The legal process can seem daunting, but our Hickory accident lawyers are here to guide you through each step. Here's a detailed overview of what you can expect when you work with Teddy, Meekins & Talbert:
Initial Consultation: We'll discuss the details of your case, explain your legal rights, and outline the steps we'll take together. This is your opportunity to ask questions and get to know our team.
Investigation: Our team will conduct an investigation of your accident. Our case evaluation includes:
○ Gathering evidence from the accident scene
○ Obtaining police reports (accident report) and witness statements
○ Collecting medical records and bills
○ Consulting with expert witnesses when necessary
○ Analyzing any available video footage or photographs
Medical Assessment: We'll work with medical professionals to understand the full extent of your injuries. This can be crucial for determining their long-term impact. We think any settlement or verdict should account for future medical needs.
Case Building: Based on the evidence gathered, our goal is to build a case that clearly demonstrates the other party's liability and the extent of your damages.
Negotiation: We'll engage with insurance companies to seek a fair settlement. Our team is well-versed in negotiation tactics and won't be intimidated by large insurance companies. We'll keep you informed throughout the important stages of this process and advise you on whether we think it’s a good idea to accept or reject any offers.
Litigation: If a fair settlement cannot be reached, we're prepared to take your case to court. We’re courtroom lawyers. Our experienced trial lawyers regularly advocate for clients in court, fighting for the compensation our clients deserve. Each case, like each person hurt in an accident, is different. The decision whether to litigate any legal issue is predicated on the fact pattern and the NC accident laws. Consult legal counsel to determine whether your matter is appropriate for litigation.
Resolution: Whether through settlement or trial verdict, our sincere hope is to resolve your case in your favor. To be clear, we don’t take matters for legal representation unless we believe there are reasonable grounds for a recovery or verdict. Once a resolution or verdict after trial is reached, we want to make sure you understand the terms and receive your compensation in a timely manner.
Throughout this process, we prioritize clear communication. Our goal is to make the legal process as stress-free as possible for you, allowing you to focus on your recovery while we handle the legal complexities.
