You may be entitled to damages for loss of income, emotional distress (pain and suffering), attorney fees, and punitive damages. The attorneys at the Justice Law Group will take care of every detail so you can concentrate on the most important thing – your life. We will immediately retrieve all relevant documents to assist your case, including all available cell phone records and any relevant video records, work reports, prior accident reports, litigation history, police reports, disciplinary action reports, and other relevant documentation. Employers often carry insurance, whose companies have strategies and tactics they employ so they do not have to pay you full compensation for your damages. Insurance companies make billions of dollars by denying proper or full payment to damaged parties. We will fight for you to get you justice and financial compensation.

You should speak to an attorney immediately.

Absolutely not.
