  • Gathering evidence – Assessing damages and building a strong case.
  • Filing a lawsuit – Initiating legal action on your behalf.
  • Handling negotiations – Communicating with the insurance company and/or the at-fault party.

The Legal Process

We will file a claim and notify the at-fault party. From there:

  • A lawsuit is filed, and negotiations begin.
  • Your lawyer works to secure a fair settlement.
  • If an agreement is reached, you receive your settlement minus attorney fees.
  • If the insurance company refuses a fair offer, we take your case to trial.
