Personal Injury Overview
When you or a loved one has been seriously injured due to the fault or negligence of another it can be stressful for you in all areas of your life. You may be immediately faced with difficult questions. How will you afford the medical bills? How will you make up for the lost time at work? What about pain and suffering? Will I ever be the same again?
Contacting an experienced Personal Injury attorney is the first step in putting your life back together after you have suffered a serious injury. At the Law Office of James R. Snell, Jr., we are able to assist clients with the full range of legal issues surrounding a serious injury.
Typically when a client initially contacts our office we immediately schedule an appointment to meet with them as quickly as is convenient and desirable for them. Morning, evening, weekend or hospital appointments are available. At the initial meeting Mr. Snell will learn as much as possible from you about the circumstances surrounding your injury and how it has affected you and your family. You will be able to determine if your case merits going forward with, and if you believe that Mr. Snell is the right attorney for you. There is never a cost or obligation to have your case reviewed by our office.
After the initial case review Mr. Snell goes to work ordering medical records, obtaining witness and police statements, and having the facts and circumstances of your case reviewed by any necessary or appropriate expert consulting witnesses. Once we have been properly able to evaluate the legal and factual issues surrounding your injury, as well as your damages, we will meet with you to review our results, and for us to determine the next course of action.
Most cases are resolved through either pre-litigation or pre-trial settlements. It is always our client’s decision whether or not to accept any settlement offer. For those occasions where litigation or trial is necessary, Mr. Snell brings his experience as a trial attorney to work for his clients.
