You were involved in an automobile accident. You were injured. Here is a guide on what to do in the first 72 hours to help maximize your chance at recovery in a claim against the opposing party and insurance.
The first 72 hours are considered crucial to your case. Spend them wisely.
Record
Its important to promptly make note of what took place as soon as you have a chance to make sure you don’t make a mistake in the future. If your injury is so severe that you are unable to do so, you may want to have someone else assist you with this.
Here are some important things that you want to record:
Date, time, and location of the accident
Traffic, weather, and road conditions
What direction you were traveling in and your approximate speed.
Always try to get a police report. Be sure to get the officers name, badge number, and precinct.
If there are any witnesses or other parties involved be sure to get all relevant information including
name, address, and contact information. Get the license plate numbers, registration information, and insurance information of all involved
parties.
A detailed written record of your recollection of how the accident occurred.
Medical Help
The primary concern in an accident is your health and recovery from any injuries. To preserve your claim, get medical attention as soon as possible. Be sure to get copies of all medical documentation, test results, doctors’ notes, X-rays, MRI, and CAT scans. These documents are very important to your claim.
DON’T TALK TO ANYONE
Oftentimes the opposing party, insurance, adjuster, family member, or someone else will ask you about your accident. Under any circumstances do not discuss your accident with anyone until you have sought legal representation. Do not give a recorded statement or otherwise talk about the accident. Regardless of what you are told, anything you say can and will be used against you down the line. Allow your personal injury attorney to handle all communication with the opposing party, insurance, and any other interested parties.Let us do what we do best!
Contact LA Law Group, APLC.

A client contacted us on 12/11/2018 after receiving notice from Amazon that their Amazon account was suspended for being related to a fraudulent or blocked account.
This seller relied on their small home based Amazon business to pay their bills, was distraught at the thought that they would be banned from Amazon, and despite calling Amazon and trying to figure out what to do, sought professional help.
We look and evaluate each case on an individual basis, reviewing its own merits, and draft a unique plan of action which addresses the complaints and we passionately advocate for our clients prompt reinstatement.
After reviewing the clients matter, LA Law Group took the case and we acted quickly to review the sellers account, sales history, metrics, complaints, and all related matters to their account and relative suspension. Our lead attorney, Aryan Amid, drafted a plan of action for our client on 12/12/2018. The account was reinstated on 12/12/2018 and our client is happily back in business.
We evaluate all types of Amazon matters and issues, from litigation and intellectual property matters, to issues directly with Amazon and account suspension. As the only law firm built by veteran e-commerce and Amazon sellers, we apply both practical and legal strategy to obtain an ideal outcome for our clients. In this case, our client was reinstated within 1 day and back in business.
Its a reality that Amazon Sellers – as a whole, often face violations, suspensions, or account closures where they are banned from selling on Amazon. As a prior Amazon seller – I have been through the trials and tributes of dealing with these issues first hand, and can attest that it is not a process that any seller would speak positively about.
It’s ironic that similarly its against Amazon policy for a seller to have multiple seller accounts and its a policy that is enforced leading to seller suspensions frequently.
Sellers should know that although Amazon does permit second account when certain criteria is met, once you create and link a second account to your first account – both accounts are connected meaning if one of them is shut down, both will be restricted.
If a seller is considering opening a second seller account, a first point of guidance is the Amazon help page as follows:
Bear in mind that in order to quality – there must be a “legitimate” business need and you have to meet certain guidelines:
Your seller account must be good standing with excellent Customer Metrics
Separate login, and financial information for new account
The products being sold on both accounts cannot be the same and there can be no overlap.
The accounts must be focused on different categories.
Once you apply, You’ll receive a response to your request generally within 2 to 3 business days.
It is important to keep in mind however that if one account is suspended – both will be suspended and both will be in jeopardy. This can lead to a holding of your funds and restriction on your ability to sell.
Can I create multiple accounts without Amazon approval?
Yes – however this is against Amazon policy and can lead to you having your account suspended and funds on hold . Tip: Treat the accounts as separate businesses, keeping in mind to keep all information distinct. Important factors Amazon looks at are:
IP addresses
Computers
Phones
Points of contact
Staff members (with limited access to accounts)
Entities (LLC, etc.)
Phone numbers
Email addresses
Physical locations
Warehouse addresses
PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THIS LIST IS NOT ALL THE FACTORS AS WE DO NOT KNOW ALL THE FACTS.
Amazon has an automatic system which scans and can find matches between these and other factors to identify related accounts.
It’s important to note that multiple accounts are not uncommon and there are many sellers who obtain multiple accounts without permission. If you are suspended for having a second account and Amazon refuses to release your money, there still are viable methods to get your funds released. The Amazon seller terms and conditions provide that you can take Amazon to binding arbitration and have an arbitrator decide the matter as necessary to release your funds. Additionally, if you win Amazon will have to pay your costs! If your dispute is less than $75,000, you can utilize the expedited arbitration program which will reduce your costs and help obtain a resolution.
At LA Law, we help Amazon sellers in all types of situations, whether from multiple accounts, or other issues leading to suspension, we are well versed and knowledgeable on everything Amazon.

This article will introduce you to one of the top freelance platforms in the online market today. Through the story behind FreeeUp’s success, find out how they tick and what makes them stand out from their competitors.
