Golf Cart Accidents Can Result in Significant Damages

Why You Shouldn’t Give an Insurance Adjuster Your Health History
/by Peake & FowlerYou’ve been involved in an accident, and the other party’s insurance has already been in touch with you. They seem helpful and they even want to know the extent of your injuries—so they ask for access to your medical records. All you have to do is sign this form and send it right back. Stop—do […]
