PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING TERMS AND CONDITIONS & LEGAL NOTICES (“THIS AGREEMENT”) CAREFULLY BEFORE USING ANY OF THE PERSONAL INJURY HELP CENTER WEBSITES (the “Site”). These terms explain your (and our) rights under this Agreement, and make certain disclosures required by the law. By using the Site, you give your assent to the terms of this Agreement. If you do not agree to these terms, you may not use the Site. The Personal Injury Help Center, Inc. (“We” or “Our”) has the right, in our sole discretion, to modify, add, or remove any terms or conditions of this Agreement without giving individual notice to you, by posting the changes on the Site. Your continuing use of the Site signifies your acceptance of any such changes.
The purpose of this site is to educate the general public about personal injury topics and to allow users to request to be contacted by a lawyer or advocate for the purpose of discussing their case and the possibility of representation. You understand that The Personal Injury Help Center, Inc. does not endorse any lawyer or advocate or vouch for the quality of their services. The Personal Injury Help Center, Inc. is not a lawyer referral service. It is attorney advertising for which the subscribing attorneys and advocates pay a fee to the owners of the Site. It is your decision alone whether or not to work with a lawyer or advocate. There may be more than one subscriber to this advertising service who covers the area where you reside. By submitting a request to the Site, you will be provided contact information for an attorney or advocate who serves the area where you live and the attorney or advocate will be provided your contact information. The assignment of an attorney or advocate in response to your submission does not in any way constitute an evaluation of the suitability of that attorney or advocate for handling your particular claim.
NOTE: some states require special disclosures in connection with attorney advertising. Those disclosures are listed at the bottom of this Disclaimer. You should review the disclaimer (if any) that applies to the state where you reside.
The Personal Injury Help Center, Inc. is not a law firm. The lawyers or advocates whose names are provided through the Site pay the owners of the site for the right to be included. The Personal Injury Help Center, Inc. does not receive any portion of any lawyer’s or any advocate’s fees and any arrangements between you and any lawyer or advocate do not involve The Personal Injury Help Center, Inc. in any way.
The Personal Injury Help Center, Inc. does not in any way evaluate or otherwise state any opinion about your personal injury claim. If you choose to be assisted by the lawyer or advocate identified by your use of the Site, that lawyer or advocate is solely responsible for the evaluation of your claim and any assistance provided to you in pursuing your claim.
DO NOT ACT BASED ON ANY INFORMATION CONTAINED ON THE SITE WITHOUT FIRST RETAINING THE ADVICE OF AN ATTORNEY.
THIS WEBSITE IS AN ADVERTISEMENT OF LEGAL SERVICES and nothing on the Site should be construed as legal advice. This site serves only to provide information, and the information contained within the Site is not guaranteed to be correct, complete, current, or to reflect recent legal developments and/or legal variances among different jurisdictions. The opinions expressed and information contained in this Site do not necessarily reflect the opinions of the lawyers or advocates, their clients, affiliates, partners, or any other parties who subscribe to or use the services of The Personal Injury Help Center, Inc.. This Site is not intended to be a substitute for legal advice, and thus should not be used for this purpose. Neither The Personal Injury Help Center, Inc. nor any of its licensors provides legal advice. A licensor may provide legal advice in the event you choose to engage such licensor to act as your legal counsel or advocate. Using this Site does not create an attorney-client relationship between you and the attorneys or advocates, their clients, affiliates, partners, or any other attorney or advocate associated with the Site. Neither receiving an e-mail nor “posting” on the Site creates an attorney-client relationship.
The applicable lawyer or advocate is solely responsible for providing services to you. Further, you agree that The Personal Injury Help Center, Inc. shall not be liable for any damages or costs of any type arising out of or in any way associated with your use of such services (including, without limitation, malpractice claims). You also agree that any claim arising out of your relationship with an attorney or advocate shall be brought solely against such attorney or advocate, as The Personal Injury Help Center, Inc. is only assisting lawyers and advocates market their respective practices. Thus, neither The Personal Injury Help Center, Inc. nor any of its licensors or affiliates shall be included within any such claim.