As a business owner, you will have needs that will go beyond your areas of expertise. Discover how you can take advantage of a flexible workforce and hire top freelance talent with the help of FreeeUp.com.
Getting to Know FreeeUp
FreeeUp is all about helping business owners value their time by hiring top-tier freelancers to their companies at a fast pace. These freelancers will help you expand your company more than you could by yourself or by hiring the traditional way. FreeeUp’s founders discovered this truth and built the marketplace that helps others scale the way they have.
The Founders
FreeeUp was launched by experienced eCommerce business owners who were not new to the idea of hiring freelance talent from digital marketplaces. Meet Connor and Nathan, two established entrepreneurs who co-founded the FreeeUp marketplace through their passion for both online business and online hiring. They had one mission with FreeeUp, and that was to solve the real and present problems that business owners face when hiring remote freelancers from all over the world.
Connor Gillivan, Co-Founder and Chief Marketing Officer
Connor is an eCommerce expert with years of experience as an Amazon Seller. He coaches eCommerce entrepreneurs on building their online businesses from the ground up using bootstrapping strategies and genius hacks. As an outsourcing guru, he helps connect business owners to top freelance talent through FreeeUp. His true passion lies in addressing specific client needs within the field of eCommerce.
Connor loves writing and is the Chief Marketing Officer of FreeeUp.com. Together with a group of talented freelance writers, he builds content centered around eCommerce, selling on Amazon, outsourcing, and managing a remote group of freelancers.
Nathan Hirsch, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer
Nate is a serial entrepreneur who started his first eCommerce business back in college buying and selling student textbooks on Amazon. Within 6 years, he became a multi-million revenue e-tailer on Amazon with over 10,000 customers. Being a business owner himself, he has experienced the frustrations of finding the right people to help him succeed quickly. Out of this derailment, he founded FreeeUp together with Connor to help eCommerce entrepreneurs hire top freelance talent to scale their businesses faster and more smoothly.
How FreeeUp Came to Be
Fueled by the passion of finding a better solution to hiring remote freelancer online, Connor and Nathan founded FreeeUp. In 2015, they started planning for how to build that ideal marketplace that they had always wished they had for themselves where they could hire top freelance talent that was reliable and skilled, at affordable prices. Their new business would feature:
Pre-vetting of all freelancer applicants based on skills, communication, and attitude, among other criteria, and accepting only the top 1% to ultimately join the network.
A fast and reliable matching process between clients and freelancers, saving time and effort for both parties.
Providing a hands-on approach for clients to manage the freelancers they hire from FreeeUp.
How did they end up becoming a top freelance marketplace?
Both of the founders were veterans on the Amazon landscape, so their first step was to build their brand within the Amazon Seller Community. In 2016, they started recruiting top freelancers who were skilled in various tasks for Amazon account management. They invited sellers on Amazon to hire these experts to help scale up their Amazon business. They gained popularity within the first half of the year.
After seeing rapid growth within the Amazon community, the founders expanded their services to all eCommerce business owners and startup entrepreneurs in the same year. Towards the second half of 2016, FreeeUp started adding to their network freelancers who were experts in Shopify, BigCommerce, WooCommerce, Walmart, eBay, Rakuten, and other eCommerce platforms.
As FreeeUp was helping eCommerce entrepreneurs run their online businesses, Connor and Nate felt the need to hire top freelance talent in other areas. They searched for creative designers who could build their websites and marketing experts who could promote their brand. Hence, digital marketers, web developers, and designers were added to FreeeUp’s pool of freelancers.
From 2016 to 2017, the FreeeUp network had grown five-fold. They had connected with more than 800 top freelance talents and had over 5,000 clients on the network.
FreeeUp aims to become a household name for businesses, a marketplace that offers a better solution to online hiring. Connor and Nathan began the year by expanding their network of freelancers to a wider variety of skill sets to cater to all kinds of client needs beyond eCommerce. Moving forward, businesses from different niches can hire the specific freelance experts they need for their businesses.
What Makes FreeeUp Different
Digital freelance platforms have been there for years. The basic functionalities are the same across all sites where you can post projects, get a lot of applicants, and interview them one-by-one. At the end of the day, you never know what you’re going to get. It’s just one of two things: a good hire or a bad hire. Making a bad hire will definitely hurt your company from the very beginning. A good hire will make you want to invest resources to foster a long-term relationship. If that freelancer suddenly quits, however, you are back to square one – the tedious process of going through hundreds of applicants and interviews.
The FreeeUp marketplace is known for its thorough application process, which the founders have developed over the years. Among hundreds of applicants, they vet the skilled and experienced with a strong sense of communication. For Nathan and Connor, communication is the key to building great client-freelancer relationships. If both parties are able to connect at all times, problems can be acknowledged and solved at the onset, and fewer issues will arise.
Only the top 1% of applicants get to join the network. These top freelancers are then made available to clients on a first-come, first-served basis. At FreeeUp, all you have to do is to put in a request describing what you need. Nathan and his assistants will introduce you to the most suitable freelancer in record time – usually within a few hours.
Easy, right?
But wait, there’s more!
More than saving time, FreeeUp helps you throughout your whole engagement with the network. Hiring remote freelancers is a new idea for some business owners. FreeeUp recognizes the challenges you may face in managing a flexible workforce. The FreeeUp founders and assistants are very involved when it comes to providing clients with the support they need.
