What happens when you call
The first conversation is free and it is with an attorney rather than an intake worker. It covers what happened, what injuries there are, and what insurance exists, because those three things decide whether there is a claim worth pursuing.
From there the firm chases the documents that prove the case. Where there was a collision, the crash report matters and is often not available for one to two weeks, so in the meantime the facts come from the people who were there, and from any camera footage before it loops over. Where the injury happened at work, the pay records matter most, because the four full weeks before an injury generally set the compensation rate and most people have no way to check whether that arithmetic is right.
Then the medical record, which is what a claim is actually proved on. Consistent treatment, nothing missed, and a physician who records how the injury relates to what happened. Erik Tadda reads those records himself rather than working from a summary, and he is the one who speaks to the insurance adjuster.
At the end the firm makes a recommendation on settling or filing suit and explains the reasoning. The decision stays with you.
