We must ascertain who is legally responsible for your injury, whether or not they were insured, and the amount of coverage available.
We will need the assistance of your doctors in sending us complete medical information so that we can evaluate your claim. For this reason, it is important for you to obtai appropriate medical care for your injuries.
We will discuss the kind of damages you might expect to collect in court. A settlement can not occur before we know the full nature and extent of your injuries and their affect on your overall lifestyle. If your case can not be settled, then a lawsuit is filed.
A lawsuit is a legal document filed with the court. This is filed when your case can not be settled.
A lawsuit is required when a case can not be settled with the insurance company. When a lawsuit is filed, it normally takes 12-18 months to get the matter set for trial. During that time discovery takes place.
This is an exchange of information between parties so there will not be any surprises at trial. You will have to answer questions in writing and give a deposition under oath.
You receive your financial compensation. We receive a fee only if your claim is settled or a verdict is obtained and collected.* When your settlement check arrives, we will contact you to come in for a final disbursement.
