Personal Injury

Automobile Accidents

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 2.3 million people were injured in automobile accidents in the year 2013. In the same year, 32,000 people lost their lives in automobile accidents. These statistics are striking, considering that most people get into their cars and drive on a daily basis without even thinking about it.

Although most people would rather not think about it, the risk of being injured in a car accident is quite high and worrisome. When these injuries happen, people are often at a loss for what to do. Fortunately, the experienced attorneys at Gilburg are available to help right away. We will file the claim, resolve the damage to your vehicle, and make sure you receive the compensation you deserve for your injuries. The only thing left for our clients to worry about is taking care of their personal wellbeing.

It is pertinent that once you are injured in an accident, you contact a skilled attorney. People often believe these claims to be “simple” and attempt to handle these claims on their own. However, when things get complicated,  as they always do with an individual’s health and injuries, the injured don’t know where to turn. At Gilburg, we are available to assist you from Day 1 in getting the care you need and the compensation you are entitled to.

Dog Bite Attacks

Dogs make great companions, but even the friendliest of dogs may attack in certain situations.  Even the most dog loving person might go into shock and lose their composure once bitten unexpectedly by a friendly pet. According to the American Veterinary Medical Association, if you are bitten by someone else’s dog, it is important to take the following steps:

  1. Seek immediate medical attention to treat the would, either at an urgent care facility or emergency room.
  2. Contact the local authorities – police officers, animal control – explain what happened.
  3. Take down the owner’s name and information.
  4. Take down the location and a description of the animal.

Once you have taken the preliminary steps to recovery, it is important to contact an attorney to see what your future options may be. Dog bites often leave lingering pain and symptoms, while dog owners may disappear or get rid of the dog.

Our office provides free consultations over the phone regarding these types of injuries and how to better manage the situation. Give us a call at (818) 780-7337 to speak to an attorney directly.
