Personal Injury and Wrongful Death
Serious injury or wrongful death deserves more than a quick intake script.
The first review connects responsibility, medical proof, life impact, available coverage, and any preservation or deadline issue.
When this may fit
Start with a fact pattern, not a conclusion.
A page cannot decide whether a claim exists. These are the kinds of facts that help the firm decide whether a closer review is appropriate.
Injury, treatment, death, or life impact is documented
Insurance or another recovery source may exist
Evidence to preserve
Keep the records that make the chronology testable.
Incident reports, scene photos, video, and witness details
Preserve the original, note where it came from, and keep a simple date index. Do not send sensitive records through a public form.
Medical records, bills, work restrictions, and a treatment timeline
Preserve the original, note where it came from, and keep a simple date index. Do not send sensitive records through a public form.
Insurance letters, claim numbers, damaged-property records, and preservation notices
Preserve the original, note where it came from, and keep a simple date index. Do not send sensitive records through a public form.

Past and future medical or life-impact evidence
The weight of this factor depends on the complete facts, available law, and recoverable proof.
Coverage, collectability, comparative fault, and litigation leverage
The weight of this factor depends on the complete facts, available law, and recoverable proof.
Deadlines vary by claim, party, forum, and facts. This page does not calculate a filing or notice deadline. If timing may matter, call promptly.
