Investigating the Claim
During the investigation phase, our office will be gathering records such as accident reports; incident reports; medical records; wage and employment records; and insurance documents that we think are necessary to pursue your claim. An investigator may take photographs or track down witnesses. We may interview witnesses and or hire expert witnesses. Depending on the case, this process can take quite some time. When we are investigating a wrongful death case we use our experience to gather information in a way that minimizes the disruption to the family during their time of grief. When we are investigating an injury case, it is important for the injured person to make the best use of this time by following up with treating physicians, following all health care providers’ advice, keeping all medical appointments, and following the treatment regimen recommended by doctors.
