Injury.com Terms and Conditions of Services
PLEASE READ THIS FORM CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THE INJURY.COM WEBSITE.
Injury.com presents useful information about possible causes of action that may lead to seeking legal remedies and compensation for injured parties due to willful, negligent, or unintentional conduct of another. We also provide a service to connect individuals with attorneys that can provide an initial consultation about likely outcomes for a particular case. This does NOT create an Attorney/Client relationship, nor does it obligate you to retain their services. Likewise, the attorney is not obligated to represent you. After initial consultation you and the attorney may determine that your case has merit and enter into a written agreement for representation. By using this site you acknowledge and agree with these terms and conditions. We reserve the right to modify or change this policy without prior notice, at which time the new and published policy shall take effect and continued use of this site acknowledges acceptance of changes.
Background
Gathering and presenting useful information regarding general areas involving personal injury and related areas of concern to the public at large is our main focus. We strive to provide useful, accurate, and timely information, but we cannot make any guarantees about completeness or correctness of this information. We also acknowledge that we cannot cover every conceivable injury subject or product recalls and safety alerts. Injury.com also provides a free service to connect you with one or more attorneys in your jurisdiction that can discuss your case and options with you. We do not guarantee participation of attorneys in every state. We also cannot be responsible for results and satisfaction of outcomes of participating attorneys. Retaining an attorney is an important decision that should be made after consideration and review of the qualifications and experience of the attorney and/or law firm.
Submission of Personal Information
By supplying your contact information you give permission to us to distribute your information to third party sources. We will not sell or distribute your contact and personal information to any other source without your permission. Please do NOT submit confidential information to us that you do not wish to disclose. Once an attorney contacts you by phone or in person then you can discuss with them the particulars that relate to your case, and the attorney/client privilege is invoked. If the attorney is willing to provide an initial consultation it is usually but not always free of charge. It is your responsibility to discuss this beforehand with the participating attorney. Fees for services vary and many personal injury attorneys perform on a contingency basis where the fees are based upon a percentage of the recovery. You should be aware that there may be certain costs incurred during the process that have no relation to the attorney’s fees.
Disclosures Regarding Attorney Advertising
Many jurisdictions may consider this site to be a form of advertising. Although it is not illegal or unethical for an attorney to advertise their services, an individual should not rely solely on the advertisement as the basis of their decision to retain a specific attorney. Anyone considering hiring an attorney can and should investigate the credentials and qualifications purported by the attorney. You have the right to request background information about their areas of expertise and the number of years that they have worked in litigation and actual trial experience. “Ambulance chasing” or actively pursuing “victims of accidents” by an attorney is considered illegal and unethical. By your submission of personal information and clicking “Request Help” on our form to request consultation from an attorney you have initiated and consented to the contact request.
External Links
Our site contains external links to other web sites that are not under Injury.com’s domain or control. We are not responsible for the other site’s content, reliability, or subsequent privacy policy. We do not imply endorsement of links to other sites, products, and/or services. It is at the user’s discretion to follow the links.
Attorney Ethics Notice
If you are an attorney and would like to participate in this site you acknowledge that you are a member in good standing with your State Bar Association, that the rules of professional conduct apply to your participation, and that you shall abide by such rules. The rules include, but are not limited to, competent representation, diligence and promptness of representation, and misrepresentations of facts about qualifications and services.
Disclaimer of Warranties
Injury.com is neither a law firm nor a medical office. The information we provide is general in nature and should not be construed as legal or medical advice. If you have a specific legal problem that needs addressed, only a licensed attorney practicing in your state is qualified to provide you specific legal advice, as each state may have variations that may have an impact on your case. Likewise, if you have a medical condition, we urge you to seek a doctor’s advice and treatment. Your use of this site is at your sole risk. Our forwarding on a user’s contact request to an attorney is solely as a convenience to the user and does not constitute an endorsement or warranty, express or implied, as to the quality of representation, satisfaction of service, or guarantee of outcome. Every case has its own unique circumstances and situations that will ultimately determine the final outcome. No attorney can guarantee what that outcome will be; they can only advise you about the probabilities based on your unique case and their own previous experience in similar matters. We highly recommend that you ask for and understand a written retainer agreement that establishes the terms and nature of the representation, including fees and expenses, prior to retaining any attorney.
Limitation of Liability
