★★★★★ A 5-star Review from one of our clients

“Sean helped me tremendously and went above and beyond. I wouldn’t use any other attorney.”

I appreciate this review and am glad that I was able to help. It is gratifying to know that my efforts have satisfied my clients.

This is a good time to discuss what I do as a personal injury lawyer on a claim. Once we meet with a client, we set up the file. This includes notifying the insurance company about our representation and finding out the insurance limits. At the same time, I investigate the accident and make sure that liability is secure. I then work on making sure the client’s medical treatment is progressing properly. I make sure that the client is treating with the right type of doctors. I make sure that the client is not missing appointments and has had an MRI. At the conclusion of the treatment, or at a point when I know the insurance policy will be maxed out, I prepare a demand. In the demand, I list all the the reasons for liability. I list all of the injuries, the treatment, the finding on the MRI, the medical bills, the out of pocket expenses, lost wages and pain and suffering. I then submit this demand to the insurance company and give them 30 days to respond. I then attempt to negotiate a settlement. If they tender the full amount of the insurance, that concludes the case. If there is another layer of insurance coverage such as UM, I then submit the demand to that carrier. If they tender, then that claim ends. If they offer less than the full amount, I attempt to negotiate a resolution.
