(MUSIC) NOBODY WANTS TO THINK ABOUT BEING IN AN ACCIDENT
BUT ACCIDENTS HAPPEN EVERY DAY, THAT'S WHY THEY ARE CALLED ACCIDENTS.
THEY CAN LEAVE YOU FEELING STRESSED AND OVERWHELMED OR WORSE, INJURED.
THIS WHERE A PERSONAL INJURY ATTORNEY CAN REALLY HELP WITH MEDICAL BILLS PILING UP INSURANCE
COMPANIES WOULD RATHER SETTLE QUICKLY.
BUT THIS MIGHT NOT BE IN YOUR BEST INTEREST ESPECIALLY IF THE EXTENT OF YOUR AREN'T YET
KNOW.
AND HERE TO SORT THROUGH IT ALL FOR US IS ERIC JENSEN AN INJURY HELPLINE ATTORNEY AND
VP OF MARKETING FOR RW LYNCH ANUSH ALEXANDER.
IT'S GREAT TO HAVE YOU GUYS IN STUDIO TODAY.
THANK YOU.
ANUSH, I WANT TO TURN TO YOU FIRST.
WHAT IS THE INJURY HELPLINE AND HOW DID IT ALL GET STARTED?
SURE.
RW LYNCH IS ACTUALLY OUR PARENT COMPANY AND RW LYNCH AND THE INJURY HELPLINE WERE STARTED
OVER 30 YEARS AGO BY RANDY LYNCH.
WE WORK WITH HUNDREDS OF PERSONAL INJURY ATTORNEYS ACROSS THE COUNTRY IN EVERY STATE AND LOCAL
MARKET.
THE PREMISE BEHIND THE INJURY HELPLINE IS THAT ARE FOUNDER WAS REALLY FELT COMPELLED
TO KIND OF BALANCE THE SCALES IF YOU WILL, IN FAVOR OF THE INJURED VICTIM IN THE ACCIDENTS.
WE REALLY WANTED TO HAVE A SERVICE THAT HELPED EDUCATE THE POPULOUS ON THEIR RIGHTS AS IT
RELATES TO PERSONAL INJURY AND HELP THEM GET CONNECTED TO A PERSONAL INJURY ATTORNEY AS
SOON AS POSSIBLE.
HE FELT THAT THE INSURANCE COMPANIES HAVE HUNDREDS OF COMPANIES WORKING FOR THEM BUT
THE AVERAGE CONSUMER NOT ONLY DOESN'T KNOW AN ATTORNEY, BUT DOESN'T KNOW THAT THEY HAVE
THE ABILITY TO ACTUALLY TO GET COMPENSATION AND TO NEGOTIATE THAT.
TO DATE, WE'VE CONNECTED WITH NEARLY 4 MILLION INJURED VICTIMS WITH ATTORNEYS NATIONWIDE.
OUR ATTORNEYS HAVE BEEN ABLE TO HELP THEM GET THE COMPENSATION THEY NEED AND THE ANSWERS
THEY NEED IN A REALLY ROUGH TIME IN THEIR LIVES.
SO, GOOD TO KNOW BECAUSE YOU KNOW, THE INJURED SOMETIME FEEL HELPLESS OR ALONE OUT THERE.
AND ERIC WHAT ARE SOME OF THE MYTHS.
BECAUSE THEIR ARE MYTHS SURROUNDING PERSONAL INJURY ATTORNEYS.
SURE.
THE MYTH EVERYONE HAS HEARD IS THAT PERSONAL INJURY ATTORNEYS ARE AMBULANCE CHASERS.
AND THE REALITY IS THE LAWYERS AT MY FIRM AND MOST OF THE LAWYERS THAT I KNOW IN PERSONAL
INJURY ARE DEDICATED PROFESSIONALS, WE MAKE TIME TO EDUCATE OUR CLIENTS ABOUT THEIR RIGHTS.
WE MAKE SURE THAT THEY ARE NOT BEING TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF BY INSURANCE COMPANIES AND WE
GENUINELY CARE ABOUT GETTING THE RIGHT RESULTS FOR THE INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILY'S WE REPRESENT.
THAT'S SO IMPORTANT.
AND ANUSH, DOES REVIEWING WITH AN ATTORNEY FIRST, REALLY HELP THE CHANCES OF BEING COMPENSATED?
ABSOLUTELY.
LIKE I MENTIONED, THE INSURANCE COMPANIES HAVE HUNDREDS OF ATTORNEYS WORKING FOR THEM
AND THEIR ULTIMATE GOAL IS TO ADVOCATE ON BEHALF OF THEIR COMPANY.
THEY HAVE SHAREHOLDER THAT THEY'VE GOT TO GET PROFITS FOR, THEY'VE GOT EXECUTIVES THAT
EXPECT THAT FROM THEM.
BUT PERSONAL INJURY ATTORNEYS IS GOING TO BE THERE TO INSURE THAT YOUR RIGHTS ARE BEING
ADVOCATED FOR AND THAT YOU'RE GOING TO GET THE BEST COMPENSATION YOU CAN.
