Interview: Who Can You Trust After a Car Accident?

This video features Michael E. Greenspan, a Personal Injury attorney based in New York.

After you've been in a car accident, someone might get in touch with you offering to help. They might offer legal assistance, physical therapy, and a rental car while your vehicle is repaired. Here's the thing: this person is not a lawyer, and they do not have your best interest in mind. In fact, it is illegal for a lawyer to contact you first after you've been in a car or truck accident. Michael Greenspan covers this issue and many others in his recent AskTheLawyers.com™ interview.
