Does a consultation create representation?
No. Representation begins only after the firm accepts the matter and both sides complete a written engagement agreement.
What may a claim address?
Depending on the evidence and law, medical costs, income effects, pain, limitations, property loss, and other documented consequences may be relevant.
Should I keep damaged property?
Potentially relevant items should generally be preserved when safe. Ask before repairing, discarding, or transferring something that may be evidence.
Must I talk to every insurer?
Notice duties and requests differ. Consider advice before a recorded statement, broad authorization, or release.
Is there one deadline for every claim?
No. Defendants, age, discovery issues, public-entity procedures, and other facts may change the analysis.
Will the claim settle?
No outcome or path can be promised. Some matters resolve through negotiation, while others require litigation or trial.
