Personal Injury and Wrongful Death
You should never settle for an attorney who is inexperienced and unable to fight for your rights or does not have a good trial record of success. Mr. Eddington is ready, willing, and capable of making insurance companies (whose main concern is their profits), to be held accountable and fully compensate his clients for the full amount of their medical payments, pain and suffering, lost wages, and out-of-pocket expenses. He has never and will never represent an insurance company in litigation against injured victims.
He will most often enter into a written contingency fee relationship whereby he and this firm receives absolutely NO FEE unless or until you receive compensation for your injuries and damages.
