Hickey & Turim

What Hickey & Turim Does

Hickey & Turim is all about helping people who have been hurt. If an accident, mistake, or unsafe condition caused an injury, their lawyers step in. They investigate, gather proof, and build a strong case to fight for compensation.

Their work goes beyond money. It’s about making sure clients have the resources they need to pay medical bills, cover lost wages, and deal with the emotional impact of an injury.

Why People Call Injury Lawyers

At first, many people think they can handle an accident claim on their own. They trust the insurance company will cover their costs. Sadly, that’s rarely the case.

Insurance companies have one main goal: saving money. They often offer low settlements, delay payments, or try to blame the victim. Without a lawyer, it’s easy to get pressured into accepting less than what’s fair.

Hickey & Turim attorneys know these tactics and push back. They stand up for their clients so no one has to fight alone.

Common Cases Hickey & Turim Handles

Hickey & Turim takes on many types of personal injury cases. Here are some of the most common ones.

Car Accidents

Car crashes are stressful, even when they seem minor. Injuries like whiplash or back pain can last for months or years. Lawyers collect police reports, medical records, and photos to show the full impact of the crash.

Truck Accidents

Accidents involving semi-trucks are often serious. These cases are complicated because trucking companies, drivers, and insurers may all share responsibility. Hickey & Turim digs into safety logs, driver records, and company practices to uncover the truth.

Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcyclists are especially vulnerable. Even with helmets and protective gear, a crash can cause life-changing injuries. Insurance companies sometimes unfairly blame riders, but Hickey & Turim works hard to prove what really happened.

Workplace Injuries

Workplace injuries can leave people without the ability to earn a living. Hickey & Turim helps employees file claims, challenges unsafe work practices, and makes sure workers are treated fairly.

Slip and Fall Accidents

Slippery floors, broken steps, or poorly maintained property can cause serious falls. Lawyers prove when a property owner was careless and hold them responsible.

Wrongful Death

Losing a loved one is one of the hardest experiences a family can face. Hickey & Turim helps families file wrongful death claims to cover funeral costs, lost income, and emotional pain.

Medical Mistakes

Doctors and hospitals sometimes make errors that harm patients. These cases are challenging,

but the firm works with medical experts to prove when care fell short of standards.

The Lawsuit Process Explained

Filing a lawsuit can sound overwhelming. But it’s easier to understand when broken down into steps:

1. Case Review – The client meets with lawyers to share their story.

2. Investigation – Attorneys collect records, photos, and witness accounts.

3. Filing – The case is officially filed in court.

4. Discovery – Both sides share evidence and take depositions.

5. Negotiation – Lawyers try to reach a fair settlement.

6. Trial – If no deal is reached, the case goes before a judge or jury.

Even when lawsuits are filed, many cases settle before reaching trial. But preparing every case as if it will go to court makes insurance companies take Hickey & Turim seriously.

Civil Rights and Injury Law

Personal injury law is closely tied to civil rights. Every person has the right to safety and fair treatment. When unsafe conditions or negligence cause harm, those rights are violated.

By holding people and companies accountable, Hickey & Turim protects not only their clients but also the larger community. Their cases can encourage safer roads, workplaces, and businesses.

How Lawyers Support Clients

Being injured often leaves people feeling powerless. Hickey & Turim supports clients by:

• Explaining each step in plain language

• Handling stressful calls with insurance companies

• Making sure all paperwork is done right and on time

• Checking in regularly so clients feel informed

This kind of support helps people feel less overwhelmed and more confident in the process.

What Sets Hickey & Turim Apart

Some firms push for fast settlements, even when it means less money for the client. Hickey & Turim takes a different approach. They prepare every case as if it will go to trial. That level of

preparation often leads to stronger settlements.

Clients also appreciate how the firm treats them like real people, not just case files. Every story matters, and the attorneys listen closely to understand each client’s struggles.

