After an auto accident, Peter and his team can quickly and correctly set up the liability claim with the opposing insurance company. Peter & his Team will efficiently investigate the incident, gather evidence, and help direct the client to the appropriate medical professionals to help ease the client's pain and anxiety by beginning the correct medical treatment. Most people need advice on where to go unless they themselves are in the medical profession. Insurance companies cannot play their usual games of claiming to "investigate the accident," which allows them to put an unrepresented party in limbo for days and often weeks. Peter's Team can legally pressure the insurance company to take responsibility while simultaneously directing the client along the path of recovery. This will get and keep the necessary medical treatment moving forward and protect the client from any insurance games.

If there is a serious injury where fault is in question, Peter's legal team will investigate it for proof of legal negligence. Often times this will require legal intervention for the Preservation of Evidence- such as GPS, Cell Phone, Black Box and Go-Pro data.

If the client has been seriously injured and requires surgery, the firm has a vast knowledge of the premier local surgeons. With the addition of Debbie Brown, PT, DPT and her over thirty (30+) years of clinical experience, the firm can assist in the process of engaging medical experts in the fields of physical rehabilitation- whether it is Physical Therapy, Occupational, Vocational or Chiropractic. The goal is for the client to achieve a one hundred (100%) percent recovery. When that is not possible, upon reaching maximum medical improvement, Peter can begin negotiations with the insurance company, and fight for the maximum compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering and punitive damages, where appropriate. Having Dr. Brown as part of the team strengthens his understanding of the clients injuries and long term ramifications to best advocate for the client. Clearly, Peter makes a difference, as he has been handling injury cases for over thirty (30) years and has collected over fifty (50) million dollars for his clients.
