2. Ways to Select the Right Criminal
Defense Lawyer
First of all, do not be fooled by advertising. The
criminal defense lawyer with the greatest
advertisement in the Yellow Pages is not necessarily
the best. The leading criminal defense lawyers in
big cities do not advertise at all.
They don't need to. They get their company with
repeat offenders, recommendations, publicity, and
word of mouth. A flashy advertisement does not a
great lawyer make. Do your research, and select a
criminal defense lawyer with a solid credibility.

3. Ways to Select the Right Criminal
Defense Lawyer
Second, do not be scared to go shopping around. You do not
should preserve the first criminal defense attorney who
provides you a cost-free appointment. Employing a criminal
defense lawyer is a major occasion. It is more vital than
shopping for a vehicle, and you do not purchase the first
vehicle you see on the lot. You learn about them, take them
for test drives.
Explain to the attorney that you are meeting other lawyers to
be sure you choose the most suitable for your needs. He'll
comprehend. And if he doesn't, if he is insecure, he most
likely isn't the very best criminal defense lawyer for you.

4. Ways to Select the Right Criminal
Defense Lawyer
Thirdly, you ought to comprehend the nature of
legal fees. Many criminal defense lawyer will
certainly offer you the choice of a flat cost for all
legal services performed or a hourly rate.
The criminal defense lawyer should describe
these choices to you in terrific information, and
help you to choose the choice that is right for
you, not for him and his law firm.

5. Ways to Select the Right Criminal
Defense Lawyer
Fourth, remember that in some cases the right criminal
defense lawyer is the public protector. If you cannot pay
for a correct criminal defense lawyer, one will certainly be
selected to you by the Court. Some public protectors are
more knowledgeable and better at their jobs than some
attorneys in the economic sector, specifically those who
charge lower legal fees.
Discover out the credibility of the public protectors in
your jurisdiction so that you can make an educated
choice.

11. Motor Vehicle Accidents
A serious accident can change your entire life in a matter of
seconds. When you are unable to work and have extensive
medical bills, it is imperative that the insurance company
quickly pay the money you are owed. Unfortunately, insurers
aren’t usually so enthusiastic about cutting you a check and
can put up quite a fight. Our accident attorneys know how to
hold insurers to their obligations and will work to get you
compensated quickly.
Our founding attorney, Paul Uricchio, represented persons
seriously injured in automobile, motorcycle, and trucking
accidents for over 40 years. At Uricchio Law Firm, we are well
equipped to deal with the insurance company and make sure
you are fully informed of all the money you are entitled to—not
just what they are telling you about.

claim. We will seek to tap into all possible sources of
compensation, including your health insurance, Personal Injury
Protection coverage, uninsured / underinsured motorist
coverage, and the insurance company of the negligent driver.

13. Uninsured / Underinsured
Motorist Coverage
Many people do not fully understand the automobile
insurance coverage they have. Insurance companies often
take advantage of this lack of knowledge by offering
accident victims less than they are entitled to. One of the
best sources for accident compensation is your uninsured /
underinsured
motorist
coverage.
This
provides
compensation in situations where the at-fault driver is not
insured or has inadequate liability insurance, and in cases
involving hit-and-run accidents.

14. Uninsured / Underinsured
Motorist Coverage
Uninsured / underinsured coverage is portable under South
Carolina law. It can apply not just to a car accident where
you are the driver, but also when you are injured in a
motorcycle accident, a pedestrian accident, or as a
passenger in another vehicle. In addition, family members
may be covered by your policy.
Uricchio Law Firm takes full advantage of the provisions
contained in uninsured / underinsured motorist policies—
and will work diligently to help you obtain full compensation
for your injuries and losses.

21. Personal Injury:
Premises Liability
The legal theory of “premises liability” holds owners and
occupiers of property legally responsible for accidents and
injuries that occur on that property. The types of incidents
that give rise to premises liability claims can range from a
slip and fall on a public sidewalk to an injury suffered on an
amusement park ride.

