Attorney Contact After Virginia Car Accident

Ben Glass Law- I’d like to talk to you about runners.  Now, not running, I run marathons, I run races, but runners.

    These are people who when you are injured in an accident show up at the hospital, uninvited, unannounced and tell you that they're—sometimes they're from the hospital or they’ve got your discharge planning and what they're doing is they're trying to sign your case up for a lawyer.

    I thought all of these folks had been eliminated in the world, but twice in the last couple of months, I had clients tell me that they were approached by runners.  This is an act that is unethical in every state and illegal in most and why someone would sign up with someone who shows up at their hospital room unannounced is beyond me.  Think about it!

    What type of professional needs to send someone out to a hospital to visit someone who is recovering from injuries to force a lawyer on them?  I looked up a couple of these people because the clients told me who they were, one was one of these big TV advertising firms and another was a guy whose reputation in the community is, he never ever goes to trial!

    Look, if you’ve been injured in an accident, you may not need a lawyer.  I guarantee you, you don’t need the lawyer that someone is sending a hospital, sending to your hospital room to sign up.  And those are a couple of reasons why I wrote my book, The Truth about Lawyer Advertising.  If you're in Virginia, I’d like to send that book to you for free.  Just follow the link below and I’ll send you the truth about lawyer advertising, which is my consumer guide to help you find the right lawyer for your case no matter what your legal issue is.  I hope to hear from you.

Hi this is Ben and thanks for coming to this page to give me some more information about your case.  A couple things to keep in mind.  Number 1, just by filling out this form doesn’t make me your lawyer okay.  Number 2, you don’t have to write like three volumes of the encyclopedia.  Give me enough to know about when your accident or injury occurred, who did something wrong and if you’ve talked to an insurance adjuster, what they’ve said and we’ll be happy to help you.  Again this is entirely confidential.  We obviously do not release your name or any information or email address to anybody else but we’re not forming an attorney-client relationship just yet.  On the other hand if you’d like to just call us you can go up to the number at the top of the screen and you can use our live chat box.  Any of those ways you can start a conversation with us.  I look forward to hearing from you and I’ll try to help you.

Medical Malpractice Book by Attorney Ben Glass for Virginians

Medical Malpractice Book by Attorney Ben Glass for Virginia Consumers. 

 

Hi, this is Ben.  I found that there are a lot of misconceptions about medical malpractice claims in Virginia.  Patients don’t have a – a real view of what actually happens in a case and how difficult these cases are.  As a result we spend a lot of time on the phone educating people about the medical malpractice claims process.  Then one day I got this idea to write this book, Why Most Medical Malpractice Victims Never Recover a Dime.  I wrote this for Virginia residents who believe they may have been injured by a doctor or another healthcare provider.  I wrote it in order that they could have a lot of useful information about the claims process, about what’s involved, about how to find an experienced board certified medical malpractice attorney.  So if you’ve come to this site because you believe that you may have been a victim of malpractice go ahead and fill out the form below or give us a call and we’ll rush you for free no obligation, it doesn’t mean we have to be your lawyer.  It doesn’t mean we would accept your case but we’ll rush you this free book and I guarantee you that once you read it you’ll be a more educated consumer, and you won’t regret having spent the time to get the book to learning a little bit more about this process.  Then if there’s something that we can help you with we’d be happy to talk to you. 

Ben Glass on FELA, Federal Employee Liability Act claims

Ben Glass on FELA, Federal Employee Liability Act claims

 

Hi, this is Ben.  As you can imagine, we get calls from all over Virginia and all over the United States almost each and every day about a wide variety of legal problems.  Sometimes we get calls from employees of the railroads who have been injured on the railroads.  Now look, I know a lot about a lot of different things but I don’t know anything about that area of the law and so all of those calls I refer to my friends, Rick Shapiro and Jonathan Cooper down in Virginia Beach.  These guys have really excelled at handling FELA cases, the Federal Employers Liability Act cases which is a law as I understand is to protect workers of railroads.  They’ve written a terrific book that every railroad employee ought to read before they talk to the claims adjuster, file a claim, or talk to any other FELA attorney so I’ve created a link right below.  It’s really easy to order their book. Their phone number and address is right below.  These are the guys that I refer all of my clients to who have this issue.  I highly respect the work that they do and I’m suggesting simply that if you think you’ve got an FELA claim anyplace in the country, go to the link below and click on their free book and start your educational process.  You won’t regret having done so.

Tips for Dealing with Insurance Adjusters after a Car Accident

Tips on Dealing with an Insurance Adjuster After a Car Accident

 

Hi, this is Ben.  Today I’ve got a tip for dealing with insurance adjusters.  You know recently in our office we’ve had several people call and report to us this type of conversation, that is an insurance adjuster is showing up at a hospital room, showing up at the house or maybe calling someone even after business hours and here’s the conversation. 

     "Mr. Jones, we’d like to offer you $3,000.00 for your case.  Will you – will you take that or are you gonna let some lawyer take 40 percent of it just to talk to you."

That really is an astounding conversation but I’ve now heard it from enough different people that I know it’s out there and we’ve heard it from the different insurance companies.  Let me tell you a couple things. 

Number 1, no legitimate personal injury lawyer is charging 40 percent of the recovery to settle your routine automobile accident case.  That’s ridiculous and so for an insurance adjuster to suggest that a lawyer is gonna take 40 percent just for talking to you is an outright lie. 

Number 2, you have plenty of time to deal with the adjuster.  For example in Virginia you typically have two years from the date of the accident within which to file a lawsuit.  There is no rush. 

Number 3, they want to close the case paying you as little money as they can.  If you take their $3,000.00 and a month from now find out that you need more care or surgery, too bad, you’re gonna have to pay for that.  You’re on your own right. 

So they’re trying to close the case early.  They’re trying to rush you into a decision and they’re trying to intimidate you from talking to a lawyer.  So here’s my offer to you.  If you have an offer from an insurance company you call us, give us that information, and we will review that offer and your case for absolutely free.  There is no way that we would charge 40 percent or anything to sit down with you to review their offer.  It might be a good offer but then again usually it’s not.  If it’s not we can talk about what we can do to help you improve your offer and help you get full recovery for your case.  That’s my tip of the day about dealing with insurance adjusters.
