There will be periods of time during the course of your case when your active participation is not necessary. You may wonder what is happening with your lawsuit. Our attorneys and our support staff are available to answer your questions in person or on the telephone. In addition, you will be advised of significant developments in your case. We need you to tell us of any important changes in your medical condition, new doctors you see, the date you return to work, the names and addresses of witnesses that come to your attention and so forth. This information will help is to represent you in the best possible way. We will send you periodic update letters to help you keep us informed. 

Settlement negotiations can be held at any phase of the litigation. Most of our settlement discussions are with insurance companies. We make every effort to negotiate whenever there is a reasonable chance of reaching a fair settlement for our client. Insurance companies generally have little incentive to settle early and, therefore, the resolution of the case often occurs in the later stages of the lawsuit. We will always keep you advised of any settlement offers.
