Our Process
From the moment we agree to represent a new client and that client authorizes us to begin to work on their behalf, our team gets to work. We exercise all of our resources to move the claim through the settlement and legal process as quickly as possible. We employ the latest technology in both computer systems and software to make sure each and every one of our cases is constantly moving. Our adversaries know, if we are representing you, your case is never neglected. Every file that comes into our office has a team of skilled professionals that have been trained to work on keeping that case moving forward.
Attorney Mitchell Proner directs the teams of associate attorneys, paralegals and support staff. Our associate attorneys are involved in preparing initial pleadings, maintaining contact with the court, and filing all time sensitive documents. The associate attorney also makes the initial contact with the insurance carrier and attorneys that may oppose us on the claim. We let all interested parties know we are representing our clients for all damages reasonably sustained from the accident including: past and future medical expenses, past and future loss of earnings, compensation for the effect the accident has had on the quality of life of our client from the date of the accident to the present and any compensation our client is entitled to for future suffering or loss of quality of life that our client made reasonably expect to experience at any time in the future.
A paralegal is also assigned to each file in the office. The role of the paralegal is to provide ongoing contact with each client to make sure that all medical records in the file are up to date and requested in a timely fashion. The support staff assists the paralegals and associates and enters data into our “state of the art” advanced computer system. Our computer system makes sure that every contact with the client is made in a methodical and pragmatic fashion. Clients are kept in constant contact with our office maintaining a special emphasis often at the beginning of the case when they may be actively healing and more involved with physicians, hospitals, physical therapists, and/or surgeons.
Our clients can expect us to keep them informed of all offers made on their case. We always keep them up-to-date of any settlement negotiations and notify them if we file a lawsuit on their behalf. We always let them know what they can reasonably expect to obtain from the lawsuit. We return all our phone calls in a timely fashion. We have live people answering our phones 24 hours a day and attorney Mitchell Proner is personally available to each and every one of the clients throughout the entire process.
