At Fielding Law, we provide trustworthy, personalized representation to those who suffered a personal injury at the hands of a negligent party. We take pride in providing representation unlike any other legal options, thanks to our unique mix of personalized attention and specialized expertise.

Our attorneys primarily represent personal injury and car accident cases. Often, those who practice across a wide variety of practice areas lack the detail and intimate knowledge necessary to effectively represent your needs. Our skilled team of attorneys have a comprehensive grasp of any and all issues associated with personal injuries and auto accidents. This includes:
Although we have the resources and breadth of knowledge of a large firm, we are committed to giving you the personalized attention of a smaller law office. Our team of personal injury attorneys retains a small case load so that we can tend to your case without any undue delays. We want to give your case a comprehensive analysis to determine the proper course of action. Additionally, we aim to maintain an open line of communication – rather than talking through legal assistants or paralegals, you have direct, one-on-one access to our attorneys for any questions and advice regarding your case.
If you or a loved one were injured due to the negligence of another party, you deserve the right to fair compensation. We are dedicated to the pursuit of constantly honing our base of special knowledge for your benefit, so that you receive the counsel you deserve and the compensation you require.
We are not willing to accept a low settlement offer when you deserve more. Contact Fielding Law for a free consultation and discuss your options for recovery today.
If you are in a car accident, the law requires you to report the event to your insurance company. The insurance company of the driver who struck you will later reach out and ask you some basic questions about what happened. After reviewing the details of the case, you can expect a settlement offer.
Unfortunately, this settlement offer will more than likely not cover the full extent of damages or may only be enough to pay for immediate repairs and hospital bills. A major pitfall here is agreeing to a settlement that does not account for factors such as long-term medical expenses, physical rehabilitation, emotional pain and suffering (also referred to as loss of enjoyment of life) and the possibility of having to find a new job or make serious adjustments to your lifestyle. This is one reason why working with an attorney is crucial.
ABOUT USAll states enforce a strict statute of limitations on personal injury claims. Contacting a lawyer as soon as possible after your accident can help ensure your case is heard before the statute of limitations expires.
Your potential recovery may also be affected depending on your liability of the accident. Some states enforce a comparative fault rule, which reduces the amount of damages based on a percentage of fault – and if you are found to be 50 percent or more at fault, you may not be awarded damages at all.
It’s important to note that this does not always apply to auto accidents, as states sometimes follow the no-fault rule. In this system, the injured person’s insurance provider gives limited coverage for certain costs related to the accident, regardless of liability. However, if your accident results in injuries, you may be able to file a liability claim against the other party.
More often than not your own insurance company’s limited compensation will not pay for all your damages, so it is definitely worth your while to investigate your options. It’s also important to take into consideration any potential limits on damages recovered, whether they pertain to wrongful death, medical malpractice, or auto accident claims.
With so many laws and limitations to keep in mind, the personal injury claims process can be incredibly confusing. Leave it to the lawyers at Fielding Law to take care of the process for you. They have the experience and knowledge to not only navigate these laws effortlessly, but also distill this information in a way that the layman can understand easily.
After suffering an injury, you may want to put the incident behind you as soon as possible. Filing a claim without consulting a legal professional seems like the quicker and simpler method, but having a legal professional on your side can be extremely beneficial for many reasons.
A Claim Becomes Too Complicated. A personal injury attorney can help you understand the legal technicalities and take away some of the stress. Filing a claim is your chance to receive compensation for your injury, and it is important to take advantage of the opportunity during the proper time frame.
Difficulty with the Insurance Company. Legal complexities are not the only difficulty that comes along with personal injury cases. Insurance companies can also add considerable complications to the process. Even if you navigate your claim flawlessly without a lawyer, you may still need one if the insurance company refuses to offer a fair amount for settlement.
There are two main tactics that the insurance company may take to try to avoid paying the full amount: denying liability and denying coverage. Insurance companies could deny any fault even after you refuse to drop the suit.
Navigating the complex legal system following an auto accident or a personal injury can be virtually impossible without expert support. Many people make mistakes when speaking with police or insurance companies following an incident, compromising the integrity of a future claim because they lacked legal counsel. This is especially problematic in cases that involve negligence, speaking with multiple insurance companies, or debilitating injuries.
Our personal injury lawyers have experience working with stubborn insurance companies and know how to get them to acknowledge their fault. Even if you do not find your specific accident in the policy, it does not mean that the insurance company does not cover it. An experienced attorney can interpret most insurance policy provisions in various ways.
