John is a very smart and talented attorney. He helped me receive what I was entitled to. John was not only my attorney, he was a good friend! I’m glad to have had such a person working for me.
I would like to take a few minutes to thank you for handling my auto accident case. You handled it well and a lot quicker than I expected. Thanks again for such a great job.
John Schalter was very thorough and professional. My calls were always returned and my questions answered. I would recommend John Schalter to anyone that needs a good attorney.
Q: I've been hurt in an accident and I want to file a claim for my injuries. What's the first thing I should do?
A: There are a number of things you can do in the first few days and weeks after an accident to protect your right to compensation, such as:
1) write down as much as you can about the accident itself, your injuries and any other losses (such as wages) you've suffered as a result of the accident;
2) make notes of conversations that you have with people involved in the accident or the injury claim;
3) preserve evidence of who caused the accident and what damage was done by collecting physical evidence and taking photographs;
4) locate people who witnessed the accident and who might be able to help you prove your case;
5) notify anyone you think might be responsible for the accident of your intention to file a claim for your injuries, especially if a government agency or employee may be involved; and
6) contact a personal injury attorney to evaluate and pursue your claim.
