One of the most devastating events to an individual's life is an injury. Even a minor injury can be more than a nuisance. Major injuries can have lifelong consequences for people and their families. Life is difficult enough, and the added pressures of an injury can tear families apart. We have a saying at The Thiel Law Group:
"TAKE CONTROL OF YOUR SITUATION BEFORE IT GETS OUT OF CONTROL!"
The first step in any injury situation is to hire an experienced attorney who understands what you are going thru. Our firm's injury practice began with it's founding attorney, Keith Thiel. Mr. Thiel handled his first auto accident, injury case while he was still in law school - his own. Mr. Thiel t-boned a dump truck at 30 MPH, and totaled his custom, heavily modified sports car. Although the dump truck driver was completely at fault because he ran a red light, the responding officer still issued Mr. Thiel a ticket for failing to reduce speed to avoid an accident (even though it was impossible because the dump truck ran the red light at a blind intersection). Additionally, Mr. Thiel suffered injuries from the deployment of the air bag, including a head injury and a terrible burn on his forearm. The trip to the hospital was more expensive than Mr. Thiel ever imagined. Of course, the insurance company refused to total the vehicle, and initially offered a settlement for far less than the vehicle's value, nothing for medical bills and nothing for pain and suffering or the permanent scar on his forearm.
Through vigorous negotiation, Mr. Thiel was able to obtain a settlement for nearly triple the initial offer. Mr. Thiel has dealt with the insurance companies since before he was even a lawyer, and that experience has provided an excellent foundation for a successful injury practice at The Thiel Law Group, P.C.
