After an accident, many insurers work to minimize compensation for accident victims. We work to maximize it. Insurers have good attorneys and you should too.
Accidents occur in Bowling Green for a wide variety of reasons such as distracted driving. Cars have more safety features than ever these days yet the number of accidents keep increasing and that is due to distracted drivers.
