Your free personal injury consultation in allentown is coming up. what should you do to prepare?

THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS TO RELAX.

Law firms, attorneys, and legal proceedings may seem scary, but your consultation with an attorney is just a conversation, but with a bit more paperwork involved. Imagine it much like any other conversation you’d have with a friend who had no idea that you experienced an accident: you’d want to tell him how it happened, where it happened, and when it happened. Your relationship with your attorney should be one which gives you a sense of trust and comfort. After all, your attorney is the one who is fighting for you through these difficult and often complex proceedings.

BRING EVERYTHING WHEN IT COMES TO INSURANCE AND MEDICAL PAPERWORK YOU MAY HAVE RELEVANT TO THE CAR ACCIDENT.

The most important thing to bring is any police report you may have from the accident, as well as your up-to-date automobile insurance policy for the vehicle you were driving. If you weren’t in your own vehicle, bring your personal automobile insurance policy anyway, as it may still be helpful, as your attorney can explain. Your attorney can help you understand what coverages are available for your accident, and just as importantly, inform you as to which coverages you may be lacking for the future.

DON’T THROW ANYTHING AWAY.

After an accident, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the amount of paperwork you receive. We recommend keeping it all in one folder or in one place to ensure that it stays safe.

TAKE PICTURES OF YOUR VISIBLE INJURIES.

Injuries heal. Visible injuries will become less prominent over time. By taking photographs of your injuries right after they occurred or at their worst, it will be much more difficult for the other side to downplay your injuries.

KEEP A JOURNAL, EVEN IF IT’S SHORT.

It’s hard to remember exactly what issues your injuries cause you on a day in, day out basis. By keeping a journal of your difficulties, you will have created a much more complete record of exactly how the accident affected your life. Likewise, keep track of which medical providers you went to after your accident. It will make it much easier for the attorney to understand the timeline of your health.

DON’T SPEAK WITH ANY DEFENDANT OR THEIR INSURANCE COMPANY!

They may bait you into making statements that are detrimental to your case or may trick you into releasing your claim completely. It may feel awkward, but you have every right to ignore their calls or to simply inform them that you’re hiring an attorney. Don’t let anyone bully you out of your right to fair and just compensation.

N.M. – Eaton, PA

This was my first time working with lawyers for a case and they were awesome. They always kept me in the loop and they explained everything very clearly. Very trustworthy and would recommend to anyone.

R.S. – Easton, PA

I cannot begin to express my gratitude for the care provided to me by Mr. Mark Altemose and Mimi Zancofsky. When I was seriously injured in an auto accident, everyday was a struggle. But, I had to worry about nothing other than my treatment and recovery while they managed every detail about my claim. Mark is very confident, professional, smart and responsive–thinking 100 steps ahead. Thank you so much, Mark Altemose, for being an exceptional lawyer. Mimi Zancofsky was awesome, she went above and beyond to make sure I was taken care of, she kept me updated and walked me through all all the steps for my case. You’ve been an incredible help with my case. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS LAW OFFICE.

V.C. – Easton

I never do reviews but my experience with attorney Alexis Berg-Townsend, and her law firm Cohen, Feeley, Altemose and Rambo was beyond exceptional that I had to give one. They were concerned, kind, friendly, patient that as soon as I entered the office I was placed at ease. I was nervous about how my legal situation was going to be handled but I was treated like family. I was also placed at ease when I realized how brilliant and experienced they were. Alexis handled my legal situation with her personal attention, and listened to all of my concerns. Alexis and her firm have a very high success rate and were efficient with my legal matter. For all of theses qualities I highly recommend to everyone their services. I give them five stars across the board.

HOW LONG WILL MY CASE TAKE FROM START TO FINISH?

As before, this is one of the most common questions I get during my initial consultations with clients. While every case is different, and while there are unforeseen circumstances that can throw off any estimate, there is a rough ‘roadmap’ that I give to clients. While it doesn’t give actual timeframes, this roadmap is how I personally predict out the various ‘phases’ of a personal injury claim or case.

Let’s assume your accident happens today. For the sake of making things simple, we’ll say that you pulled out your wallet, saw that you had one of Cohen, Feeley, Altemose & Rambo’s fancy new attorney cards (with the updated logo, even!), and you give us a call. After a consultation, we take your day on the same day. What now?

While we, as your personal injury attorneys, handle some setup matters between the insurance companies, your primary focus will be on your medical treatment. This usually is the longest stretch of time in a case, as it’s very unwise to try to settle any case while the client is still treating. (You don’t know the full extent of the injuries, and therefore, any binding settlement you enter into will fail to consider injuries beyond the date of settlement.)

After you have reached maximum medical improvement, then your attorneys will order up any and all medical records that we still need. Technically, medical requests are supposed to be fulfilled by the provider within thirty days, but we know that real-world times can vary and often go longer.

Next, your attorneys will compile your case and write what’s known as a demand package. This is the comprehensive document explaining to the liable insurance company a number of things, including:

Why they are legally liable to you;
What kind of injuries you sustained;
What kind of medical treatment you underwent;
Any economic damages you sustained, such as out of pocket expenses and lost wages;
Any liens that, for instance, a health insurance company is asking to be repaid out of your case;
If applicable, your current condition and how any ongoing injuries have affected your life;
Your total medical bills;
And any other miscellaneous issues that may be relevant.

Every case’s demand will be different, of course. And there are often what I call ‘curveballs’ or ‘twists’ in the case ― in other words, the unexpected events or details that weren’t foreseeable. So, of course, this roadmap is subject to change and is only a very generalized framework.

Once the demand is ready, it’ll be sent to the liable insurance company. At that point, they usually take a minimum of one month to review it and come up with their response ― which, of course, is hopefully a settlement offer.

Once a settlement offer has been extended, it’s just a matter of communication and agreement.

So, our not-so-simple answer for “on average, how long will my case take from start to finish?” is “it depends on so many things that an attorney wrote a blog entry about it, and even then, there’s no set answer.”

Can this happen faster or differently? Absolutely. A smaller case with fewer records that come in faster could potentially progress faster. And, of course, a case can progress more slowly based on any number of factors ― such as delays in medical records coming in, insurance companies responding, things getting lost in the mail, global pandemics, or unforeseen settlement talk difficulties. And we haven’t even discussed the possibility of what one does if the liable insurance company doesn’t offer you enough or anything at all. That’s a whole other blog entry for another time.

Keep in mind, of course, that every case is different, and nothing above constitutes a guarantee as to the process. But, if nothing else, think of the above and realize that it’s probably how your attorney thinks about the progression of your case. It’s not about time as much as it is about doing what needs to be done. Only once everything is properly prepared can the claims be submitted for settlement negotiations. There’s no shortcut to a properly prepared case.
