Knowledgeable and Caring

A few years back, I was a victim in an automobile accident. I stopped at a stop sign coming out of a parking lot. An accident occurred in the street in front of me and one of the cars careened into my car. My young son was also in the car. We both sustained injuries to our neck and back. We were... treated and released at the local hospital with the instructions to follow up with a doctor. I had never been injured in an automobile accident before and didn’t quite know what to do next. Fortunately, my cousin gave me the name of an attorney who had assisted him in an accident which occurred about a year before. He recommended I call William Hayes. He assured me that Mr. Hayes was an excellent attorney who was experienced in auto accident cases and would be able to assist me. I called Mr. Hayes and was most happy that I did. As my cousin had told me, Mr. Hayes answered all my questions. He was truly concerned about the injuries my son and I had sustained. I decided to contact the doctor that treated my cousin for his accident. Mr. Hayes and his staff worked along with the doctor’s office making sure my son and I got the testing and treatment we needed. Mr. Hayes and his office made sure that the insurance company was paying for our doctors’ bills and prescriptions. These caring and extremely knowledgeable people kept in touch with me and advised me each step of the way. They were never too busy to take time to speak to me on the phone or explain insurance documents. When treatment was complete, they began negotiations with the insurance company. Despite the fact that I was stopped at a stop sign, one of the insurance companies tried to say the accident was partially my fault. Mr. Hayes and his office fought for me and my son and arrived at a settlement which was fair and just. An attorney from the office accompanied me to court so that my son’s settlement could be placed in a special account earning interest until he reached his eighteenth birthday.
