Call the Cops The 27th Most Trusted Site in Public Safety
A California lawyer is now offering immediate legal advice in accident and injury cases when potential clients dial an “Emergency Lawyer Hotline”.
Lampkin Law Offices, based in Caprica City, California states that by calling them immediately after calling 911, they can give instructions on what to tell first responders when they arrive.
“In a nutshell, by speaking to one of our pre-hospital attorneys immediately after an accident or injury, clients are able to increase the likelihood of successfully litigating a lawsuit and maximizing the monetary award they receive” said Managing Partner Romo Lampkin.
“Most people simply have no idea what steps they should take when they are the victim of an accident or profitable injury” said Lampkin. “We guide them through the entire process, from injury to settlement. We take care of them like we take care of ourselves”.
Lampkin’s firm offers instructions in not only what to tell responders such as EMT’s, fire personnel and police, but also what things to be aware of in the responders’ actions. “Sure, people know such things that complaining of neck pain after a motor vehicle accident can easily result in an insurance settlement from the other driver, but they are unaware that if emergency responders either fail to perform immediate spinal immobilization, or if they don’t do it precisely correct, those responders can be added to the lawsuit, and are a source of additional compensation” stated Mr. Lampkin, himself a former EMT. “We instruct them to look for such things as use of a cervical collar, proper extrication using a spine board and extrication device such as a KED, neurological exams prior to and after extrication, and other fine points that many responders often fail to do exactly to protocol.
Lampkin goes on to state that his attorneys instruct clients on what to say to the police, details that need to be either added to or withheld from official reports in order to make them more litigation-friendly. “We don’t tell them to lie, but we do instruct them on what details they should emphasize and what information not to offer. Clients often say too much, and they need to remember the police aren’t their friends, I am” stated Lampkin.
Lampkin stresses in his advertisements that calling his office as soon as an injury or accident occurs is crucial. “Make the call to 911, then get off the phone with them and get on the phone to me” he states. “Even better, have someone else call 911 while you call us for pre-arrival instructions”.
Lampkin tells the public “While other lawyers chase ambulances, I beat them to the scene”. His clients seem to agree. His Website has many testimonials from satisfied clients such as “Calling Romo Lampkin is the best financial decision I’ve ever made” and “I didn’t think my fall was a big deal, but Lampkin Law Offices made it a big payday”.
