The standards we use to make legal information clearer, more accountable, and easier to check.
Published September 23, 2026 · LawyerHelpNow
Scope and responsibility
LawyerHelpNow publishes general legal information about personal injury, insurance claims, and the legal process. The LawyerHelpNow Team is the editorial contact. Article bylines identify the credited author; they do not establish that the author is a licensed attorney. These standards guide new work and corrections. They are not a certification that every existing page has received an attorney review.
Sources and jurisdiction
Legal statements should be supported by relevant statutes, court rules, published decisions, or official agency materials. Articles should identify the state or jurisdiction involved, link to supporting sources, and distinguish general information from exceptions. Secondary sources can provide context but should not replace available primary sources for a legal rule.
Writing, editing, and legal review
Editorial checks address accuracy, clarity, attribution, and presentation. Legal review is a separate activity. A page should carry an attorney-review label only when that review occurred and the reviewer, relevant credentials, scope, and date are identified. A team credit, publication date, or visual badge is not proof of legal review.
AI assistance and human accountability
AI tools may assist with research organization, drafting, editing, or formatting. Their output is not a legal authority. Citations, quotations, calculations, and legal claims require checking against the underlying sources. AI assistance must not be used to invent personal experience, author qualifications, testimonials, case outcomes, or reviewer identities. The publisher remains responsible for published material.
Examples, calculators, and commercial content
Hypothetical scenarios and calculator outputs should be clearly identified as illustrations. They are not case valuations, deadline determinations, or promises. Material paid relationships and sponsored placements should be disclosed where they affect what readers see. Payment must not be presented as evidence of independent legal expertise or superior results.
Updates and corrections
A substantive update should reflect a meaningful change in the article. Formatting changes alone should not imply a new legal review. When a material error is corrected, the article should explain the relevant correction. A correction request should identify the page URL, the disputed passage, and an authoritative supporting source if available.
Request a correction
Email help@lawyerhelpnow.com with the subject “Editorial correction.” Include enough detail to locate the issue, but do not send confidential legal documents or medical records. If you are challenging an attribution, explain the concern and how we can contact you.
A correction request does not pause a legal deadline. For advice about a case, speak with a qualified attorney.
