We Are Here to Answer Your Questions and Protect Your Rights During this Crisis
We prepared this guide to help answer the most common concerns we are hearing right now from clients and new clients during the unprecedented public response to the coronavirus. If you have a specific question you would like answered, don’t hesitate to reach out to us directly.
Q. How are you handling current cases?
A. We are continuing the work we do to build successful cases for our clients via technologies put into place long before the COVID-19 crisis, including online meetings, video conferencing, email and phone. Even with many local, state and federal courts closed, we continue the following activities:
- Legal research on all matters
- Case review and investigation
- File correspondence, including complaints and legal briefs
- Video depositions and hearings, when allowed
- Settlement demands and negotiation
- And more
You can also rest assured that we will contact you directly if cancellations or other factors related to the COVID-19 response impact your case.
Q. Is there anything else I can do to help move my case forward?
A. All of us will be relying more on emails, telephone calls and other forms of electronic communication in the weeks ahead. We will try every means available to contact you if there is an urgent response needed in your case. The best way you can help is to keep an eye on emails and check messages on a regular basis, and then respond as soon as possible.
Q. With the courts closed, should I wait until they are open again to call about an injury?
A. All new client matters can be started with a phone call. We will immediately begin the assessment and investigation necessary to open a case, get it filed and make arrangements to move the case forward. New clients will NOT need to meet with us in person for several months, depending on the circumstances of the case.
One of our greatest concerns is that those who have already suffered an injury – or those who will in the future – will wait until after COVID-19 measures are relaxed before they contact our office. The longer the delay in starting legal action, the more difficult it is to pull together the facts, investigate and preserve important evidence, and ensure that all necessary paperwork has been filed in a timely fashion. This can ultimately compromise the outcome of a case.
We Are Here to Help
Bottom line – negligence and injuries are still happening. Our guarantee to our clients and new clients is that justice will not be delayed, even during the extraordinary measures now being taken to slow the virus.
