On behalf of Kaplan & Seifter posted in Injuries on Tuesday, February 28, 2017.

Dogs are often referred to as man's best friend. In many cases, this old adage holds true. Dogs are often great companions and are common additions to households throughout the country. In fact, the Insurance Information Institute reports that approximately 77.8 million dogs are owned as pets in the United States.

Unfortunately, not every dog is companion material. 4.5 million people are bitten by a dog every year. Of these dog attacks, 885,000 are so serious that they require medical attention.

3 Things NOT To Do After An Accident

On behalf of Kaplan & Seifter posted in Injuries on Tuesday, January 10, 2017.

We have posted in the past about insurance bad faith. While we certainly don't mean to suggest that every insurance carrier is inherently evil, we want all injured individuals to take a moment to protect themselves. Insurance policies can be complex and it is easy for policy-holders to get turned around - ultimately, doing themselves more harm than good. As experienced personal injury attorneys, we have seen numerous cases where injured people only try to follow (what they think are) the rules only to damage their cases. Here are three things that people should certainly not do unless they have a clear understanding of the consequences - or they have a skilled lawyer on their side.

On behalf of Kaplan & Seifter posted in Injuries on Wednesday, November 9, 2016.

People get injured. Sometimes it's because someone wasn't paying attention and sometimes it's because they simply slipped and fell.

Is my insurance company taking advantage of me?

On behalf of Kaplan & Seifter posted in Injuries on Friday, October 28, 2016.

You've paid insurance premiums for years or even decades with no trouble. As a valued customer, you assume that your chosen insurance company will stand beside you and fight for your best interests after a serious accident. Unfortunately, many people have found their insurance carriers to act in bad faith when it matters the most. Your insurance company has a duty to treat you - and your claim - fairly. If your insurance claim is denied, delayed or devalued without proper investigation, it can be said that the company acted in bad faith.
