If a case is not resolved early in the litigation process, there is a very high likelihood that the plaintiff will be deposed by the insurance company’s attorney. A deposition can be a very challenging experience but having a good idea of what to expect makes the process far easier.

A key part of litigation is written discovery. Attorneys from both sides will serve the other with documents asking for information about the case that only the other side has.

If a claim cannot be resolved by negotiations with the insurance company, a lawsuit may be your only option. Many people have no idea what to expect, and that’s where we come in.

Every law firm and every case is different. Most attorneys are paid by the hour, by the project or on a contingency fee, and the vast majority of insurance cases are handled on a contingency basis.

Your insurance policy is a very complex document. An attorney can help you understand whether you should be covered under the circumstances. A great rule of thumb is “If I think I need an attorney, I probably do.”

Whether you have been in an accident, had your home hit by a tornado, or have become disabled, you are likely to be in a highly stressful period of your life. Insurance should help relieve that stress, not increase it.

Insurance policies are incredibly complex. Try reading your own. There are questions about what is covered, what is excluded, what limitations are imposed and many other sections.
