- New evidence or information discovered that will support your case
- Any settlement offers you receive
- Dates for upcoming court hearings if you take your case to court

Identifying the at-Fault Party and Establishing Their Negligence and Liability
Negligence sits at the core of any personal injury case. Our legal team knows what insurance companies and courts need to see and hear before they accept that the party who caused your accident did so out of negligence and therefore is liable for your damages.
We will collect all relevant evidence and present compelling arguments that:
- The defendant owed you a duty to take reasonable care to keep you from harm.
- The defendant violated this duty through either action or inaction.
- The defendant’s breach of duty caused the car accident that injured you.
- You suffered injuries and other recoverable damages as a result.
Investigating and Building Your Case with the Strongest Evidence Available
To support your case argument, our legal team will investigate every facet of your accident in New Cassel, from cause to damages, and gather evidence that will support your personal injury case.
For example, depending upon the unique circumstances of your case, a car accident lawyer from Friedman & Simon, L.L.P., will do the following:
- Visit the scene of the accident to scout for evidence
- Obtain videos from nearby surveillance cameras, phones, and other sources
- Review photos of the accident
- Gather opinions from economic, medical, vocational rehabilitation, and life-care planning experts
- Enlist the help of an accident reconstruction specialist
- Get wage statements from your employer
- Interview witnesses
- Collect all medical records
Our legal team will do all the heavy lifting related to your case, that is, handle all the details, so you are able to focus your efforts on your medical treatment and recovering from your injuries.
Communicating With Parties Related to Your Case on Your Behalf
Often in car accident cases, the at-fault’s or liable party’s insurance provider will reach out to the plaintiff and offer a settlement deal in hopes of avoiding going to court. However, generally with initial settlement offers, those figures do not factor the full scope of damages that plaintiffs experience. In fact, frequently such settlement offers are “low ball” offers, intended to “get rid of,” a potential liability for pennies on the dollar of the case’s true value.
Our team wants to serve as a buffer between you and inquiring parties so that we are able to protect you. Other reasons why other parties might reach out include:
- Insurance companies want to receive statements about your case from you, which might then be used against you.
- Police officers might follow-up with you regarding their investigation of the accident.
- Defense attorneys might reach out to you with an aggressive response to your claims, which might intimidate you from pursuing compensation.
Our legal team will guard your rights and respond to any case-related messages you may receive on your behalf.
Calculating Your Recoverable Damages
Although we will apply some of the evidence we gather to establish fault, negligence, and liability, other evidence that we will gather will go toward proving all the details of your damages. The list we compile will account for financial, physical, and emotional losses you have suffered, losses you might continue to endure, and other losses that you will face in the future based on expert testimony.
Every case is different, but some of the types of damages you might recover include:
- Medical expenses
- Costs for prescription medicines
- Costs for physical rehabilitation after medical treatment
- Current and future loss of income, including benefits
- Diminished future potential earnings
- Costs for domestic services if your injuries prevent you from fulfilling certain tasks, such as home care or childcare
- Out-of-pocket expenses, such as home modifications to accommodate your injuries
- Pain and suffering
- Diminished quality of life
Other damages not listed here could also be included in our demand letter compensation. We will learn about your unique damages as we communicate with you so that our prosecution of your claim can be tailored to your special, individual circumstances.
