injured? Here's what you need to know.
When you hire us, our job is to speak for you, the victim of an accident that was not your fault. Our goal, in your case, is to protect your rights and to make sure there is a just resolution in the matter. We understand that this may be a difficult time for you. But we are here to help you maneuver through the system of Insurance Companies, adjusters, defense lawyers, medical bills, and the courts.
In order to be successful, we have to work as a team. We have a job to do, and you have a job to do. We promise to do our part and we ask that you do yours as well by keeping your doctors appointments, being reasonable in your monetary expectations, and following our advice – then, working as a team, we will have a better chance to be successful with your case. Let's now talk about what you can expect, and also some of your responsibilities.
We will assign your case to an attorney and a legal assistant. We will be asking you to supply us with information. Please cooperate with any request we make as we need to gather information that will help your case. This will allow us to prepare your case and keep it moving through the system. You will be receiving letters from our office. Please be sure that you read all of them, because they may be very important to your case.Your Legal Assistant or Attorney may change as your case progresses. That is because, in our office, we will assign it to those who concentrate on what the needs of your case are at that time.
Now, let’s talk briefly about what you can do to help your case and some things you do not want to do, things that may hurt your case.
1) Do not speak with anyone from the other side’s Insurance Company. Should anyone contact you, give them our name. We will be happy to speak with them.
2) Keep your doctor appointments and follow the recommendations that he or she makes. Tell your doctor about all of your physical complaints.
For example: if your neck, back, and leg hurt, don’t just mention your neck and back. Include everything when talking to your doctor.
3) If you are unable to work for a period of time because of your injuries, be sure and have your employer fill out one of our Lost Wage Forms and return it to our office promptly. Also, be sure your doctor gives you an “off work” slip. Please send us a copy.
We encourage you not to miss work unless it is absolutely necessary. In the State of Texas, you will seldom recover the amount of money which will justify your missing work.
