We provide winning legal protection against personal injury through negotiation and settlement. Although each case requires a personal evaluation, we've compiled a list of frequently asked questions to assist you through the process.

What should I do first?
Seek and obtain medical attention immediately, if required. Ensure all medical and auto insurance claims are filed timely. File a police report if this wasn't obtained at the accident scene. Finally, contact a lawyer to discuss your injury and situation in detail. You have 4 months to file and send a written notice of your intent to make a claim.

What should I bring to my consultation?
When you come to your first consultation, please bring any potentially relevant documentation supporting your claim. This includes, but is not limited to, police reports, eyewitness accounts, injury details, medical report copies, insurance documentation, and photographs. The more information you have prior to taking action, the better. However, if you don't have many supporting documents, we can obtain these for you.

What does it mean to settle a case?
You've settled your case if you agree to accept financial compensation in return for dropping legal action. In this situation, you sign a release agreeing to absolve the opposing party from further liability.

What happens if I file a lawsuit?
Once you file a case, both parties begin gathering facts and information supporting their side. This process is called discovery. Many cases are settled before reaching trial. However, if necessary, you may be required to appear in court before the case is completely resolved.

What can I expect to win should the case end in my favour?
If you win your lawsuit, the judge may award monetary damages incurred as a result of your injury. This can include compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, potential future wage loss, as well as pain and suffering.

Who will be my lawyer?
Your case will likely be assigned to Robert J. Nightingale, Paul Hosack or Jamie Pereira, depending on your circumstances and particulars.
