How We Handle Personal Injury Legal Cases
Case Investigation
A personal injury case requires a full investigation regardless of the type of injury-causing event. This includes motor vehicle collisions, 18-wheeler or tractor-trailer crashes, construction incidents, premises liability cases, product liability matters, non-subscriber cases (situations when an employer fails to buy workers’ compensation), third-party liability claims, and general liability cases. The investigation must take place as soon as possible after an injury-causing event. Otherwise, evidence is destroyed, witnesses are lost, a scene of a loss is changed, or other changes can occur that hurt a victim's case. In some situations, most frequently 18-wheeler or tractor-trailer crashes, the responsible trucking company has an emergency response team on standby to go to a collision scene to complete its own investigation, giving the company an advantage in litigation. This is why it is extremely important for a victim to retain an experienced attorney as soon as possible.
Using my engineering experience, I am capable of completing these types of investigations very quickly, thus preserving evidence, securing statements as needed, and preserving the layout of a scene. I am able to perform accident reconstruction as well as workplace injury investigations.
Negotiations
This part of a case is self-explanatory. What is important is that insurance companies and large self-insured companies hire experienced claims handlers, utilize complex software, and have access to unlimited resources to take advantage of a self-represented person or an inexperienced attorney.
