Thank you for visiting the Sandel Law Firm‘s website. I assume you are here looking for specific information as to why you should hire me to represent you or a family member. Let me tell you why I should be your next personal injury attorney. I have insider knowledge that other law firms do not, and it is that insider knowledge that will lead to outstanding results for you and your case.
Other law firms can say that they understand how insurance companies operate, but few can say that they have attorneys who have worked inside an insurance company.
Put A Former Insurance Company Lawyer On Your Side
Before I focused on representing people injured in accidents, I worked directly inside four different insurance companies. Inside the day-to-day operations of the claims office, I worked in many claims jobs, from a claims adjuster to a claims attorney and everything in between. As a result, I know what insurance companies are looking for when they evaluate injury claims, both the good and the bad. Trained in the techniques that insurance companies use to evaluate injury claims, covering such things as property damage and medical terminology, I know how and why one injury is worth more (or less) than another.
I know how the insurance companies try to undermine, then underpay, your injury claim. I know that they are looking you up on social media (Facebook, Twitter, etc.) to see what you are saying to your friends about your claim, to see if you are still doing the same activities that you did before your accident. I know that they are comparing the vehicle damage to your injuries and drawing conclusions based solely on pictures. I know that they think that a “soft-tissue” injury is no big deal. Bottom line: My insider insurance company knowledge gives me the edge against other firms that will allow me to maximize your accident compensation.
Kevin Sandel
Attorney Kevin Sandel, the name partner of our firm, handles all our injury cases from beginning to end. He is a graduate of Miami University and the University of Akron School of Law. He has been a resident of Akron, Ohio most of his life and is dedicated to serving his community, which is why he decided to build his practice here. Prior to opening his law firm nearly 10 years ago, he worked for multiple insurance companies in roles ranging from injury claims adjuster to claims manager to claims attorney. He knows exactly how insurance companies attempt to settle injury claims for the least amount of money possible and uses that knowledge to maximize our clients’ cases. He understands how crashes can leave people suffering; physically, mentally, and financially. Kevin’s top priority is helping our clients regain their lives in those areas. He specializes in various injury cases, but most of our firm’s work involves car crashes.
