Accident Investigation

Conducting a thorough investigation and gathering evidence is essential to the successful outcome of your case. Your attorney will gather evidence, such as:

• Police report/accident report
• Eyewitness statements
• Expert statements/testimony
• Photos of your injuries, accident scene, property damage
• Video footage, if available
• Vehicle repair estimates
• Medical records
• Medical bills
• Physical therapy records
• Journal documenting your treatment and pain levels
• Statements from family and friends regarding how your injuries have impacted your life
• Documentation from your employer
• Insurance policies

And more.

Representing You in Court

If settlement negotiations are unsuccessful, your attorney will be prepared to file a lawsuit against the insurance company or negligent party and represent you in court. During this time, your personal injury lawyer will file all documents with the court, schedule court dates and hearings, and handle other legal procedures. This will remain by your side, every step of the way, guiding you throughout the entire process. While they prepare your case for trial, they will continue to negotiate with the defendant to settle the case out of court, if possible. If the other party still refuses to make a reasonable settlement offer, your trial-tested attorney will be prepared to represent you in court.

What Compensation Can I Recover After a Personal Injury Accident?

Your attorney will investigate your case, reviewing your medical records, medical bills, how much time you missed at work, whether you’re able to return to work, and other evidence to accurately assess your losses to ensure they pursue the settlement or award you’re entitled to.
In some cases, a personal injury accident victim can recover compensation for the following types of economic and non-economic damages:

• Pain and suffering
• Past, present, and future lost wages
• Past and future medical bills
• Permanent disability
• Scarring and disfigurement
