“Am I fulfilling my role?”
That’s the question I ask myself every single day as a husband and father at home, and as your advocate when an injury upends your life. I’m David Harris, a local accident injury lawyer serving neighbors across $area1, $area2, and $area3. For decades, I’ve pursued justice for people who didn’t ask for a fight but deserve a fair outcome.
What Guides My Work (and Why It Matters to You)
Stewardship and responsibility aren’t buzzwords to me; rather, they’re how I measure success. At home, that means showing up for my family. For clients, it means showing up for you with the same care and consistency.
- Duty: I take ownership of the result and the road to get there.
- Honesty: Straight talk about strengths, weaknesses, and realistic timelines.
- Diligence: Meticulous evidence, disciplined strategy, and persistent follow-through.
- Compassion: You’re not a file. You’re a person whose story deserves to be heard and understood.
If You’re Hurt, Here’s What We’ll Do Step by Step
1) Stabilize Your Situation
- End the noise: I take over insurance communications so you don’t face pressure or traps.
- Protect your claim: We secure photos, video, vehicle data, witness names, and incident reports before they vanish.
- Clarify coverage: We identify all available insurance policies, including at-faultpartyBodily Injury, UM/UIM, Auto No-Fault/Personal Injury Protection, Medical Payments, commercial coverage, and any additional excess coverage.
2) Build a Clear, Credible Case Story
- Liability: Show who’s responsible and why, using reports, testimony, and (when needed) expert analysis.
- Causation: Connect the incident to your injuries with medical evidence, not assumptions.
- Damages: Document the real-world impact from medical costs and lost income to daily limitations, harms, and losses.
3) Pursue Full and Fair Compensation
- Economic losses: ER and specialist care, physician, therapy and rehab, surgery, medications, devices, future care planning, lost wages, reduced earning capacity, out-of-pocket costs, and property damage.
- Non-economic losses: Pain, the disruption of your normal routines, anxiety and sleep issues, loss of enjoyment, and relationship harms.
My job is to translate your lived experience into recognized claim value, so nothing important is left off the table.
How I Work With You (So You Always Know What’s Next)
Expect This From Me
- Direct access: You’ll hear from me, not a call center.
- Plain-English updates: No jargon. No mystery. Just clear status and next steps.
- Candor about value: I’ll tell you what helps and what hurts your outcome.
Expect This From the Process
- Most strong claims settle pre-suit. With disciplined documentation and timing, we often resolve matters without filing a lawsuit.
- Litigation is a tool, not a threat. If an insurer won’t be fair, we file suit and use discovery, depositions, and experts to unlock full value.
The Client Commitment Checklist
I will:
- Treat your case like it’s the only one on my desk when we’re talking.
- Prepare every demand like it’s headed for a jury.
- Return your calls and answer your questions promptly.
- Fight for maximum compensation with persistence and respect.
You can help by:
- Getting care early and following medical advice as gaps in treatment create doubt.
- Documenting everything (photos, receipts, medications, missed work, a daily pain/activity journal).
- Avoiding social posts about the incident or your injuries because insurance companies are watching.
- Saving correspondence from insurers and routing it to me before you respond.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have a case?
If someone’s carelessness caused your injuries and losses, you may have a valid claim. The quickest way to know is a free review of your facts, medical progress, and coverage landscape.
Will I have to go to court?
Often, no. Many claims settle without a lawsuit. If a carrier won’t be reasonable, we discuss filing suit together and move forward strategically.
How long will it take?
It depends on medical recovery and complexity. Pre-suit settlements may happen once treatment stabilizes. Litigation takes longer but can increase value when evidence is strong.
What does it cost to hire you?
I work on a contingency fee. You pay no upfront fees, and there’s no attorney’s fee unless we win compensation.
The Values Behind the Results
My personal measure of success begins at home, such as faith, family, stewardship, and continues in my law practice with the same focus: Am I fulfilling my role? That means doing the hard, quiet work when no one is watching: combing through records, pressing for data, sifting through evidence, preparing witnesses, refining strategy, and being available when your questions can’t wait.
For clients across $area1, $area2, and $area3, that commitment shows up in practical ways:
- Thoughtful timing of your demand so we don’t settle short.
- Complete, credible documentation that withstands scrutiny.
- Negotiation that is firm, respectful, and relentless.
- Trial-ready preparation: because leverage grows when you’re truly ready.
A Different Kind of First Call
When you reach out, here’s what you can expect on day one:
- A real conversation about what happened, how you’re feeling, and what you need.
- Straight answers about your options with no pressure, no obligation.
- A plan for the next 7–14 days: evidence to secure, care to schedule, and how I’ll manage insurers while you focus on healing.
You shouldn’t have to navigate pain, paperwork, and pressure by yourself. You deserve a guide and an advocate who treats your case with the same care he gives his own family.