Taking the First Step

Many people hesitate to call a lawyer because they’re worried about the cost. But Hickey & Turim offers free consultations. Clients can share their story and get advice without paying anything upfront.

They also work on a contingency fee, meaning they only get paid if the client wins. This makes legal help available to anyone, no matter their financial situation.

Insurance Companies and Their Tactics

Insurance companies are not easy to deal with. They may:

• Blame the injured person

• Offer quick but low settlements

• Delay the process to wear people down

• Claim the injury isn’t serious

Hickey & Turim attorneys know these tactics inside and out. They bring strong evidence, expert opinions, and trial readiness to the table.

The Emotional Toll of Accidents

Accidents aren’t just about physical injuries. Many people deal with anxiety, depression, or fear after being hurt. For example, someone in a car crash may struggle to drive again.

Hickey & Turim includes emotional suffering in their cases, fighting for compensation that covers therapy, counseling, and mental health care.

The Impact on Families

When one person is injured, the entire family feels the weight. Spouses may become caregivers. Kids may see their parent in pain and worry about the future. Bills can pile up quickly.

Lawyers fight for compensation that helps families too, covering lost income, caregiving costs, and other challenges.

Myths About Personal Injury Lawyers

There are a lot of myths that keep people from calling a lawyer. Here are some common ones:

• “Lawyers are too expensive.” Most injury lawyers only get paid if you win.

• “My injury isn’t big enough.” Even smaller injuries can have long-term costs.

• “Cases take forever.” Some do, but many are settled within months.

• “Lawyers don’t care about people.” A good firm cares deeply about clients’ recovery and rights.

Client Story: Mike’s Construction Accident

Mike worked in construction when faulty equipment caused a fall. He injured his back and couldn’t return to heavy labor. His employer tried to claim he was at fault.

Hickey & Turim investigated, showing the equipment hadn’t been maintained. Mike received compensation that covered medical bills, lost wages, and retraining for a new job.

Client Story: Sarah’s Slip and Fall

Sarah slipped in a grocery store because of a wet floor with no warning sign. She broke her wrist and needed surgery.

The store’s insurance company tried to argue she wasn’t paying attention. Hickey & Turim found video footage proving the floor hadn’t been cleaned or marked. Sarah got a settlement that paid for her medical care and time off work.

Building Strong Cases

Hickey & Turim builds strong cases by:

• Gathering detailed records

• Working with doctors and experts

• Showing how injuries affect daily life and future work

• Preparing clear arguments for trial

This thorough approach makes it harder for insurance companies to deny responsibility.

Why Time Matters

Accident claims have strict deadlines called statutes of limitations. If someone waits too long, they may lose the chance to file.

Quick action also helps preserve evidence, like witness statements or security camera footage. Reaching out to a lawyer soon after an accident is always the best choice.

Long-Term Costs of Injuries

Some injuries never fully heal. People may deal with chronic pain, limited mobility, or the need for ongoing care.

Hickey & Turim fights for compensation that covers long-term costs like physical therapy, medication, and loss of future earnings.

Hickey & Turim in the Community

The firm isn’t just about cases—it’s about people. Hickey & Turim has built trust in their community by helping families through some of the hardest times in their lives. Many clients recommend them to friends and family, which shows how deeply they care about their work.

Moving Forward After an Accident

Recovery takes time, patience, and support. While lawyers can’t undo what happened, they can make the path forward easier.

Compensation helps pay medical bills, cover therapy, and provide financial stability. It allows families to focus on healing instead of worrying about money.

FINAL THOUGHTS

Accidents and injuries turn lives upside down. The stress, pain, and uncertainty can feel overwhelming, but no one has to face it alone.

Hickey & Turim stands by their clients, fighting insurance companies, protecting civil rights, and working for fair outcomes. They bring strength, guidance, and hope to people during

their hardest moments.

At the end of the day, their mission is about more than money. It’s about fairness, dignity, and helping families move forward after life takes an unexpected turn.
