Personal Injury Accidents Simplified with Attorney William J. Kahn

One unexpected perk to meeting virtually is the ease of hosting guests from other IEA chapters, opening our morning meetings up to a variety of interesting topics.  Borders have been erased, and our reach has been extended to San Fernando Valley, and beyond!  In this week’s morning meeting, we enjoyed a fascinating presentation from Bill Kahn, of Law Offices of William J. Kahn.

Personal Injury Attorneys help people injured as a result of the negligence of others, and Bill has over 30 years of experience in premises liability accidents, animal negligence (such as dog bites or contact injuries), as well as motor vehicle accidents of all scales.

Bill has several “Things To Remember” when it comes to what to do at the scene of a car accident, and it was invaluable to get his advice on this!

Do:

· Take pictures of everything (scene, damage to all cars involved, Driver’s Licenses, etc.)

· Get names of witnesses

· Call police, if necessary

· Get medical attention, if necessary

· Call Bill, your Personal Injury Attorney

 

Don’t:

· Allow intimidation from anyone at the scene

· Accept any kind of cash offer

· Sign ANYTHING

 

It’s crucial to call your Personal Injury Attorney (hopefully Bill) as soon as possible after an accident, because sometimes injuries can get much worse as time goes on, and because insurance companies like to prey on the unrepresented.  California has a 2-year statute of limitations for personal injury accidents.  So, you must have filed a lawsuit on or before the 2-year anniversary of the incident in order to continue pursuing your case. 

Bill works on a contingency basis, which means he will never take a case that he doesn’t feel total confidence in.  Also, you will never received a bill for any of Bill’s time, and if there is no recovery, there is no fee.  He is always available to answer questions from EAOC members and their networks. 

We want to thank Bill for sharing his wisdom with us, and for taking the time to join us at this week’s morning meeting!

What People are Saying

In 2008, a former member gave a lead of a local private school. After my initial visit, they signed on as a client and ordered small orders regularly, every year. As they grew, so did their order size. And although the member has not been a member for several years, this client has accounted for a total revenue of $60,000 at very nice profit margins. We have built a very good relationship with the school, and expect they will continue to order much in the years to come.  An example of how EAOC keeps on working...The Lead that KEEPS ON GIVING!

We receive thousands of dollars of business each year directly from our members, but more importantly, through our member's referrals. 

Also, we have saved a significant amount of money on services and products our members offer. I am using or have used our CC merchant, our promotional member, our commercial insurance broker, our handyman, our Labor Law Attorney, our pest control company, our Fleet Vehicle dealer, our event center and restaurant member, our florist, our HVAC contractor, our Paving Contractor, our Glass and Shower Door member, our realtor, and have referred them to our friends and customers.

When I was invited to be a part of the EAOC, I had no idea that a “by invitation only” networking group existed. Well, we’ve been around since the early 70’s. And, what a great group of business associates we have. 

Not only are these members excellent business owners that I can refer my clients to, they are an invaluable source of knowledge for me and my clients. 

Often, merely providing information is just what was needed. These professionals are like my business partners, they are champions of my business as well as their own. 

Joining this group of dedicated business professionals has been the key to my success and I’m happy to be a part of this fantastic group. 

Gizi Clemmer, FirstTeam Real Estate

I joined EAOC because of a friend.  In my first year I have gained over 10k in continual annual business.

Quinton Fasola, ASURE Software

In the past 42 years I have received many good leads that have become good clients.  Many of them are still clients of the firm I am with today (This represented 50% of the clients that I merged into the new firm).  I have used many past and current members for a reliable source of good and reputable suppliers for both business and personal needs, including several members that helped me make profitable investments over the years.

Hal Grimshaw, Belden Hiramoto Liu & Co., LLP

I joined EAOC because Phil Kintz asked me. At the time the cost and early meeting time was a concern. The first six months of membership I received an extra $6000 in volume.

Gary Gregg, Creating With Glass

I have been a member for many years in several different classifications. EAOC has always provided me with a steady flow of leads. However the biggest benefit I’ve received has been “outside” of the core purpose of leads. A past member John Valentine, mentioned to me that he had heard about some industrial land for sale in Costa Mesa. I ended up buying it, building a warehouse and running my business at the time (South Coast Stationers) there for about thirty years. It was an excellent investment.

Pete Sloan,

A lead from Past member Bob Hardman eight years ago resulted in $15,000 of business. A lead from Mel Smith eight years ago resulted in $25,000 of business. Benefits of membership include direct business from other members resulting in $10,000 in business and direct business with other members that resulted in excellent service and financial savings.

Carlos Salazar, Salazar Associates

I have built my entire business on leads from the EAOC. I started my association management firm in 1981 with one client EAOC. In the last thirty four years the business has grown to fourteen associations. We employ eleven full time and one part time employee. I can trace ten of my long term clients to referrals from EAOC that brings in over $500,000 annually. The network of present and passed members has had a tremendous impact on my life.

Gayle Stewart, Gayle Stewart Enterprises

EAOC has been a reliable source of steady business for me for about thirty years. Thank You EAOC!
