also known as Kris, Helmick
Kristopher M. Helmick, Esq. has been an outspoken advocate for client’s and victims’ rights since beginning his career in 2014. He had great success over his career, having recovered tens of millions of dollars for his clients. Mr. Helmick made the decision to open his own firm so he could take his philosophy one step further.
When suffering from an injury due to another person or company’s negligence life can seem hopeless. Many suffer feelings of unimaginable loss and grief due to their injuries or the injuries sustained by a friend or loved one.
Medical bills, loss of employment, depression, and hospital visits are just a few of the negative impacts that an injury can have on a victim.
Pacific West Injury takes the pain and suffering very seriously and understands how to negotiate these factors when dealing with the insurance companies on your behalf. No amount of pain and suffering is ok at the hands of a negligent driver or irresponsible business.
