Even when a driver is not at fault, monetary compensation from insurance companies can be denied. Furthermore, medical claims, especially those involving lengthy hospital visits, generate resistance and a high level of scrutiny from insurance companies.

How the work begins
The first conversation is with the attorney, not an intake service. We look at the documents you already have, identify what is missing, and give a direct assessment of the position — including when the honest answer is that a claim is not worth bringing.
If we take the matter on, you receive a written engagement agreement setting out scope and fees before any work starts. Where a case crosses borders, we coordinate with counsel in the relevant jurisdiction rather than improvising outside our own.
