Will a motorcycle accident attorney for my personal injury case cost me a lot of money? Darrell Castle, the motorcycle accident lawyer Memphis trusts, thinks the opposite might be true. What Will Hiring a Motorcycle Accident Lawyer Cost Me? Hiring an attorney for a motorcycle accident case will cost you nothing unless that attorney wins your case and recovers money. Then that attorney would charge you a percentage of whatever he recovers – a percentage that you and he have already agreed to in writing before the case started. He will have a written contract with you before the case starts setting out what his percentage is in case he wins, and so forth. So it costs you nothing unless
By: Darrell Castle What holds doctors accountable? Medical malpractice litigation through the civil justice system. Doctors are humans. Humans make mistakes. That’s a simple truth. No one is perfect therefore we’re all going to mess up in our lines of employment. However, doctors hold their patient’s lives in their hands. So when they make mistakes, it can cost their patients much more than a little headache and frustration. It can cost them their health, ability and sometimes even their lives. That’s why, if you or a loved one fall victim to medical malpractice, you need to do something about it. You need to hold the doctor accountable while fighting for compensation for medical bills, pain, suffering and more. A personal
Improving your credit score after a bankruptcy You’ve completed your bankruptcy. Your debt that was overwhelming you is gone, you have control of your life again and you’ve created a fresh start to a better financial future. Now what? It’s time to re-establish and rebuild your credit! Despite what some attorneys may tell you, a bankruptcy cannot legally be removed from your credit report. However, with the bankruptcy on your report, you can still rebuild your credit to a good score. It’s going to take some work, though. Anything worth value is going to take work, and your credit is no different. A bankruptcy is a fresh start, but what are you going to do with that start? This is
The Stress of Dog Attacks on Mail Carriers A dog sits at the window. He sees a big man walk up with something scary in his arm. The dog barks. The man leaves. In the dog’s mind, his barking made the threat go away. The next day, it happens again. And the next day. And the next. The dog starts to think he needs to do even more to fend off the threat. So over time, he barks even harder, starts to growl, and even becomes aggressive with the man. Eventually the dog gets out and attacks. That is the true story of what happens to over 5,000 mail carriers a year. Dog attacks are a huge problem for the
Nursing Home Abuse in Memphis Putting our loved ones in an assisted living or nursing home can be an emotionally difficult decision. The choice is hard on everyone involved and finding the right nursing home is no easy task. There are many factors that go into choosing the right nursing home for your loved one that range from location to price, and quality of care. Perhaps the most important of all these elderly home decision factors is quality of care. We have heard and seen far too many cases of obvious nursing home neglect throughout the years and there have been some tragic consequences from putting your loved one in a home that is not properly run with inattentive and
Driverless cars are no longer just an idea out of Minority Report. Tesla, Google, Apple, and other companies are developing the technology to let you drive hands-free. And down the road (pun intended), the plan is to make these cars fully autonomous, meaning they won’t need anyone to direct the driving. There are a lot of problems with driverless cars, and it will take some time to work out the kinks. In my opinion, no vehicle operating at the speed cars do will ever fully be safe; but I can certainly see how driverless cars could be more safe than what we have right now, especially after what I see every day as a Memphis car crash injury lawyer. There

This is a wonderful story from someone who filled out Chapter 13 bankruptcy paperwork with our firm, but ultimately decided not to sign with us, and then moved across the country to the Pacific Northwest. Soon he had to come back to Memphis for his court hearing. Fortunately he’d already met us and our very own Hollis Craft, whose very impressive bio you can read here. This is what happened when he arrived: “I paid for my round trip ticket to Memphis, and had a nightmarish experience at some broken hotel, but I wouldn’t miss my appointment for anything. I arrived at the court at 11:30. I thought I had my mission completed until I was informed that without my
How long do you have to wait to buy a house after your Chapter 7 bankruptcy? Video Transcript Remember that Chapter 7 is a complete discharge of debts. It’s not a repayment plan. And unlike Chapter 13, it’s not going to go on for a few years; it’s going to go on for a few months. From the time you file your Chapter 7 (most of the time, unless there’s some problem with it that has to be resolved), in a period of three to four months it’s going to be discharged and completely finished as far as you’re concerned. And that means that all of your debt – unsecured and so forth – will be gone, and
You were driving down a street in your neighborhood on the way to work one day. Everything was fine until all of the sudden another car ran a stop sign and hit you. You are a little shocked and confused at first but you aren’t hurting – maybe just feeling a little discomfort. However, you’re already going to be late for work and you have a big presentation today so you finish up at the scene of the wreck and then get a ride to work, without going to the doctor. A week later, your back starts to hurt. The pain worsens enough to cause you to see a doctor. You find out you’re feeling delayed pain from the car