22. Personal Injury:
Premises Liability
The liability of owners and occupiers of property will vary
depending on the legal rules and principles in place in the
state where the premises liability injury occurred. In some
states, the court will focus on the status of the injured
visitor in determining the liability of the owner or occupier.
In other states, the focus will be on the condition of the
property and the activities of both the owner and visitor.
The Uricchio Law Firm will investigate any claim based on
premise liability.
If you or someone you love has suffered due to another’s
neglect, contact us for a free case evaluation at
843.795.9300.

23. Personal Injury:
Products Liability
An individual who has been injured using a product may have
the right to pursue a claim against the manufacturer,
wholesaler, store, or individual that sold the defective product.
In such cases, the injured party may be able to collect
compensation for their injuries.
Conditions that may cause an individual to be injured include:
•
•
•
The product was improperly manufactured
The product may have been improperly designed
Absence of proper warning about the use of the product.
If you feel that you may have a product liability claim contact
our office for a free case evaluation.

24. Personal Injury:
Sexual Assault
Each year, millions of people are victimized by violent crime.
Unfortunately, most sexual abuse crimes are committed by
someone
the
victim
knows
such
as
a
school
teacher, minister, medical provider, relative, or family friend. In
most cases, the victim feels helpless and is too afraid or
embarrassed to come forward.
The Uricchio Law Firm is equipped with the knowledge and
resources to help assist victims and their families pursue
justice, improve
public safety,
and seek
monetary
compensation.
If you feel that you or someone you know may be a victim of
sexual abuse, contact our office at 843.795.9300 so that we
can help assist you through this traumatic experience.

25. Personal Injury:
Animal Attacks
Animal
attacks
can
result
in
serious
and,
at
times, permanent injuries. The most common type of
animal attack is a dog bite. Unfortunately, most dog bite
victims are children. It is not uncommon in today’s society
for dog owners to train their dogs to be overly aggressive
for the purposes of protection and even dog fighting.
Often, young children cannot tell the difference between
what looks like a playful dog and an aggressive one. In
some cases the individual has done nothing to provoke the
attack.

26. Personal Injury:
Animal Attacks
If ever attacked by an animal you should:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Seek medical attention immediately
Get the name and contact information of the animal’s
owner
Get the name and contact information of any eye
witnesses
Report the attack to the police
Request a copy of the police report
Take photographs of the animal and the location where
the incident occurred
Take photographs of the injuries
Do not accept any settlement or admit fault with the
owner’s insurance company
Save any clothing damaged by the animal

27. Personal Injury:
Workplace Accidents
Many employees in South Carolina are
covered
by
workers’
compensation
insurance. This coverage pays for medical
care and rehabilitation therapy after a
workplace accident. It can also provide
compensation for lost wages and any
disability resulting from the accident.

28. Personal Injury:
Workplace Accidents
However,
your
employer’s
compensation
insurance
company may try to minimize the extent of your workplace
injury. Without the help of a workers’ compensation
attorney, you may not get the medical care and benefits
you deserve.
Uricchio Law Firm is knowledgeable in this complex area of
the law and work tenaciously to get our clients the medical
care and benefits they deserve. If we determine that your
initial medical evaluation did not fully identify the extent of
your injury, we can arrange for you to receive a second
medical opinion.

29. Personal Injury:
Third-Party Claims
If your injuries were caused by a third party, such as a
contractor or equipment supplier, or you were injured in a
vehicle accident while on the job, you may have a thirdparty claim. This can enable you to obtain compensation in
excess of what you get from the workers’ compensation
system — including compensation for pain and suffering.
Uricchio Law Firm successfully handled a large number of
third-party claims, including many involving catastrophic
injuries. We will work to maximize the compensation you
receive from all sources.
If you have suffered a serious injury, Uricchio Law Firm will
advocate on your behalf to get you the compensation you
deserve. Contact us today or call for a free consultation.
