Bikes offer good exercise, dependable transportation, and ecological advantages. They also offer very little protection in a bicycle collision with a car. While the proportion of Americans who use bikes for transportation is small (only 1%), cyclists have a substantially higher risk of injury and death than car passengers, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
A motorcycle can be the perfect vehicle for travel and adventure. But the design that makes motorcycles so versatile and exhilarating can be a detriment rather than an advantage in an accident. Motorcycle crashes can be complex and devastating. The National Highway Transportation Safety Administration reports that, despite motorcycles accounting for only 2% of all vehicles, 5% of fatal accidents involve a motorcycle.
Car accidents are, unfortunately, common. While modern automotive technology has reduced the rate of serious injuries and casualties caused by wrecks, every year thousands of drivers experience life-altering collisions while on the road. Cars may be safer, but people are becoming more distracted, and therefore more car crashes occur.

This firm deserves its strong reputation! John Raihala helped me gain compensation for my injuries following a bike accident. John is smart, kind, and ethical, and although I wish every day that the accident hadn't happened, I feel fortunate that Clifford & Raihala represented me and got such a good result. I highly recommend them.

I feel like they were in a rush to settle and they seemed to even side with the driver at fault which wasn't me. The fight didn't seem like something they wanted to do. They bargained with the defense and I was almost forced to take a low ball offer because they made it seem like it would have taken forever to get it resolved because of covid and court time.
John Raihala was very welcoming at first when I gave my story to them to see if they'd take it. Once I signed to have them represent me he acted like I wasn't even in the same room when he walked by. I was going to

Carrie and John were so great to work with after I was injured in a car accident and I suffered a mild traumatic brain injury with post-concussion syndrome. They are amazingly helpful, kind, and compassionate, and highly detail focused. They went out of their way to not only understand my injuries but to find an expert in the field. I highly recommend them as an experienced and excellent legal team to have on your side.

I hired John Raihala after I was severely injured in a boating accident. John was caring and compassionate, yet professional in his work. He dug through every avenue possible to get me the settlement i deserved for my injury. I am very pleased I made the choice to hire John Raihala and would recommend him to anyone. John shows great passion for his work and justice for his clients.

My grandparents worked with Raihala and are more than pleased. He was diligent and easy to communicate with. They felt they could trust him to take care of them throughout the process and he did just that! They are very grateful for their experience and said if they could rate him 1-10 he deserves an 11!

Absolute WORST choice I could have made! I wouldn't give them a ONE if possible! I'll tell you why i hate them... Carrie Devitt made a "newbie" mistake because she just started, and rather than making HER pay for it; KEITH CLIFFORD took the money out of the money I was awarded! KEITH CLIFFORD WAS AT FAULT FOR NOT WATCHING OVER THE NEWBIE FOR MISTAKES!!!!! I can't blame her...
So, they basically screwed up something, and then screwed me EVEN more by making me pay for their screw up! Maybe, you had a great experience, and I'm happy for ya if you did. BUT I HAD A HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE AND WOULDN’T

Clifford & Raihala did an excellent job on my behalf after I was injured in a bad car accident. I found the firm to be professional, thorough, and hard-working. Additionally, I felt I was treated with concern, understanding, and sensitivity regarding my injuries and trauma. I hired John Raihala very soon after the accident and felt, throughout the process, that I could trust him to protect my interests. He helped me get full compensation without a trial. John was ethical, knowledgeable, conscientious, and stayed in close communication with my husband and

After a tragic and unexpected event in a medical procedure caused a wrongful death, my lawyer friends helped me find an attorney to take my case. I hired John Raihala, from Clifford & Raihala, S.C. A matter-of-fact law firm that will tell it to you straight and work skillfully to obtain justice. As John was vetted by my lawyer friends, he and his firm are respected in the legal community. I was impressed with the strategies and excellent legal work that was done in consultation with the firm's other attorneys. I was very satisfied with the settlement that John obtained for me. John was always compassionate
