"Here are six steps we take to help you learn more about your highway construction site crash case. In this type of case, federal and state regulations impose special requirements. Failure to follow these requirements can lose the case. And, these cases are heavily bureaucratic. Assisting me are four full-time paralegals who average 14+ years of experience. We know the regulations, the experts, and how to cut through the bureaucracy (most of the time). I would be honored to represent you, and share what I have learned over 25+ years.” Mike Burman, Attorney at Law.
- 1 - Go to the scene ASAP: Small pieces of evidence can become big facts.
- 2 - Interview witnesses and law enforcement: Our retired police detective carefully interviews witnesses. I often conduct interviews with key witnesses myself. You have to be careful that the investigating officers did not show any favoritism to the construction site operator or government officials on site.
- 3 - Secure photographs, video, and the “black box”: Closed circuit Tv and video monitoring are usually erased in a week. I need to get on top of this evidence quickly before it is lost forever. “Black box” computers inside the vehicles need to be downloaded before a vehicle is crushed or repaired.
- 4 - Preserve evidence known only to the trucker and the trucking company: I cannot tell you how many times crucial information or documentation from a trucker or trucking company helps a case after I took the proper steps to preserve that evidence.
- 5 - Provide you a free Case Evaluation: The Case Evaluation addresses your concerns and helps you understand what your case is about. How much time will the case take? What compensation is recoverable? Questions like these are handled in the Case Evaluation.
- 6 - Provide you with a Plan of Action customized for your needs: When you hire me, I will take the Case Evaluation and write up a customized Plan of Action with easy-to-follow steps for a good start to your case. The Plan of Action is uploaded to your free Burman Law Client Portal (we’ll open the client portal on your smartphone). Or, if you don’t want to use the Client Portal, we can mail it to you. You need no money to hire me. My fees are in writing (I am cheaper than most competitors).
“My staff is knowledgeable and easy to work with. We keep you updated about your case. You will have no trouble reaching me when you need my help or have a question.” Mike Burman

Insurance Company Tactics
It is very common in a highway construction site case for the insurance adjuster to argue that your injury was caused by comparative negligence (fault by you in contributing to your injury). Highway construction site accident claims are often handled by auto accident adjusters with no training from the insurance company on highway construction safety statutes and regulations. The insurance company adjuster may not have conducted any investigation on how events unfolded or what caused the resulting construction site accident. Our law firm is trained in how to investigate highway construction site accidents, and how insurance companies value cases. We use software to determine if the amount offered in your personal injury case or personal injury lawsuit is fair and reasonable. We will always give you an evaluation that is in your best interests. Some of the most common insurance company tactics that we see are:
- Blaming accident victims for their own injuries
- Hiding evidence about the at-fault motorist, truck driver or insurance company
- Reducing the value of personal injury or wrongful death by misinterpreting medical records
- Denying the severe injuries are related to the crash or road design
- Making low settlement offers for pre-existing or age-related factors in personal injury cases
- Delaying claims as long as possible until you must accept a low settlement offer
- Making lowball settlement offers to reduce the amount you think is reasonable
- Telling personal injury victims they do not need to hire a lawyer
