Our South Lake Tahoe Injury Law Firm Doesn’t Just Win,
We Win Big!

When accident victims are most vulnerable after a traumatic event, they may make mistakes that weaken their right to pursue compensation in the future. For example, they might accidentally admit fault for the accident when providing insurance companies with an account of what occurred. 

Our team can handle all correspondence with insurance companies to prevent these mistakes and help protect your rights. Keeping track of the case facts while they are current also falls under this category.

To identify and treat your injuries, we can put you in touch with medical specialists in your region. We may also be able to set up an insurance lien to pay for your medical care if you need it but can't afford it while pursuing compensation. If your case is resolved, the settlement money will cover your bills, so you don’t need to pay them upfront. We can assign your injury claim an appropriate settlement value and start negotiations with the insurance company once all injuries have been identified and treated.

To support your claim, we’ll collect all documents relevant to your case and assemble them into a "demand package." This package will tell the story of your case and provide an in-depth look at the damages and losses you have suffered. The at-fault insurance company will review these documents and respond with an acceptance, a counteroffer, or a rejection. Our office will communicate with you throughout the negotiation, and you will have the ultimate say.

Most of our cases are settled without needing to file a lawsuit. If this occurs, you may be asked to sign a settlement release that closes your case in exchange for the agreed-upon amount of financial compensation. We can also assist in addressing billing issues and facilitating the smooth transfer of any potential settlement.

In some cases, negotiations aren’t always productive. If we can’t agree on a settlement with an insurance company, we’ll assess the feasibility of taking your claim to court. If necessary, we’ll start the litigation process by filing a lawsuit on your behalf. 

We are committed to providing representation and support at each stage of the claims process. This means we aim to prepare each case as though it will have to stand before a jury, even if jury trials are rare. We may do this by gathering additional evidence and retaining experts who can testify to support our clients' case. We might also utilize deposition, a process in which our clients can tell their stories under oath, as an opportunity to collect essential information that can be used in mediation or trial. 

Before a jury trial, your case will likely be presented to a mediator. The mediator is a neutral individual accountable for listening to both sides of the argument and proposing potential settlements. If the mediator can help the insurance company understand the actual extent and value of your losses, the case may be settled at this stage. Arbitration is similar to mediation and may be necessary for claims made against your own insurance company.

Our South Lake Tahoe injury law firm leverages its courtroom experience and knowledge to provide the guidance our clients may need at this stage. We will present your case before a jury of your peers, who will consider all the evidence and decide how much restitution you should receive.
