Carolina Law Book-Michael A. DeMayo

Transcript:

Cindy Speaker: My guess today is North Carolina Personal Injury Atty. Michael A. DeMayo of the Law Offices of Michael A. DeMayo and he has just written a very informative book on Carolina Injury Law. So Michael, thanks for being here today.

Michael DeMayo: Thank you for inviting me.

Cindy Speaker: Well, Michael, I have read your book and this is really an indepth look at Carolina Injury Law.  Tell us what prompted you to do this because it’s really a very big undertaking.

Michael DeMayo: Well, it was a significant undertaking Cindy.  Myself and a number of attorneys, experienced personal injury attorneys across the country, collaborated on this book.  And the idea was to give kind of a simple step-by-step answer, question and answer, example of what you can expect if you’re involve in an automobile accident or personal injury.  And in our specific instance in North or South Carolina, we find that many times, people either have the wrong information or they have a lot of insecurities or unanswered questions that cause them sometimes to make the wrong decision and/or no decision, which on occasion can be the wrong decision.

So we decided and I decided that I thought it might be a useful resource if we could put together this book with basic concepts and basic information so that someone even without any kind of legal training or experience could get kind of a rudimentary understanding of kind of a baseline of what to expect if they’re involve and injured in an accident.

Cindy Speaker: Okay.  Can you give you us a couple of examples as to what is included in this book?

Michael DeMayo: Well, specifically, there are some tips on what to do with the insurance company or more importantly, what not to do with the insurance company.  There is some examples as to how to get treatment, what to say and do with regard to the facts of the accident.  It certainly tells you from a specific standpoint that your injury is obviously the most important component of the case and getting the proper treatment and care is very critical not only to your well being but ultimately to a successful resolution of the case.  Often times, there are situations where someone is really not hurt, they get checked out at the hospital and that’s really all they’re going to need.  They really don’t need an attorney but they could use this book as a reference.  Even though we give this or we will be offering this book in a variety of different ways, if the person is severely injured, not withstanding what I think is a fairly comprehensive read on what they should do, I still give them the opinion that they do need an experienced personal injury attorney to help them obtain the best results possible.

Cindy Speaker: Okay.  Now Michael, how can someone get a copy of your book?
