This area of the law requires an attorney who has specialized knowledge of not only motor vehicle accident litigation, but no-fault law and complex insurance coverage issues. There are often ways to obtain additional insurance coverage – leading to significantly higher settlements and verdicts -- which will never be uncovered without representation by a qualified expert in the field. Jason Shapiro, founder of Shapiro Law Offices, devotes several chapters in his textbook, The Lawyers’ Guide to Personal Injury Law, discussing the many facets involved in properly handling motor vehicle accident cases -- including techniques to uncover addition insurance coverage. Shapiro Law Offices has shown its level of expertise in this field by obtaining millions of dollars in recoveries for clients injured as a result of motor vehicle accidents.
