What Happens Next?

Because no two car accident cases are exactly alike, the process can also vary. What you can count on, no matter what, is that we will be here for you from start to finish, staying in close contact and keeping you informed about the status of your case.

That said, the process typically starts with a free consultation where we talk about the accident. If we think you have a case and you decide to hire our law firm to represent you in the matter, we'll begin investigating and preparing for trial while working with your own insurance company to obtain immediate coverage for at least a portion of your medical bills. We may also work with doctors and hospitals to ensure continued, appropriate medical care for you by having them place medical liens on any future settlement or verdict.

Once you've finished receiving treatment and all the medical bills are in, we'll compile a list of your damages, which will include compensation for such things as lifelong injuries and lost work time, and then send it to the at-fault driver's insurance company. After that, we get an offer and settlement negotiations start. We'll talk to you about any offer we receive and let you know whether we recommend accepting it or filing it in the Circuit Court. The ultimate decision will be yours to make.

While most car accident cases are eventually settled outside of court by the basic process we just described, we prepare every case as if it is going to trial and will not hesitate to seek a court date if a fair settlement cannot be negotiated.
