HOW CAN WE HELP?
Examining Your Insurance Policies For Favorable Terms
Many pedestrians do not know it, but they may have, in addition to the other person’s liability policy, three other possible sources of compensation if they have automobile insurance:
- The injured person’s own personal injury protection (PIP) policy
- The other driver’s PIP policy
- The injured person’s own uninsured/underinsured motorist policy
Mulvihill Law Firm PLLC has more than 40 years’ experience in insurance policy matters. We understand the complexities of insurance coverage law and how to make insurance companies honor their policies. We will draw upon every possible source to maximize the compensation you receive.
Representing Pedestrians With Life-Changing Injuries
Bicycle accidents and pedestrian accidents can result in serious head and spinal cord injuries and even fatal accidents/wrongful death. Mulvihill Law Firm PLLC has helped many victims of these injuries obtain compensation, medical care and rehabilitation services.
In your case, we will work closely with your doctor to identify the care you need. Then, we will act quickly to help you obtain the compensation you need and deserve.
