In his book Maximizing Your Injury Claim: Simple Steps to Protect Your Family After An Accident, Matthew D. Dubin provides readers with guidance to help protect their families through personal injury claims. The book outlines the steps can be taken to be sure of having adequate PIP (Personal Injury Protection).
The 22 short chapters contain step-by-step instructions or actions to take after an accident: what not to do at the scene of an accident, getting the treatment you need, filing your claim, getting your medical bills paid, deciding when you need an attorney, dealing with complications, negotiationing, valuing pain and suffering, determining when it may be necessary to go to court, and alternatives to going to trial.
Important appendices include FAQs on six variations of accidents: bicycle, car, commercial truck, motorcycle, pedestrian, and disc herniation. A valuable glossary of useful terms, and instructions on what do if you are in a motor vehicle accident are also included.
Although the book has a natural order and progression, the book is a valuable resource in its individual chapters, which can be consulted when (or if) needed. Dubin writes in layman’s language, avoiding legalese, in a user-friendly format. I especially appreciated the questions to consider, the exercises for clarification, the chapter conclusions, and the one-sentence preview of questions to be answered in the following chapter. The chapter Finding the Right Lawyer for You included an important listing and description of The Client’s Bill of Rights.
The book is highly endorsed by Dubin’s peers in the legal field, personal injury clients, professionals in the medical field, and a number of award-winning authors. Dubin is named among the top 100 trial lawyers by the National Trial Lawyers and by the American Society of Legal Advocates.
Maximizing Your Injury Claim: Simple Steps to Protect Your Family After An Accident by Matthew D. Dubin is an important resource and should be read by heads of households and kept available in every family’s reference library for ready review and application.
