Dear Friend, 

If you have recently been injured as a result of a work related accident (for example: neck or back injury, fall, knee, eye or hand injury), you are probably confused or worried about what step to take next and have lots of questions on your mind like:
Will I be paid for time I have lost from work? Will my medical bills be paid?
Will I be able to see a doctor of my choice or do I have to see a company doctor? What if I can't return to work?
What if my injuries are permanent?
Do I really need a lawyer to represent my case or can I just work this out with my boss? How will I know if the lawyer I've chosen to represent my   case is the right lawyer for me
and will he or she be strong willed and be able to fight for my rights? If I open a workers' compensation claim, will I lose my job?
How will I feed my family in the mean time if I am unable to work? 

If you currently have any of these concerns, then please keep reading this special report. Hello, my name is David Wood. I have been practicing law in Spartanburg since 1982. 1 have settled many workers' compensation claims and accident claims in the past twenty (20) years.
Since being involved with the legal system, I have seen hard working, honest, unsuspecting people being taken advantage of (that's right, taken advantage of) by uncaring insurance companies, and doctors injured workers are forced to see. Doctors that say, "You're O.K., you can go back to work"

If you have been recently injured on the job, there are some facts you absolutely need to know. This special report details some of the critical facts you want to be aware of in order to ensure you are protected and get what you rightfully deserve.
Over the past 20 years I have encountered many people who have suffered from all types of work related auto accident injuries, but they don't seek legal advice. Some of these people haven't gone to a lawyer because they don't know if they have the right to compensation. Some are intimidated by the thought of seeing a lawyer. They are afraid to open a workers' compensation claim because they believe they may lose their job along with their benefits.
Each year I hear of many cases where injured workers who are entitled to receive benefits but
never took any action to submit a claim to get what they truly deserve. DOING NOTHING AT
ALL IS ONE OF THE WORST THINGS YOU CAN DO.
I consider myself to be a fighter, someone who looks out for the small guy. That is why I have taken the time to write this special report and offer it for free to anyone who asks. It makes me sick to see injured people cheated out of what they rightfully deserve because they were intimidated by a huge insurance company and pressured into an unfair settlement because they thought they might lose their job. It's extremely difficult to make ends meet these days and
getting injured shouldn't make matters worse.
Thousands of people are injured on the job each year. They are frequently injured all over again by those BIG insurance companies they are up against or by an incompetent doctor who says they
can return to work. Incompetent company doctors frequently injure their patients by simply

following orders. They do what the insurance companies tell them to do or else they don't get more patients sent their way.

The reality is that BIG, POWERFUL insurance companies often attempt to force the injured party into accepting a lower settlement for their injuries than they truly deserve. Insurance companies are in the business to make money. The less they pay you, the more profit they make.
WHAT CAN I DO ABOUT MY INJURY CLAIM?

If you are injured, you should immediately report the injury to your supervisor. You should note the time, place and circumstances of the accident, the extent of the injuries as well as the names of witnesses. You must report the injury to the employer within 90 days. To receive benefits, a claim must be filed within two years of the date of injury.

There is a strong possibility that the insurance company you've been or will be dealing with will try to get you to accept a lesser amount than you deserve. As I mentioned earlier, insurance companies are in the business of making money, not paying you. The less they pay you, the more they make.
IF YOU ARE INJURED BY SOMEONE ELSE'S FAULT, WHAT ARE YOU ENTITLED TO? If you are injured as a result of someone else's negligence, an AUTO ACCIDENT for example, you may be entitled to recover various types of damages:
PAIN AND SUFFERING: This may be a valuable element of your bodily injury claim. This may include physical pain and mental anguish you have suffered and will endure in the future resulting from your injury. These damages may be in addition to your medical expenses and lost earnings.

LOSS OF EARNINGS: You may be entitled to recover the loss of earnings suffered

m your injuries. This may include wages and commissions.
FUTURE LOSS OF EARNINGS: If your injuries permanently limit your ability to ,m, you may recover the value of the reduction of your earning capacity with reasonable Dbability which will occur in the future.
DEATH:Damages for wrongful death may be available for persons related by blood

I marriage, particularly if dependent upon the deceased.
DISFIGUREMENT: If the injury causes scarring or other unsightly marks, you may be t le ,i it d to recover for disfigurement. DAMAGE TO THE MARITAL RELATIONSHIP: Serious injuries to one spouse may cause damage to the mariw relationship. If this occurs, you may be entitled to recover for the oss of affection, assistance, or loss or impairment of the sexual relationship. DAMAGE TO YOUR VEHICLE OR OTHER PERSONAL PROPERTY: You may be entitled to be made whole for damage to your personal property, such as your vehicle.