By submitting your information to us, you agree that we may release such information to attorneys or advocates who have subscribed to advertise their services on the Site, or to any other attorneys or advocates. You also agree that such attorneys or advocates are free to contact you to discuss your case, unless you submit a written request expressing your desire not to be contacted. We shall never be obligated to release any submitted information to our unaffiliated sponsoring lawyers or advocates or any other lawyers or advocates, but may or may not do so at our sole discretion. Although we may accept your submitted information on the Site, we do not offer any advice on whether you may have remedies under the law. If an attorney or advocate chooses to represent you after discussing your case, he/she will enter into a separate agreement directly with you to create a professional relationship between you and him/her. In the meantime, you are encouraged to seek the advice of other counsel to ensure that all deadlines governing your personal injury claim are met. You hereby agree that, by performing any of the actions described above, you are soliciting and actively requesting a contact by telephone or e-mail and, as such, you may be contacted by telephone or e-mail as set forth in this Agreement and in our Privacy Policy, notwithstanding the listing of your telephone number and/or e-mail address in any applicable do-not-call registries.

THIS SITE MAY CONTAIN ATTORNEY ADVERTISING MATERIAL OR LAWYER ADVERTISEMENTS Some jurisdictions may consider the Site to be a form of advertising for legal services and as such may require specific disclosures. Please read the following carefully: THIS IS AN ADVERTISEMENT. The determination of the need for legal services and the choice of a lawyer are extremely important decisions and should not be based solely upon advertisements. Anyone considering a lawyer should independently investigate the lawyer’s credentials and ability, and not rely upon advertisements or self-proclaimed expertise. Hiring a lawyer is an important process that should not be based solely upon advertisements.
Before you hire any lawyer or advocate, ask them to send you information about their qualifications and experience. Additional information about lawyers or law firms may also be obtained by contacting the Bar Association in the State in which such lawyers or law firms are licensed.
No representation is made that the quality of the legal services to be performed is greater than the quality of legal services performed by other lawyers. Memberships and offices in legal fraternities and legal societies, technical and professional licenses, and memberships in scientific, technical and professional associations and societies of law or fields of practice do not mean that a lawyer is a specialist, expert, authority or is certified in a particular field of law, nor do such memberships or licenses mean that such a lawyer is more expert or competent than any other lawyer.
A description or indication of limitation of practice does not mean that any agency or board has certified such lawyer as a specialist, expert or authority in an indicated field of law practice, nor does it mean that such lawyer is more expert or competent than any other lawyer. We urge all potential clients to make their own independent investigation and evaluation of any lawyer being considered.
Unless specifically otherwise indicated, none of the attorneys subscribing to the Site are certified by any legal specialty certifying entity or body. The Personal Injury Help Center, Inc. has not independently verified the any attorney subscribing to the Site has been certified as a legal specialist. You should contact the appropriate office in the state where you reside to determine whether any attorney subscribing to the Site has been certified as a legal specialist. The fact that certain attorneys or firms concentrate their practices in personal injury cases (or any other field) is not meant to imply that they have gained any specific type of certification in these areas. Indeed, many states do not recognize certifications of specialties in the practice of law and explicitly state that any such certificate, award or recognition is not a requirement to practice law in those states.

Within the Site, we may include descriptions of successful lawsuits brought by Law Firms, or other attorneys not affiliated with us or the Site. These descriptions are not meant to create any unjustified expectations that similar results can be obtained for others, for each case turns on its own specific factual and legal circumstances. No attorney can guarantee the success of a case and past successes even in very similar lawsuits do not mean that success in a subsequent case is guaranteed or even likely. Past success cannot be an assurance of future success because each case must be decided on its own merits. Results depend upon a variety of factors unique to each case.
The material on the Site is not intended to, and does not, include any advertisements for legal services that contain dramatizations, testimonials or endorsements. This site is intended to provide useful,
factual information presented in a non-sensational, objective and understandable manner. The images and pictures on this site are not meant to represent or depict actual persons or events, but rather are merely provided for illustrative purposes only.
The Site is not intended for the purpose of advertising legal services to be performed in any state solely by the Law Firms, unless they are specifically licensed to practice in that respective State. To the extent that the Site does not comply with the laws or regulations of any jurisdiction in which it may be received, the lawyers who subscribe to the Site wish to, and will not knowingly, accept legal representation based on or resulting from the use of the Site from a person located in that jurisdiction. None of the lawyers who subscribe to the Site wish to, or knowingly will, accept legal representation based on or resulting from the use of the Site from a person located outside the United States.
