How to Protect Your Rights When Mass Disaster Strikes

If you are reading this guide because you or a loved one has just been the victim of a catastrophic event, please accept our deepest sympathies. We understand that this is a time filled with grief and emotional distress. Our only motive in providing this information is to assist in protecting your legal rights and in avoiding unnecessary anguish.

Despite the deep sadness that you are feeling, this is also a time in which you may have to make some informed decisions having serious implications for the future. One of those decisions is whether to hire a lawyer to pursue a lawsuit against those who may be responsible for the disaster. If you do decide to hire a lawyer then you should select a qualified lawyer who will best suit your needs before taking any actions that might jeopardize your rights. This brochure is offered to assist in the decision making process.
