PRACTICE  02  — AUTO

Car & auto collisions.

From the everyday rear-ender to the fatal multi-vehicle wreck — full-spectrum representation insurers take seriously.

The Problem

The insurer's first offer is a guess about whether you'll go to trial.

After a serious collision, the other driver’s insurer moves fast — a friendly adjuster, a recorded statement, a quick offer that sounds reasonable when you’re hurt and the bills are arriving. That early number is rarely what the case is worth. It’s a measure of how little the carrier thinks it can pay.
What moves that number isn’t a louder demand letter. It’s a file the insurer can see is headed for a courtroom — documented liability, fully developed damages, and a lawyer with verdicts to his name. Carriers keep records of who tries cases.
First Moves

How a case is set up to be valued fairly.

Hour One
Protect the record.
Scene evidence, vehicle data, and any surveillance are preserved early — and you’re advised before giving the insurer a recorded statement that can be used to discount the claim.
First 48 Hours
Document the injury.
Treatment is documented from the outset and the long-term care picture is built — because future damages are where serious cases are won or undervalued.
First Weeks
Value it for trial.
Liability and damages are developed to a jury standard, so the demand reflects real trial risk — and the insurer’s offer starts from a higher floor.
The Work

Why the offer comes in higher.

Valuation
Trial-ready case valuation
Every case is valued and built as though it will be tried. That signals trial-readiness to the insurer before suit is filed — raising the floor on the offer instead of negotiating up from a lowball.
Scope
Full-spectrum representation
Rear-end and intersection collisions, lane-change and merge wrecks, hit-and-run and uninsured-motorist claims, and fatal multi-vehicle crashes — the full range, handled with the same preparation.
Injuries
Catastrophic-injury focus
The practice concentrates on the serious end — traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, and wrongful death — where proving long-term damages takes the right experts retained early.
Access
