Altoona PA Injury Lawyer Exposes the Insurance Claims Industry
See the impressive background of Attorney Doug Stoehr who formerly was an insurance claims man at: http://www.stoehrlaw.com . Attorney Doug Stoehr of Altoona, Pennsylvania, handles personal injury claims for injured parties. He used to work for the other side as an insurance claims representative. As a claims man Doug was trained to minimize the value of your case and settle for the least amount possible. In fact, claims representatives would hold contests to see who could get the cheapest settlement that day!

Doug explains in this video the three major reasons for hiring a personal injury attorney instead of handling the claim yourself. No. 1, an attorney almost always gets you a better result. In fact, research done by major insurance companies has revealed that they are better off financially if an attorney does not get involved. No. 2, a good personal injury attorney knows how to develop the medical aspect of your claim. Without the right type of medical treatment, and proper documentation, the value of your claim sizzles. This is especially true with those insurance companies who use computers to determine the value of your claim instead of human analysis. No. 3, you need to protect your rights. Some insurance claims representatives will tell you that you cannot make a claim under Pennsylvania law, or give you the impression that your claim is not worth pursuing. Do NOT let this happen to you. Call Attorney Doug Stoehr at (814) 946-4100 for a free evaluation of your potential personal injury claim.

Do I need uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage for my Pennsylvania automobile policy?
If hurt in a car wreck in Pennsylvania, see my website at http://www.stoehrlaw.com for more information. I used to be an insurance claims representative working for the other side. I now represent YOU, the injured victim. Call me at (814) 946-4100 for a FREE evaluation of your claim.

I have over 20-years of experience helping people in Altoona, Johnstown, Bedford, Somerset, State College, Clearfield and Huntingdon.

Purchasing automobile insurance is a necessary evil. No one wants to do it, and very few take the time to think about their own coverage. Nowhere is this more apparent than the area of uninsured and underinsured coverage. No one wants to be uninsured or underinsured, but what does this really mean?

Uninsured motorists (UM) coverage is available for you if you are injured through the fault of someone else who drives an automobile without insurance coverage. Underinsured motorists (UIM) coverage protects you if the other driver carries some liability coverage, but not enough to adequately compensate you. UM and UIM coverage is not particularly expensive, so why do people not purchase this? I have been given explanations such as "I never thought that I would need it" and "I don't know what this is, nobody told me about it."

Check out the "Free Auto Insurance Review" form on my website at http://www.stoehrsmithlaw.com/Resources-Info/Auto-Insurance-Coverage-Review-Form.shtml, to see if you carry sufficient automobile insurance to protect you in the event of a car accident. Here you can fill in the blanks with the type of coverage you are contemplating purchasing. Based upon my experience, I will call you and give you my opinion as to whether you are adequately insured.

Automobile insurance is necessary so you might as well do it right. Make certain that you carry uninsured and underinsured motorists coverage in an amount equal to the liability limits on your insurance policy.

PA Auto Insurance - Altoona Injury Lawyer Recommends Full Tort
Visit http://www.stoehrlaw.com or Call 814-946-4100 for a free Consultation. I am a Pennsylvania injury lawyer and I represent injured victims in car accidents. Often consumers believe full coverage means full tort, but it does not. In fact, full coverage has no defined meaning within the Pennsylvania Motor Vehicle Code. Full coverage is a phrase coined to mean collision, comprehensive and liability coverage. On the other hand, full tort allows you to pursue a personal injury claim for your bodily injuries if you are injured due to the fault of another.

I work in Blair, Somerset, Cambria, Bedford, Clearfield, Huntingdon and Centre counties. I have been a PA Super Lawyer for 3 consecutive years (http://www.superlawyers.com/pennsylvania/lawyer/Douglas-V-Stoehr/e93f2baf-de99-40da-a78a-fd623a8d00ef.html), have settled million dollar cases (http://www.milliondollaradvocates.com), and am rated "Superb-10" by AVVO (http://www.avvo.com/attorneys/16602-pa-douglas-stoehr-628617.html) , an attorney rating service. My office returns all calls. I was a claims representative at one time. I now work for YOU, the injured victim.
