If you are injured in an accident, there is a lot of work to be done to protect your interests. Having an experienced lawyer on the case will get you the following:

1.  Documenting your crash, with photos, video or witness statements.

2.  Documenting your property damage, and obtaining and organizing your estimates for auto repairs, and negotiating your property damage claim with the insurance company.

3.  Making sure that you are treating with physicians who are willing to testify if it becomes necessary.

4.  Reviewing your medical treatment to make sure that you are seeing the proper types of specialists to document your injuries properly.  Too many doctors are content to treat your symptoms, without performing the diagnostic tests which can show whether your pain comes from muscles and ligaments, or a bulged or herniated disc.  The difference is critical to your claim.

5.  Obtaining and organizing your medical records so that your entire course of treatment is documented.

6.  Obtaining and organizing your bills and insurance information so that we know exactly what has been paid for.

7.  Drafting and presenting a persuasive demand package to the insurance company.

8.  Negotiating your demand with the insurance company, to see if a satisfactory settlement can be achieved without having to file a lawsuit.

9.  Negotiating with your doctors, hospitals and other medical providers to get them to reduce their bills so that your recovery is maximized.

10.  Making sure that all of your medical liens are satisfied out of the settlement, so that there are no surprise bills after the settlement funds have been obtained--and spent.

The above tasks are all critically important for a satisfactory settlement, before the first legal paper is filed in court.  If fact, if the proper attention is paid to the above steps, it is often unnecessary to proceed with costly and time-consuming litigation.
