Paralegals are the attorney’s support staff. They are crucial to the legal process and assist the attorneys in administrative tasks, such as handling paperwork, filing documents, and obtaining client information. It is very common for you to work with the paralegals at a law firm, as they are helping the attorneys prepare your case.

When you have been involved in an accident, it is common for an insurance company to offer you a sum of money and provide you with a release to sign. This may come in the form of a hard copy, or even electronic paperwork asking for your signature. If you accept this check and sign the release, chances are you will be releasing your rights to pursue a claim against the tortfeasor. This means that you will not be able to bring a claim. It is important to contact a personal injury attorney to review the paperwork before accepting any money. That way, the attorney can make sure you are not unknowingly settling your claim for an amount significantly inferior to the compensation you deserve.
