I was in a car accident in college in which a tractor trailer swerved into me while going down the highway. I ended up doing a U-turn at 60 mph, continued down the highway backwards, hit the concrete median with my back bumper which pushed me all the way across 3 lanes of traffic back to the other side of the highway where I finally stopped. The trucker tried to claim it was my fault. I wish I had read this book back then. I made so many mistakes. Two of them were: 1) Get the names and numbers of witnesses at the crash. Don't rely on on police officers to do this. 2) Don't do the recorded interview regarding the crash until you talk to an attorney. During my accident, I was dazed and scared. I relied on other people around me to take care of things and didn't realize that from the moment blame was placed on the trucker, the insurance company and the defendant were already preparing to fight me. This book offers valuable insight for preparing for a situation like this.Excellent, eye-opening read.-Kristin C

I bought this audible book and immediately listened to it from beginning to end. I was amazed at Karen's personal experience and the insight that she gained from it. Our life life can change in just a moment, based on circumstances that have absolutely nothing to do with us. When Karen was injured she had no idea what to do, just like most anybody else.What I liked most about the book was how she related her personal experience into easy to follow instructions for anyone who finds themselves in a similar situation. The checklists and take aways are handy to have and contain great snippets of information. I am sure that there are plenty of how-to books out there on what to do when dealing with a personal injury lawsuit or fighting against an insurance company, but this one is different. This is one born of tragedy and poured out of a woman's heart who really cares for her fellow man.

Plaintiff 101 is a great reference for civil litigation! The checklists and takeaways, even Karen's own compelling account of her personal injury lawsuit, makes it a very practical guide, which simplifies grasping the legal process in general. Definitely a great buy!

I rarely give 5 stars to any book, but this one is exceptional, After my graduation I starred working with a in-registered company and one evening while driving the car for my boss I got into an accident, my whole life stopped and I was searching for lawyers to help me with lawsuits and this books has helped me a lot in identifying my problems, a lot of people already talk to cops without any lawyer present or telling them what to speak, your words can make you or break you, I would recommend you read the book and get easy insights of court systems and lawsuits.