THEY WILL HELP YOU NAVIGATE ISSUES YOU MIGHT NOT HAVE CONSIDERED LIKE LONG TERM HEALTH
CARE COSTS OR PERHAPS LOST WAGES DUE TO NOT BEING ABLE TO WORK.
ERIC, CAN YOU GIVE US AN EXAMPLE OF A SUCCESSFUL OUTCOME AS FAR AS COME CASE THAT YOU KNOW
OF OR MAYBE HAVE BEEN INVOLVED WITH?
YES.
A WOMAN CALLED ME.
IT WAS A SUNDAY MORNING, 10:30 AM.
HER FATHER WAS WALKING HOME FROM THE GROCERY STORE ON THE SIDE WALK AND A YOUNG LADY WHO
HAD BEEN DRINKING AND PARTYING THE NIGHT BEFORE WAS STILL DRUNK AND HIT HIM AND KILLED HIM
AT THE SCENE.
OH MY GOSH.
SHE HAD NO INSURANCE.
SHE HAD NO ASSETS TO COLLECT AGAINST.
AND THEY HAD NO IDEA WHAT TO DO.
HE HAD A FUNERAL TO PAY FOR HE HAS CHILDREN.
THEY WERE LOST.
SO, WHEN THEY CAME TO ME I TOLD THEM THAT THE LAW IN GEORGIA, WHERE THIS HAPPENED, IS
THAT THEY CAN USE THE INSURANCE FROM AN VEHICLES IN HIS HOUSEHOLD THAT WERE OWNED BY RESIDENT
RELATIVES.
SO, I POINTED THEM IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION, THEY WERE ABLE TO GET THAT MONEY AND USE IT
PAY FOR HIS FUNERAL EXPENSES AND GIVE TO HIS CHILDREN.
I ACTUALLY DIDN'T TAKE THAT CASE.
I DIDN'T TAKE A FEE.
I JUST LET THEM KNOW WHAT THEIR RIGHTS WERE.
GOD BLESS YOU FOR THAT.
THAT'S SO COOL.
BUT THEY WOULD HAVE NOW, THIS DAUGHTER, WITH OUT YOU, SHE WOULDN'T HAVE KNOWN WHERE TO
GOT, HOW TO GET COMPENSATED, OR WHAT TO DO.
I MEAN, I NOT MAKING TOO MUCH OF THAT.
THAT'S RIGHT.
THAT'S TRUE, RIGHT.
THAT'S TRUE.
ANUSH, REALLY HOW DOES THE INJURY HELPLINE HELP PEOPLE AND WE HEARD THIS STORY BUT HOW
DOES IT REALLY HELP PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN INJURED?
YOU KNOW, ERIC ACTUALLY BRINGS UP A REALLY GOOD POINT WHEN HE TALKS ABOUT THE LAWS IN
GEORGIA.
EVERY STATE IS VERY DIFFERENT.
AND WHAT MOST PEOPLE DON'T REALIZE IS THAT YOU HAVE A VERY LIMITED TIME TO BE ABLE TO
FILE A CLAIM AFTER AN ACCIDENT AND THE TYPE OF ACCIDENT AND THE STATE THAT YOU ARE IN
THAT WILL DIFFER.
SO, THE MOST IMPORTANT THING THAT YOU DO AFTER AN ACCIDENT IS GET WITH AN ATTORNEY AS SOON
AS POSSIBLE.
THE INJURY HELPLINE IS COMPLETELY FREE SERVICE.
WE AT THE INJURY HELPLINE HAVE DONE ALL OF THE HOMEWORK FOR YOU.
ALL OF OUR ATTORNEYS ARE IN GOOD STANDING WITH THE BAR.
THEY WILL TAKE THE CASE ON A CONTINGENCY BASIS, WHICH MEANS, NO UPFRONT FEES.
NO HOURLY COSTS.
NOTHING UNTIL THAT CASE HAS COME TO RESOLUTION FOR YOU.
WOW.
ERIC, PERSONAL INJURY LAW SEEMS COMPLICATED SOMETIMES.
WHY IS THAT?
PERSONAL INJURY LAWS IN STATES VARY SIGNIFICANTLY.
MY FIRM HANDLE CASES IN ABOUT 20 STATES AND THIS IS A NO MISTAKE BUSINESS.
IF YOU MAKE A MISTAKE EARLY ON IN A CASE WHILE YOU'RE TRYING TO HANDLE IT YOURSELF, IT CAN
RUIN THE ENTIRE CASE.
WOW.
IT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO GET IN TOUCH WITH SOMEBODY THAT KNOWS WHAT THE LAW.
CAN EVALUATE A CASE AND CAN HELP YOU GET FAIR COMPENSATION.
I'M GLAD TO KNOW, I'M SURE OUR VIEWERS ARE GLAD TO KNOW ABOUT THE INJURY HELPLINE.
I LOVE THAT IT'S FREE.
THAT'S SO COOL AND WONDERFUL.
THANK YOU BOTH FOR BEING IN STUDIO TODAY.
