What happens after I hire an attorney?

Just like you should follow your doctors’ advice for treatment of your injuries, you should follow your personal injury attorney’s advice regarding your case. After you hire an attorney, you should direct any phone calls or correspondence from the defendant’s insurance company to your attorney’s office. You should also make copies of any other documents related to your case and mail them to your attorney. Finally, you should always keep your lawyer informed about any changes in your medical care/treatment, condition, work, or life in general that may affect your case. Your attorney should be available to answer any questions you may have throughout the duration of your case, and should notify you of important milestones regarding your case.
