[00:01:15.120] You need an attorney on your side [00:01:16.360] to make sure you get what you're entitled to. [00:01:18.200] Any kind of case there is, [00:01:19.320] we know the construction industry. [00:01:21.520] When you tell me that you got hurt driving piles [00:01:25.960] or you got hurt on sheeting, [00:01:27.200] I know what you're talking about, [00:01:28.200] where 90% of the attorneys out there don't.
