On Your Behalf
What to Expect From Your Personal Injury Attorney
You’ve been injured in an accident and the insurance company isn’t playing ball, so you hire an attorney to handle your case. Once you hire an attorney to represent you and your interests in a personal injury claim, there are several steps your attorney will take on your behalf in order to maximize your compensation. While every case is different, generally speaking, a good personal injury attorney will do the following: * Conduct initial background searches and investigatory measures to identify all parties and issues * Conduct in-depth interviews with the client and witnesses * Send out letters of representation to all involved parties * Send out spoliation letters to involved parties, so all evidence related to your injury is preserved and protected * Send out Freedom of Information Act Requests (FOIA) on your behalf * Gather all medical records and billing associated with your injuries * Work with an accident reconstructionist, if necessary, to reconstruct the collision using state-of-the-art imagery technology * Capture downloads from the vehicle that caused your injuries, so
we can determine what the adverse party was doing prior to and after the collision * Gather photographs, diagrams, and any other relevant physical evidence that will assist with your claim * Analyze insurance coverage to determine what compensation may be available * Contact experts to conduct studies that will help present your claim favorably * Craft a demand package which carefully analyzes and evaluates your injury claim * Negotiate with the insurance company and their representation * Draft a Plaintiff’s Original Petition and all related litigation documents in reference to the claim, if necessary * Perfect service of lawsuit and associated discovery * Conduct depositions of relevant parties to the claim * Prep client for giving deposition * Prepare and attend pre-trial mediations, if necessary * Formulate and perfect trial strategy * Prep client for trial * Negotiate all subrogation and liens filed by third parties in reference to client’s injuries
