My 12-year old nephew was running across the street when he was struck by a motor vehicle traveling approximately 45 mph. the other driver never stopped. The impact was so severe, my nephew's left leg was shattered at a growth plate. Because the fracture was at a growth plate, the left leg ceased growing while the right leg continued to grow. A number of surgeries were discussed in order to have the left leg continue to grow as natural as possible with the right leg. Because the other driver left the scene, we were unaware of the advantages Uninsured Motorist Coverage provides for policy holders. After hiring Stanford Law Offices, we pursued all appropriate remedies under the Uninsured Motorist Laws of Wisconsin and ultimately received sufficient funds to get all the surgeries paid for my nephew, and at the same time, set up a college fund for him. We cannot thank Stanford Law Offices enough for their assistance, guidance and assurance throughout this nightmare.

I was a 37-year-old truck driver when I was involved in a serious truck/automobile accident. My injuries were so severe, I was not able to return to work in any capacity. I hired Stanford Law Offices, S.C. to pursue the Worker's Compensation claim. There were not sufficient funds from the Worker's Compensation claim to make up for my losses. In addition to the Worker's Compensation claim, Stanford Law Offices, S.C. pursued an underinsured motorist claim making up the difference from what I lost and received in Worker's Compensation. If it were not for Stanford Law Offices, S.C. going the extra mile, I would have never been able to make up the difference.

My 12-year old daughter was struck by a hit and run motorist. Her leg was severely damaged to the point it ceased growing. Because the other driver left the scene, I was not aware of the benefits under my own insurance policy for Uninsured Motorist Coverage. Stanford Law Offices recovered sufficient funds to pay for my daughter's medical bills, education and for my husband and me to purchase devices necessary for her to navigate the rest of her life. To this date, my daughter remembers Stanford Law Offices and we often visit.

I was a pedestrian in a parking lot when a truck struck me and took off. We never found the truck. I filed a claim with my insurance company for benefits. My insurance company denied the claim. I hired Peter because the insurance company denied the claim. Stanford Law Offices pursued the uninsured motorist claim, and obtained a result to pay for my low back surgeries, lost wages and the ability to earn as much into the future. My family is able to provide for itself with the assistance of Stanford Law Offices.

I was operating my motor vehicle on a highway when a large truck struck me. The impact caused me to strike the guardrail head-on, at approximately 75 mph. My car flipped three times and I went through the windshield. We hired Stanford Law Offices to pursue the claim. Initially, my insurance company denied the claim. Peter was able to overturn the insurance company's denial and recover the maximum benefits under my policy. There is no way I would have been able to understand my insurance policy, much less navigate the court system without the assistance of Stanford Law Offices.

Waiting too long to get legal advice

Evidence fades and deadlines apply. Early guidance protects your options.

Giving a recorded statement without counsel

Insurers may use your words against you. Let an attorney review the situation first.

Accepting the first settlement offer

Initial offers rarely reflect the full cost of serious injuries and long-term care.

Skipping follow-up medical care

Gaps in treatment make it harder to prove the connection between the incident and your injuries.

Posting about your case on social media

Posts can be taken out of context and used to undermine your claim.
