Rhein also has experience working “on the other side” representing workers compensation insurance companies and successfully defending against fraudulent claims. If you are an injured worker who needs help filing a claim or getting payments, or a company or insurance company evaluating a claim, Att. Rhein has the experience and knowledge necessary to get the job done!

Personal Injury
Attorney Rhein specializes in motor vehicle accidents, slip and fall, product liability, and dog bite cases. If you have been injured, it is important to seek medical help and to document your injuries as soon as possible. It is also advised to keep a journal of all symptoms and how your life and family’s life have been affected. Take photographs of the injury and accident site, and get names of potential witnesses who can possibly testify at court if necessary. Keep lists and receipts of medicine and supplies you are using, along with a list of all physicians and therapists you are treating with. It can also be very tricky dealing with insurance companies, including your own, and hiring an attorney with experience in this area is critical.
