You'll walk away laughing with how amazing the results are.
At the beginning I wasn't expecting much from my claim for what my injury was. But going through all the steps and with how thorough it was, it really helped the end results. Derek was absolutely a delight to work with on my claim and helped assure me all through the process and kept me up to date on each stage going forward. It can be a slow process but honestly it was more than worth the wait. At the end of my claim I was offered way more than I expected to ever get and I was beyond overjoyed. I would highly recommend this to anyone and everyone for no matter what kind of claim you need.
