Synopsis
No one plans on being injured in an accident, a victim of medical malpractice, sexually or brutally assaulted, abused in other ways, molested as a child or injured in some way by a product they used, but when it happens they often find themselves at a loss as to how to receive fair compensation for their injuries and the treatment they deserve. The lawyers at Q Auto & Injury Attorneys, McCue, Reams & Associates tell stories, share experiences and offer advice to victims who are simply overwhelmed by how the system works and what their rights are under the law when they are injured. Sometimes proper compensation can come quickly through negotiations and other times what ís right must come through the courts. Attorneys, with years of experience in personal injury, accident and malpractice cases, explain the ins and outs of how to go about getting a fair settlement. These video and audio podcasts are offered twice monthly and, on occasion, with extra Episodes when news stories or changes in the law dictate.
