Website Terms and Disclaimers
The following terms and disclaimers apply to your use of this website and communications with Orthopedic Injury Law (the "Firm"). By using this website, you acknowledge these terms. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the website.
1. No Attorney-Client Relationship
Visiting this website, submitting an inquiry, or communicating with the Firm does not, by itself, establish an attorney-client relationship. Representation begins only upon mutual acceptance and execution of a written engagement agreement.
Submitting an inquiry does not suspend, extend, or otherwise affect any applicable statute of limitations or legal deadline. Unless representation has been formally established, the Firm has not agreed to protect your legal rights or pursue a claim on your behalf.
2. Informational Purposes Only
The information presented on this website is provided for general educational and informational purposes. It does not constitute legal advice, medical advice, or an assessment of any particular claim. Laws and medical standards vary by jurisdiction and circumstance, and website content should not be relied upon as a substitute for individualized professional advice.
3. No Medical Services or Physician-Patient Relationship
Although the Firm's attorney has extensive experience as a board-certified orthopaedic surgeon, the Firm provides legal and medical-legal services, not clinical medical care.
Reviewing medical records, discussing injuries, or communicating with the Firm does not constitute medical diagnosis, treatment, or the establishment of a physician-patient relationship. Individuals requiring medical attention should consult an appropriate healthcare professional.
4. Medical-Legal Evaluation
The Firm may review medical records, diagnostic imaging, and scientific literature to evaluate potential legal claims and assist in litigation. Such review does not constitute an independent medical examination or a clinical consultation.
When appropriate, the Firm may consult or retain qualified independent medical experts in accordance with applicable legal and professional requirements.
5. Electronic Communications and Confidentiality
The Firm takes reasonable measures to protect information submitted through its website. However, electronic communications, including online forms and email, cannot be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Please provide only the information reasonably necessary for an initial case review. Do not submit original documents, extensive medical records, or highly sensitive personal information unless specifically requested through an approved method.
Communications with prospective clients will be handled in accordance with applicable professional obligations. Please review our Privacy Policy for additional information about the collection, use, and protection of personal information.
6. Attorney Advertising and Results
This website may constitute attorney advertising under applicable rules of professional conduct.
The choice of a lawyer is an important decision and should not be based solely upon advertisements.
Descriptions of the Firm's experience, qualifications, or prior matters do not constitute a promise or guarantee of any particular result. Every legal matter depends on its individual facts, applicable law, and circumstances.
7. Jurisdiction and Scope of Representation
Orthopedic Injury Law is based in Columbia, Missouri. Its attorney is licensed to practice law in Missouri.
Matters arising in other jurisdictions may be evaluated or handled in collaboration with appropriately licensed attorneys, subject to applicable laws, professional-conduct rules, and court requirements.
Nothing on this website represents that the Firm or its attorney is authorized to practice law in jurisdictions where such authorization has not been obtained.
8. Third-Party Links
This website may contain links to external websites for informational purposes. The Firm does not control or endorse the content, accuracy, security, or privacy practices of those websites and assumes no responsibility for their content.
9. Changes to These Terms
The Firm may revise these terms and disclaimers periodically. Updated terms become effective when posted on this website, subject to applicable law.
