CONSULTATION -- Without any obligation, we will meet and discuss the accident or incident with you, the prospective client. This meeting will be FREE of charge.  We trust we will receive open and honest information during this consultation. In return, we will give an open, honest, and complete evaluation of your claim.

INVESTIGATION -- Our staff will gather information to evaluate and negotiate the claim through a variety of sources: records and computer searches, witness interviews, doctors' conferences and communication with the opposing parties(and/or their counsel) or their insurance carriers. You do not always have to wait for the completion of medical treatment required to initiate settlement discussions or enter into litigation.

MEDIATION -- It may be possible to settle the claim through one or more meetings (guided by a trained and approved "mediator") with the opposing party and their representative(s).

ARBITRATION -- Occasionally, the best option is for both parties to submit the disagreement to arbitration. A carefully chosen arbitrator will listen to both sides and then make a decision. This resolution can be binding and may prohibit any further action.

LITIGATION -- This is the course to take when all reasonable settlement attempts have failed. We file a complaint or an Answer in defense of our clients and begin to prepare for trial. The claim may still be settled at some point along the way, but if a trial is necessary to protect our clients' rights, we have the skill, experience, financial wherewithall, and perseverance to aggressively present the case in a courtroom.

Statute of Limitations

A law establishing the time limit within which a lawsuit must be brought is called a statute of limitation. Different types of cases have different statutes of limitation. Knowing which statute applies is critical, since if a lawsuit is not brought within the time limit that applies to the case, the right to sue and recover damages is forever lost. The statute of limitations for a personal injury lawsuit may be relatively short and subject to a number of factors.
