3. Are there any actions I can take to help my lawyer prove my case?
Typically, it is helpful for a client to keep or obtain copies of any documents relevant to the accident that caused your injury, as well as any medical attention received, including doctor and prescription bills. Also, we suggest that our clients not discuss the accident or injuries with a doctor or anyone else other than our team of attorneys and professionals.

4. What do I stand to recover if I win my case?
As a general rule, victims are entitled to compensation for past and future medical expenses, lost wages, lost earning capacity, pain and suffering, and the lost companionship of a loved one. In some cases, punitive damages may also be awarded. These amounts are meant to punish the wrongdoer who caused the injury.
