Brett's Story – Polar Opposite Experience with Matt Steinbrink, SiebenCarey
“My wife and I were just going to get a couple of pizzas and visit my daughter,” recalled Brett. “Another driver with medical limitations, as it turns out, hit four other vehicles, including mine. I have a complicated medical history going back to when I was 18 and knew within a couple of days that something wasn’t right. But we were reluctant to talk to an attorney after a really bad experience 35 years ago.”
Brett, a young dad at the time, was hit head-on by a drunk driver. He went with a big-name law firm, hoping they would at least help him get the insurance company to cover his medical bills. Brett picks up the story: “Basically, these two young attorneys from this large firm were completely outmaneuvered. I recovered nothing in a case where I was hit head-on and got stuck with $40,000 to $50,000 in medical bills. After that experience, I just didn’t trust lawyers or the system.”
“But when I started going to the doctors after this recent accident,” Brett continued, “I realized that I was again going to need significant medical treatment given my history. We had no choice other than to reach out for legal help, which is when I remembered the advice a neighbor gave me after that negative experience 35 years ago. He said, ‘Brett, you probably should have called Harry Sieben’s firm, SiebenCarey.’ I did, and that’s how I found Matt Steinbrink. It was the best decision I’ve ever made."
“The insurance company started playing games again, but this time, I had a lawyer who knew what he was doing. Matt understands all levels of a case like this. The insurance company lawyers didn’t outmaneuver him, and he helped me figure out all the medical complexities involved. Matt was always there – nights, weekends – and he always responded. We got a good result, too. The experience was the polar opposite of what happened 35 years ago.”
“To anyone thinking about hiring a personal injury lawyer, Matt and SiebenCarey would be the only people I’d recommend. And again, from all my experiences in my 62 years of life, it is the first and only great experience I’ve had with the legal system. And I can’t thank Matt and his staff enough for all they’ve done.”
