Besides having a full time investigator at the Hurley Law Firm, the Hurley Law Firm does the following to assist you in your motor vehicle accident:
1. Initial Interview: Immediately talk with you so that you know what to expect during the course of our representation of you.
2. Gather Information: Gather all initial information including police accident reports, medical records, witness statements, diagrams of the accident scene and all initial investigative matters which are coordinated by our investigator, Kevin Studer, so as to properly prepare your case.
3. Examine Insurance Coverage: We will always ask you to provide us with a copy of your insurance policy so we can examine this to be sure that you utilize any and all of your insurance coverage to the extent possible. We will recommend any changes to your current insurance policy which should help protect you in the future.
4. Review all legal aspects: Research and examine all the legal aspects of your case that would involve contributory negligence, punitive damages, and all other legal theories that may affect the outcome of your case.
5. Gather all medical information: During the course of your treatment, we will gather any and all of your medical records, medical bills and, if necessary, discuss with your doctor any permanent problems you may have as a result of your injuries.
6. Negotiate your case: After gathering all of your medical records, medical bills and doing a thorough initial investigation of your case, we assemble and send your information to the defendant’s insurance company so that we can begin negotiating your claim. After negotiating with the defendant’s insurance company, we will contact you and discuss their offer. I will give you my advice and legal opinions in regards to whether your case should settle or whether litigation should be pursued.
7. Litigation: If we decide that the settlement offer is unfair and that litigation is appropriate, the Hurley Law Firm will file a lawsuit. After getting a trial date, we will do everything to prepare your case– getting witnesses ready for the trial, preparing the exhibits, and organizing all aspects for your trial. I will try your case in front of a judge or a jury so that you can get an award that would reflect the injuries and the pain you suffered from this motor vehicle accident.
