How Does this Process Work?

Nashville Personal Injury and Accident Death Lawyers

The work that needs to be done towards a successful personal injury claim requires dedication by an experienced attorney, and time. Resolution will not happen overnight, unless you want to accept the quick settlement that the defendant's insurance company offers you. At the Law Office of Bart Durham in Nashville, Tennessee, I am detail-oriented in how I establish a personal injury case.

While I work hard on the case, I ask all my clients to be patient and focus on recovering from their injuries or the grief from a wrongful death matter. The first step comes at the initial consultation where I gather the data from you. That can come in the form of what you tell me and any documentation you may have.

If the accident was a result of a motor vehicle crash, the site must be investigated by an experienced attorney and an accident reconstructionist. Police reports and accidents reports are gathered. If the collision involved a commercial truck, the trucking company must be contacted to both preserve and send us the information we need. That can include personnel records, log books, and the data from the truck's "black box" that will give us an idea of the speed the truck was traveling at and if there were any dangerous turns or braking.

Depending on the type of injury or the manner of death that occurred, I will bring on experts to provide their insight into how the accident occurred and what could have caused it at the Law Office of Bart Durham. They will be also asked to testify in depositions or in a courtroom to help solidify your claim that negligence caused your injury or the loss of a loved one.
