What You Should Expect from Your Cheatham County Personal Injury Attorney
When you schedule your initial consultation to discuss your accident claim with Attorney Rhonda R. Crabtree, she will initially take the time to learn about you and your case. Then, our legal team will perform the in-depth analytical work that’s necessary to prepare a successful case. This includes acquiring copies of your medical records, bills that you’ve paid, lost wage information, police reports on the accident, insurance company reports, first responder reports, etc. Oftentimes, it will be necessary to go the scene of the accident, review video footage, and interview witnesses. While you’re healing from your injuries or caring for a loved one, Rhonda R. Crabtree will be working hard to pursue your legal claims through the at-fault parties, their insurers, and in the Tennessee courts.
What You Need to Do if You’re Involved in an Accident
If you or a loved one has been involved in an accident, immediately seek medical attention — obtaining medical treatment is not a bar to suing those responsible for your injuries. If you are approached by someone representing the at-fault party, like the insurer or a lawyer, don’t sign anything. Insurers are often in a rush to get you to commit to a fast settlement, which is usually for a lower amount than you might have otherwise eventually received. Then, contact a reputable, trustworthy, and experienced personal injury lawyer, like Attorney Rhonda R. Crabtree. A professional attorney can be invaluable when it comes to recovering your losses.
