaning there’s a deadline to file a lawsuit. We can help ensure your claim is filed on time.
02
Preserve Evidence
The sooner you involve a lawyer, the sooner we can gather crucial evidence to build your case. This might include accident scene photos, police reports, witness statements, and medical records. Over time, evidence can become harder to obtain.
03
Understand Your Rights
Personal injury law can be complex. One of our lawyers can explain your legal options and the types of damages you may be entitled to claim (such as compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering). Plus, we want to ensure you understand the legal process.
04
Level the Playing Field
Insurance companies often have teams of lawyers who work to minimize your potential payout. At VBK, we know this system inside and out and will negotiate skillfully on your behalf.
05
Peace of Mind
Personal injury cases take time to resolve. Having a qualified lawyer handle the legal complexities gives you more time to focus on your recovery.
