the lawyer gathers evidence, including police reports, medical records, and witness statements, and consults medical experts to understand the extent of your injuries and their long-term impact.
3. Negotiation and Litigation
the lawyer negotiates with insurance companies and responsible parties for fair compensation. If a satisfactory settlement isn't reached, they file a formal lawsuit and prepare for trial, conducting discovery and depositions.
