everything is done on a contingency basis, which means there are no upfront fees and you pay nothing unless we win you money. and if we don't win, you pay nothing at all. so really you have nothing to lose. - that's great, thanks tom. now, earlier you mentioned there were 17,000 car accidents per day in the u.s. an astounding number, but what about truck accidents? i would imagine they're not as common as car accidents, but often result in more serious injuries, is that right? - absolutely, gina, that's correct. since there are more cars on the road than trucks, we see a lot more car accidents than truck accidents. however, truck accidents often result in more serious injuries. it's a scary thing when you think about it. when an 80,000 pound semi truck crashes into a car or a motorcycle, it is just never a good situation. those are the types of calls we see here. families whose lives are turned upside down by a devastating crash. shock sets in, and they don't know what to do next.

there's a whole business side of the accident that needs to be addressed in order to ensure that you get a great settlement for your accident. and oftentimes families need money to care for injuries. and our experience with these types of cases, allows our agents to take great care of you and guide you through the process because our number one priority is to make sure that you get a great settlement fast. - thanks, tom. all right, everyone. we're almost finished with our time on the air. and as you can see, the phones are really busy. so take advantage of this opportunity and give us a call right now, speak with a live person and get the help that you need. okay, tom, here's a question submitted to us from dana. and it says, why should someone call an attorney after they've been involved in an accident instead of just trying to negotiate with the insurance company themselves? oh, that's a good question, tom. - yeah, that is a great question, gina. and thank you for submitting it to us, dana. there are several reasons to call an attorney after being in an accident.

and the number one reason is that you don't want to go it alone. our job is to get you a great settlement fast. and if we don't win you money, you pay nothing at all. there are many pitfalls and countless things that can go wrong and ruin your case. and you need to make sure you have someone on your side who knows what you can expect. and that way you end up with a big settlement, because that really is what it's all about. the accident happened and that can't be changed, but getting you a lot of money for your accident fast, can. so i encourage all of you watching at home, if you've been injured in an accident, take advantage of this opportunity and call the number you see on your screen. find out if you have a case and how much your case is potentially worth. - thanks tom, such great advice. - and you know, gina, one thing that i want to mention here is that everything is completely confidential. so i want people to know that their information is completely safe. the call is free, the consultation is free and you pay nothing unless we win you money. - thanks tom, now here's a quick look at the phones.

you see them right there, let's keep them ringing folks. you're watching the legal help center and we'll be right back. (murmuring) (phones ringing) (upbeat music) hi folks, welcome back. if you're just joining us, we have legal professionals standing by to help you. they're available right now to answer your questions and let you know how much your case is potentially worth. okay, tom, i've been in an accident before myself and for those of you watching at home, i know you can relate. it's a very scary time in your life, shock sets in and there's a lot that needs to get done. so what should someone do after they've been in an accident to start putting their life back together? - well, gina, you're right. after you've been injured in an accident, it is a very scary time in your life. and there are a lot of moving parts to it. your car is wrecked, you're injured,

medical bills may be piling up and you might have to miss time off of work. and the list really goes on and on. and it's like a part-time job, just keeping up with everything that needs to be done, but it doesn't have to be that stressful because that's where we come in. we deal with the insurance companies so you don't have to, and you can just focus on getting better. that's why i encourage all of you watching at home, if you've been injured in an accident that was not your fault, don't go it alone. call us right now and get the help that you need. we'll answer your questions, give you a free consultation, let you know how much your case is potentially worth. most people don't know it, but you can even get paid for pain and suffering in some cases, which is just another reason not to go it alone. at a minimum, give us a call and let us take a look at your case and see if we can help. if we can, fantastic. if we can't, we'll let you know that as well. - thanks, tom. such great points, now let's go back to the phones. we have brian on the line, brian, what's your question? - [brian] hi, my name's brian and my question is,

is the consultation really free? - all right, tom, that's a really good question and i feel like it's come up a few times so far. what's the answer? - well, gina, that is a great question. and brian, thank you for submitting it. and the answer is yes, the consultation is completely free. as i said moments ago, there are no upfront costs. so not only is the consultation free, but you pay nothing unless we win you a settlement. so you really have nothing to lose. i encourage everyone watching at home to take advantage of this opportunity and at least see if we can help you find out if you have a case and how much your case is potentially worth. - you're watching the legal help center, stay with us, we'll be right back.
