Do not go it alone!

Welcome to the The Law Offices of Howard B. Herskowitz. We specialize in Personal Injury law, covering all types of bodily injury claims as listed below, the majority regarding injuries from automobile accidents. The moment you hear the crunch of metal and the shatter of glass from a car accident, your life becomes more difficult and complicated. You have pain, worry, medical bills, car repairs, lost income during recovery, and other expenses, as well as your pain and suffering. The last thing you need to deal with is the uncaring, profit-motivated insurance company. You do not want to have to fight through the insurance company’s complicated claims procedures that were created in an attempt to discourage you from obtaining the recovery for your monetary losses and your pain and suffering you are entitled to receive. Unfortunately, the at-fault individual(s) and/or corporation(s) and their insurance carriers often trample on these rights. Our firm protects your rights in all these types of cases, and we are available for at-home and hospital consultations, as well as evening or weekend consultations, as needed.

When our firm accepts representation, we understand that the vast majority of our clients cannot afford to pay expensive hourly attorneys fees. Instead, our firm accepts representation on a contingent basis. That means that if we do not succeed in obtaining a monetary settlement or verdict for you, we do not get paid. On the other hand, if we do prevail with a settlement before litigation is filed, we are paid 1/3, (also referred to as (33-1/3%)  of the gross settlement in addition to any out-of-pocket costs and expenses we advance. If litigation must be filed, our firm is paid 40% plus costs and expenses we incur along the way.

We advise all clients and all other citizens to demand from their auto agents as soon as possible to provide as much UM as you can afford to maximize your protection. UM is so valuable that it will cover any passengers in your car. It will also cover you and your resident relatives if you/they are drivers or passengers in a car owned by a 3rd party. In other words, UM will follow you and your resident relatives wherever you may go, whether being struck by a vehicle as a pedestrian or as a driver or passenger on a motorcycle. Don’t be swayed if your insurance agent tries to talk you out of obtaining this valuable coverage or tries to lower the amount of this coverage you seek. Don’t be fooled if your agent hands you a waiver to sign, because that waiver could very well become the “proof” that your insurer will use to deny your UM claim. The only way you can be denied UM is if you are pressured by your agent to sign such a document. If your agent tries any of the above, it’s time for you to find another insurance carrier who will provide UM without an argument. You must realize that insurance agents are often instructed by their superiors NOT to sell you this coverage, because if a claim is made for UM, the recovery comes out of their own coffers; and furthermore, be sure to demand “stacked” UM, rather than “non-stacked.” Stacking allows you to stack the UM coverages of all the vehicles owned by all resident relatives in your household, affording you to have the highest UM protection possible.

“The settlement amount truly surprised me to the upside. It vastly exceeded all my hopes, and I cannot say enough wonderful things about my attorney and his caring capable staff.”
