Yesterday, someone we know was involved in a hit-and-run. They reported the accident to Law Enforcement. During the report, the officer stepped away to make a phone call. About 10 minutes later, a guy suddenly appeared claiming his wife’s dash cam had captured the crash and asked for her contact info.
But then the story started changing.
First, he said his cousin worked for a law firm. Then he claimed he worked there too. Before leaving, he pushed the injured victim to contact “his” law firm. After she left she started to get phones from the law firm.
This is wrong on so many levels. Unethical “professionals” exploiting the vulnerability of injured people in stressful moments.
Here’s what everyone should know after an accident:
* You have the right to choose your own attorney.
* No ethical law firm should pressure or solicit you at the scene of a crash.
*Be cautious of strangers suddenly appearing with referrals or legal recommendations and asking for YOUR information.
If people truly want to help, they’ll leave their infomation and be on their way.
An accident are confusing enough. Don’t let anyone take advantage when you are in a vulnerable state.
Btw She has yet to see the wife’s dash cam 🙄
