At Ashcraft & Gerel, we have the experience and compassion to help you in your time of need.

A Lawyer Will Save Me Time
Effectively handling a personal injury case requires requesting medical records, reviewing police reports, communicating with insurance companies, filling out and sending paperwork while meeting strict deadlines, contacting witnesses, and navigating complex legal mazes. That sounds like a lot to take on, doesn’t it? An expert lawyer shoulders all of those burdens for you, so you have the capacity to put more energy into your recovery.
Lawyers Have Knowledge of the Law & Claims Process
Remember what we said about navigating complex legal mazes? It can be difficult to understand how state and federal laws balance each other, and they can often conflict with one another, adding another layer of complexity.
The claims process for a personal injury case can be confusing and frustrating if you don’t have an in-depth understanding of state and federal laws. The claims process presents several challenges; delays in submitting documents, incorrect filings, poor evidence-gathering, and other missteps can drastically reduce your potential compensation. Our seasoned attorneys can walk you through the claims process with ease.
An Attorney Can Represent Me in Court & Negotiate on My Behalf
Going up against insurance companies alone and representing yourself in courtrooms can be intimidating for even the most level-headed individuals, especially while dealing with an injury. On your own, your chances of getting a positive case result are low when facing off with a defending professional litigator, but our injury lawyers can be your unwavering allies. We know how to negotiate with stubborn insurance adjusters, and we are prepared to advocate for you in court, if necessary. Let our experience be your confidence throughout the entire process.
A Personal Injury Lawyer Can Seek Higher Settlement Amounts
Seeking to maximize your compensation is crucial in any legal negotiations and can help cover your medical bills and time away from work. Having professional representation means you’ll be able to rely on an expert who can help you seek significantly higher settlements. Our personal injury lawyers have a track record of securing high compensation for clients, because they understand the law and are skilled negotiators who will fight for the justice you deserve for your injuries.
I Don’t Owe My Attorney a Dime Unless They Win My Case
Worried about legal fees? At Ashcraft & Gerel, we work on a contingency basis. You pay nothing upfront, and our fee comes only from a successful settlement – we win, you win, and only then do we get paid. So don’t worry about legal fees when considering our attorneys for representation. We want you to focus on your recovery while we take on your legal battle.
