At Berman & Simmons, we believe in empowering our clients by providing clear insights into the legal process. Knowing what to expect can significantly alleviate your stress during this challenging time.

Here’s an overview of the typical steps involved in a personal injury case:

1. Initial Consultation: We begin with a no-obligation consultation to discuss the details of your case, answer your questions, and outline your potential options.
2. Investigation: Our experienced team will gather evidence, interview witnesses, and consult with medical professionals to build a robust case on your behalf.
3. Negotiation: Before heading to trial, we will negotiate with insurance companies to seek a fair settlement that reflects the true extent of your injuries and losses.
4. Filing a Lawsuit: If a settlement cannot be reached, we will file a lawsuit and prepare your case for court, ensuring your rights are vigorously defended every step of the way.
