We can also handle all communications with the insurance companies on your behalf.
When the insurance company lawyers will not negotiate fairly, we can take the case to trial. We will take care of filing the legal documents required to take a case to trial. Additionally, we will investigate the accident, prepare the case and hold the negligent party accountable.
