Initial Consultation with a Personal Injury Attorney
Your free initial consultation with Hutzler Law will be one of the most critical meetings concerning your personal injury case. During this meeting, your attorney that will personally manage your case will begin gathering information about your accident. This will be an in-depth interview and will most likely be the longest meeting you will have as part of your case.
Personal injury attorney Jason Hutzler has worked on both sides of the legal process and understands the entire process. On average, 95 percent of our cases settle long before they need to go to trial. However, we prepare each case right from the start as if they were going to trial because we find this advantageous to our clients.
Each part of your case will be handled in stages. Having an understanding of each step will help you monitor the progress of your case. Each stage can take a different length of time to complete, and each stage must follow a specific order so that your claim has the best possible outcome.
Gathering Information After an Injury or Car Accident
Hutzler Law can help research the required information needed to build a solid claim.
Once your Phoenix car accident lawyer has completed your initial consultation, your case will move into the information gathering stage. During this stage, your attorney and the professional support staff at Hutzler Law will begin gathering information from different sources regarding your case. This information will include:
- Notifying the insurance company that you have retained an attorney to manage your case.
- Notifying medical providers that are managing your injuries that you have retained an attorney and request your medical records.
- Notifying any medical care providers that have outstanding bills that you have retained an attorney and request medical records.
- Requesting payroll information from your employer.
- Requesting the police report for your accident.
When we notify the hospitals and treating physicians that we are representing your personal injury case, we will ask them to refrain from discussing your injuries, treatments, and other relevant medical information with the insurance company. We will also inform them that you will sign a lien guaranteeing their payment for any treatments that you received as part of your accident that has an outstanding balance. The fees for these treatments will come from any settlement that you receive; you will not have to pay these bills at this time.
If you have been injured in an accident involving another vehicle, you may be entitled to compensation.
