Much of the advance work is now done. The Personal Injury Lawyer in Bremerton has evaluated the events leading up to the injury and determined the client does have grounds to take legal action. Now that the decision is made, the client would do well to follow the advice of the legal counsel to the letter. Here are some of the things the lawyer is likely to discuss with the client.
Keeping a Low Profile
As the suit gets underway, expect the responsible party to be on the lookout for anything that could indicate the injury is not as bad as claimed. Even though the client may have the occasional day when the weakness and the pain ebbs a little, that is not a sign to get out and try to do too much. The best approach is to not exceed whatever level of activity the doctor as determined is practical. This is true no matter how appealing the idea of having a normal day sounds.
Along with avoiding a lot of pain the day after that exertion, there is no chance of anyone noticing the client’s efforts and conveying them to the opposing legal counsel. Stick with what the experts allow and there will a lot less explaining to do at the negotiating table.
All Inquires Go Through the Lawyer
Once the Personal Injury Lawyer in Bremerton has agreed to take the case, all questions, correspondence, and inquiries are directed to the legal counsel. At no time should the client talk with representatives of the opposition without legal counsel present. Even then, questions are only answered with the consent of the lawyer.
Don’t Talk About the Case
There may be a temptation to talk about how the case is going with others. Resist that temptation. There’s no way of knowing what remarks will make it back to the other side or if they will be complete or embellished in some manner. Say very little, and the case will not be complicated by stray remarks taken out of context.
