Either you, a member of your family, or a friend has been injured or died as a result of another persons  negligence.  You feel that you need the advise of an attorney in connection with the matter.

  WHO ARE YOU GOING TO CALL?

The lawyer whose picture appears on the back page of your telephone book?  The lawyer whose advertisement you heard on the radio?  The lawyer who was recommended by a friend of a friend?

The reality of the situation is this.  Different problems require the services of different lawyers.   The lawyer who handles a whiplash case may not be the right lawyer to handle an injury case arising from medical malpractice.  A medical malpractice attorney may not be the right lawyer to handle an injury case arising from a products liability claim.  An auto accident attorney who handled a whiplash case for your friend may not be the right attorney to handle a serious injury case or death case arising out of an auto accident. 

At Klein and Fortune, P.A., if we feel your case requires the service of additional attorney's,  we will co-counsel your case with another attorney whom we feel can do the very best job in handling your case and to maximize the your recovery.  As law firm we know which attorney to choose for your case, and then we associate with that attorney as co-counsel.   Why would we do that?  The numbers make it clear.  By associating with the best attorneys we know, the recovery is maximized.  Since all cases are done on a contingent fee basis, which means we only get paid a percentage of the money you recover, we believe that in the long run you end up with a better settlement and as a result our fees are also enhanced.

If you are in an accident it is important for you to protect your legal rights.  In most cases an accident report should be filed, your insurance agent called, if you are injured you should see a doctor as soon as possible after the accident,  and we can advise you of your legal rights and responsibilities.

If the accident involves an automobile, and you receive a traffic ticket, the attorney's at Klein and Fortune, P.A., can represent you  in the legal proceedings which follow.

The sooner you call our offices the better,  since witnesses may forget details of the accident.  We can counsel you on how to respond to questions from insurance adjusters,  and help you recover compensation for your personal injuries and damages to your car.

Please consider Klein and Fortune, P.A., to represent you.  We will do all that can be done to assist you.  The following is an accident information form you may want to consider keeping in your car.