You may recover for the cost of substitute transportation necessarily incurred while your vehicle is being repaired. WHERE DO YOU GO FROM HERE?

In my experience, the best way to avoid being taken advantage of is to hire a COMPETENT, AGGRESSIVE, STRONG WILLED attorney. The problem is there are so many attorneys, how do you find a qualified attorney? If you are injured, you have only one chance to get the compensation you deserve. One of the most important decisions is choosing the lawyer to take your case. You will have a better chance of making the right decision if some of the myths about

MYTH # 1: EVERY ATTORNEY HAS ABOUT THE SAME AMOUNT OF EXPERIENCE AND TRAINING.

The fact is that experience and training differs greatly. Some attorneys have many years of experience in drafting wills or handling real estate transactions. Why would you want that

lawyer to represent you in an injury case? If you've been injured, you don't want just a paper pusher on your side. You can bet that the insurance companies are familiar with the attorneys and may take advantage of an inexperienced one.

MYTH # 2: IF A LAWYER IS ON TV, HE OR SHE MUST BE THE BEST.

Of course this is not true. Just because a lawyer is on TV, does not mean he is qualified to

handle your case. There are some lawyers who are on TV that have never tried a personal injury case. Some lawyers who advertise on TV don't appear themselves but hire actors. Some lawyers pay a national promotion company to run 1-800 # commercials and then send them the calls. Please don't be fooled by slick commercials. If a lawyer does not have the tools and experience you are looking for, then don't hire him or her.

MYTH # 3: ALL LAWYERS ARE SKILLED IN THE ART OF NEGOTIATING.

Wrong again. Insurance companies don't mess around when it comes to losing money. You need a lawyer who has been involved in numerous negotiations over many years. The truth is, most personal injury cases are settled out of court. If you do not have a lawyer who knows the fine "arf' of negotiation, you could get ripped off.

MYTH # 4: ALL LAWYERS HAVE THE SAME ABILITY TO WRITE AND ORGANIZE THE FACTS.

Absolutely not true. Some lawyers have so may cases they hardly ever look at the file and they rarely talk to their clients. It is a challenge to have one of these lawyers return your phone call. These law firms are sometimes referred to as "factories" or "assembly lines". These lawyers hire paralegals to do most of their work. The bottom line is that no matter how big or small your case may be, it is important to you. You need a lawyer on your side that is I 00% committed to
providing quality, personal service and detailed attention to all clients. A lawyer that will treat your case with the utmost importance that it truly deserves

ONE THING YOU REALLY DON'T WANT IS TO BE PRESSURED.
You must be careful in making an "educated" decision before choosing an attorney to handle
your case. You can not make a good decision if you are being pressured. One of the reasons I prepared this report was to see if I could help. I would like to inforin you of your legal rights and answer your questions without pressuring you. I will do this completely free of charge. Why would I offer you a free of charge consultation? Because I feel we should meet to see how I can help. We will discuss your injury, your legal rights and the course of action that should be taken. Remember that you are under no obligation. No one will pressure you. No one, including myself, wants to be pressured into something they really do not want to do.
As I mentioned earlier, you will not be obligated to me in any way. I simply wish to create an open forum where you can talk freely and comfortably about your case. I will answer your questions and offer any legal advice that I may have. I know this must be a difficult time for you.

If this report makes sense to you, then you probably have some questions. Please feel free to call me while this report is fresh on your mind. Waiting any longer may cause more stress or concern on your part.

You may be wondering how I earn my money and whether you have to pay me an hourly fee. Well, I only get paid when I collect money for my clients who have personal injury claims and they are never required to pay hourly fees. I only get paid if you get paid. So, I have an incentive to devote my time to your case and fight for your rights to receive the kind of compensation that you truly deserve.
You are always free to hire someone else and that is okay. At least you will have the information in this report and any other information you may obtain when we meet. If you believe this approach is fair and you would like to consult with me with no obligation, just give me a call and I will set up a time for us to meet.
Yours truly, David F. Wood Attorney at Law P. S. Remember that getting no help is not the answer to your problem. You can ask me any questions and I will frankly discuss the options available to you. Even after that, you are under no obligation to use me as your attorney. I hope I have made this as simple as possible.
