About Our Practice

Dealing with a serious personal injury or the death of a loved one is difficult enough without the added burden of dealing with insurance companies, claims or pursuing legal action. For over 27 years, the Personal Injury attorneys at Bolhouse Law Offices have been dedicated to assisting clients who are faced with such a personal tragedy. From acting as their personal advocate with insurance companies to aggressively working to ensure they receive the maximum compensation to which they are entitled, our clients' best interests remain our primary focus.

We do not take every case that comes our way. Rather, we examine the merits of each case, determine if it is a case that is appropriate for our firm to handle, and take the only the ones we believe we can win.

Types of Cases We Handle

Our Personal Injury attorneys handle serious personal injury and wrongful death claims arising from:

Automobile Accidents
Motorcycle Accidents
Boating Accidents
Brain Injury
Dog Bites
Construction Site Injuries
Premises Injuries
Wrongful Death
Nursing Home Abuse

What We Recover for Our Clients

We aggressively fight to help our personal injury clients and their families recover the maximum amount they may be entitled to, including compensation for pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, permanent disability, present and future medical expenses, property damage, loss of earnings, and permanent disfigurement and in the case of a spouse, damages for loss of income and companionship.

How We Are Paid

We understand that an injured client may not have the financial resources available to hire an experienced, qualified personal injury attorney on an hourly basis, so we are willing to work on a contingency fee basis: we are paid based on a percentage of the amount we recover for our clients. We are candid with our clients and after examining the merits of each individual case, advise whether negotiation, arbitration, mediation or litigation is in our clients' best interest.
