Accident Investigation:
It is imperative and crucial to maintain contact with any of the eye-witnesses when the facts are disputed. Shortly after a wreck, a statement of any eye witnesses should be obtained in the event that it is needed later for trial.
Any pain and suffering that is documented in a diary or on video should be preserved for later use at trial.
What to expect from the time you retain me through settlement negotiations
Right away you will see medical bills piling up and incessant calls from collection agencies will come shortly after. When a client comes into my office and I am retained, this is what happens:
1. Claim is set up
2. Medical providers and collection agencies are notified that your claim is in progress and that they should back off.
3. I obtain your medical records and bills.
4. I draft a demand letter to the insurance company asking them to settle and or pay your bills.
5. I ask them to settle for the sum your claim is worse. If they don’t, I advise them that my clients always have the avenue of pursuing a bad faith claim.
5. If unable to settle out of court or at mediation within a short time of seding my demand, then a lawsuit is filed in court.
If you don’t win, I don’t win.
I am an aggressive attorney. Having dealt with insurance companies before, I know the game they like to play and whatever their game may be I like to win it for you and fast.
