InvestigationA careful investigation of a Michigan car accident claim is absolutely critical. We thoroughly and carefully investigate every car accident case. Although every case is unique, our Michigan car accident investigation process usually involves several important steps. We begin by obtaining police reports, auto accident reports, witness statements, and photographs. The investigation process continues as the Michigan car accident case proceeds. We may retain experts to help us present your claim effectively. These experts may be necessary to “reconstruct” the car accident, by determining events leading to the crash and the mistakes made by the person whose negligence caused the motor vehicle collision. Of course, the most important factors in a car accident investigation are experience and determination. Our investigators are highly experienced and pursue the evidence needed in each truck accident case as if their own loved ones were involved.

Pre-SuitIn the pre-suit process, we work to assemble the materials that support your Michigan car accident claim, including medical records and other information about your injuries. In this phase of the case, our focus shifts from assessing the viability of the car accident claim to managing your case to maximize its value. Usually, our clients continue to receive medical treatment after a serious car accident. During the pre-suit process, we work hard to maintain the most up-to-date medical, injury and work-related information. During the pre-suit process, an attorney and legal assistant will personally manage development of your Michigan car accident case. You will get the direct dial toll-free phone number and e-mail for your attorney and legal assistant. You should never hesitate to contact us for any reason. Remember, we work for you. Most clients quite reasonably want to know how much money they could receive at the end of a successful car accident claim. The truth is that the value of your case depends upon the outcome of your medical treatment and extent of your recovery, as well as the factual circumstances surrounding the car accident. If you or a loved one needs legal help, talk with an experienced Michigan car accident lawyer. Get the Bernstein Advantage today. LitigationThe majority of our Michigan car accident claims are settled during the pre-suit process, without ever having to file a lawsuit. We attempt to negotiate with the auto insurance company involved to reach a settlement that is satisfactory to you. However, if the auto insurance company is unwilling to settle the case for an appropriate value, we will file a formal lawsuit on your behalf, and devote the time, effort, and expertise to prepare your case for trial. In these instances, our Michigan car accident clients benefit from the substantial trial experience and financial resources of our firm. Car accident litigation usually involves a process called discovery. During the discovery process, you may be called upon to answer written questions called interrogatories, or to give testimony known as a deposition. Of course, an experienced trial lawyer from our office will be with you every step of the way. If it is necessary to present your Michigan car accident case in court in front of a judge or jury, our team of accomplished trial lawyers will ensure that your car accident claim is presented with professionalism and skill. If you or a loved one needs legal help, contact an experienced Michigan car accident injury lawyer. Get the Bernstein Advantage today. ConclusionAt the conclusion of your Michigan car accident case, our goal is to have exceeded your expectations in both service and value. We will work tirelessly to accomplish this goal. After a settlement or verdict, the disbursement process concludes our work. This process typically involves receiving a check from the auto insurance company, reviewing and approving the release of claims, if necessary sorting out any lien issues, and then delivering a check to you as quickly as possible. If you or a loved one was injured in a Michigan car accident, make the time to contact an experienced car accident lawyer immediately. Protect your rights. Get the Bernstein Advantage today.
