Your Path to Healing from an Accident Starts Here.
There is nothing quite like an accident caused by something unexpected, such as being injured on a construction site, as a pedestrian, by a bicyclist or while on a bike, or even from a defective stroller. If you have been injured from any of the above incidents, call us today for a free consultation.
Common Unexpected Accidents.
- Construction Accidents: There is no job quite like a construction job. It can be extremely hazardous and deadly at times. When there is negligence involved, there can be disastrous accidents.
- Pedestrian Accidents: Pedestrian accidents can cause very serious injuries and even worse compared to accidents that happen in vehicles with protective metal frames, airbags, and seatbelts.
- Bicycle Accidents: There are many different types of bicycle accident injuries. You may be suffering from these injuries for a brief period of time and have no trouble healing, or you may spend decades trying to fully recover. Both deserve compensation.
- Stroller Accidents: Like many of our clients, we are parents. Every parent should trust that when they place their child in a stroller, the child will be safe. There is no excuse for stroller injuries.
First Steps to Take After Your Accident.
The absolute most important step you can take is seeking medical attention. For us to be able to prove to the insurance company that their insured caused you harm and they see that you waited to get medical care, they may claim your injuries came from something else. Another important step is the collection of evidence if you are able to stay on the scene. If you are swept off in an ambulance, you can have a friend, family member, or attorney go to the scene and collect this evidence for you.
The most important thing to avoid doing is interacting with the insurance company for the liable party. Have your attorney take over all communication with them to avoid them cornering you into saying something damaging to your case.

“I was fortunate enough to have Edwards & Ragatz as representation on my case. To be honest, I’ve always felt a certain way about lawyers but Eric Ragatz completely dispelled those feelings and worries. The first thing he told me was that he going to be completely transparent and that’s what he did. I knew it was real when he told me stuff I didn’t want to hear but that’s what I needed. In a case such a mine when you probably won’t be able to work, you start thinking about how you’re going to take care of your family. Thankfully, thankfully, thankfully I went with this firm. Everything that was done regarding my case was sent to me for approval. Any responses were brought to my attention immediately. Anything concerning my case was brought to my attention and he did what he said he was going to do. I can breathe again because I no longer have a concern about taking care of my family. If you’ve read this entire review it’s obvious you’re looking for the right firm to represent your case. All I can say is call them. They may not be right for you but then again they might be. I called & within a few months, my life has been changed forever. Call them.” – Jimmie
“These guys were amazing for my family when we really needed someone to fight for us!
