FREE THANKSGIVING HELP:
No family should be without a turkey on Thanksgiving. Some of you have been laid off or let go because of Covid. If you are in that situation our hearts go out to you. Therefore, if you are a subscriber to our Newsletter and cannot afford a turkey dinner for your family call us at 412-281-8700. We will work something out to help. I have been personally amazed over the years that only people who genuinely need help at this time of year actually call for it. That says a lot about you our readers!
HAVE ANY OF YOU BEEN ABLE TO WATCH OUR YOUTUBE VIDEOS CONCERNING INJURY LAW AND CAR ACCIDENTS?
If you have not, can you look us up on YouTube and watch a few of them? There might even be something in there that is of value to you.
WHAT IS NEW AT THE TULLY LAW FIRM:
1) Pam, one of our valuable office paralegals, recently got married! Congratulations Pam from all of us!
2)Mary, our faithful pleasant secretary, celebrated a birthday in October! Happy Birthday Mary!
3)Boss’ Day – I had forgotten all about it. But don’t you know my wonderful loyal staff surprised me with a Boss Day card! Thank you everyone.
4)We have started a new policy at our firm of calling the insurance adjusters on your case at least every 2 weeks to find out the status of any $$ offers to you. Adjusters often delay getting back to us. But we do keep hounding them to take your injury claim seriously.
WHAT DOES BERNIE TULLY HAVE TO BE GRATEFUL FOR AT WORK?
Everything!
Like our dedicated staff of co-workers. They are really the engine that makes the whole operation work. I am so lucky to have Mary, Denise, Pam, Michael and Angie (who does our bookkeeping)! I truly am blessed.
LAW NEWS: WHAT CAN WE DO TO HELP YOU WITH A LIEN YOU MAY HAVE IN YOUR INJURY CASE:
We are usually able to get your lien reduced considerably. The benefit of having a lawyer represent you in cases is the lien holder usually gives you a credit for a percentage of your attorney fees off the lien amount. So if the lien is $100.00 and the attorney fees are $33.00, you get that reduction for what your lien amount is. Instead of paying $100.00 to the company you would only owe $67.00. If you do not have an attorney a lot of times that lien holder will not give you anything off the bill. Something to think about readers!
WRITS:
Is there a way to preserve or stop the running of the statute of limitations in your case, other than filing a Complaint in Civil Action? Yes and it is called a Writ of Summons. What this does is just sue the wrongdoer by name and not go into any of the specific allegations that a Complaint in Civil Action does. It is designed to make a simple 2 page filing available to the public to preserve the statute of limitations. Call us for details on this. We have done many of them.
ARBITRATIONS:
Even though jury trials in accident cases have been severely limited in Western Pennsylvania, our law firm is still doing arbitration cases on a regular basis. Arbitration cases are for claims of under $35,000 in Allegheny County. These cases are first heard by 3 randomly selected attorneys who hear the evidence and render a $$ verdict for you. Michael has recently done several arbitration cases and has gotten good results in them! If you have been seriously hurt in an accident call us!
SPORTS:
As we write this Newsletter our Pittsburgh Steelers are undefeated and taking on the Tennessee Titans this week! Go Steelers!
Penguins: The Pens have made some difficult trade moves including trading goalie Matt Murray. Hope it all works out for the Pens.
Pirates: Well if the Tampa Bay Rays can make the World Series on a low budget maybe we can too!
