Personal Injury Support Staff
A successful result in a personal injury claim or lawsuit requires attention to detail and advocacy from the very beginning and at every step through its conclusion. Our Personal Injury Team -- attorneys, legal assistants and case management assistants -- works together to handle every aspect of your claim , from obtaining PIP medical or wage loss benefits, to collecting medical records, bills and reports for comprehensive case evaluations, to working with experts on liability and damages issues.
Our legal assistants, working under the direction of our trial attorneys, carry out the day-to-day work of ensuring that every aspect of your claim is handled in a timely and thorough way. Our team approach ensures that your case is consistently well-attended to and you are kept informed. The team stays in close communication with you as well as responding effectively to insurance companies and attorneys on the other side of your claim or case.
