The more information you give us, the better we can maintain your file. The following is a check list of information that we will need: [Top] What is the most important thing I can do? The most important thing you can do is to GET WELL! Do exactly what your doctor tells you to do. That includes going to physical therapy as often as prescribed. [Top] What should I do about the car? We will discuss your options. We may be able to procure a rental car for your use while your car is being repaired. [Top] The more records we have, the more prepared we are to settle your case. Keep a daily record of what is happening to you beginning the day that accident occurred. This should include your medical problems, lost time from work, and how you are feeling. [Top] Who should I talk to about the case? Absolutely no one without our permission. Insurance companies and their lawyers may try to contact you. Do not give them any information. This could be harmful to your case. [Top] Generally, your case will not be settled until you have fully recovered. Of course, this varies with each case. Obviously, if you are injured badly, your case will take longer to settle. The more rapidly you get well, the sooner we can settle your case. Therefore, it is imperative for you to do everything your doctor says to do. [Top] No one can give an estimate or predict what your case is worth. The amount that you will receive will depend on a number of factors, including the severity of your injuries. [Top] Our fee is on a contingency basis - that means that we will receive a percentage of the settlement of your case and you owe our Law Office nothing unless we get you a settlement [Top] We want you to call us if you have a question.
