Testimonial

  • Do it! I waited about a month after my accident thinking my injuries would resolve & I could handle the insurance companies myself. My injuries lasted a lot longer than expected. Had I settled on my own early on I would not have gotten the settlement I deserved to get or the full amount of care that was necessary to receive. Michelle of Des Moines
  • A careless driver was going too fast and lost control of his car and crashed into me. My car was totaled and I had to have multiple surgeries because of the crash. I hired Erik to help me and he did an outstanding job. His office and staff are great and I will recommend them to anyone I know who has been hurt in a car accident. Daren of Polk County, Iowa
  • I was injured in a car accident while working on my part-time job. I understood some of what was going on but decided that it would be better to seek professional help so I contacted Corey. Corey communicated with me throughout the process and kept me in the loop about what was going on. Unfortunately, the other driver did not have very much insurance coverage so they paid their policy limits which did not leave much left over after paying back the workers' compensation insurance company. However, Corey told me that my own insurance may pay additional compensation for what is called underinsured motorist coverage. With Corey's help and guidance, he was able to get my insurance company to also pay their policy limits and get my case settled without having to file a lawsuit. Tom of Polk City (Engineer)
