What is your typical process for working with a new client?
We meet with potential clients wherever is most comfortable and convenient for them — at our office, the medical facility currently treating the patient, or even the client’s home or business. We stress the fact that the amount of time it takes a case to resolve depends on the severity of the injury, the amount (and clarity) of the evidence available for all elements of the claim, and the length of the patient’s course of medical treatment. We explain that any claim allows for only “one bite at the apple” and thus cannot be rushed or compromised quickly before the value of the claim is known or projected. We explain that the insurance company’s role is to save itself and its investors money by paying as little as possible to close the claim. Our role is to help the insurer recognize its exposure as soon as possible and, if they never do, to make the case to a jury.
