Personal injury law covers more than just car crashes. In Traverse County, we routinely see injuries from farm-related incidents, dog bites, unsafe premises, and distracted driving. Every case is unique, and outcomes depend on facts, documentation, and timing. That’s why we emphasize early guidance, open communication, and careful attention to medical details. We coordinate with your providers, gather records, and help you avoid insurance missteps that can limit recovery. You deserve a thoughtful plan built around your health and long-term needs. Metro Law Offices offers a free case review, and there’s no obligation to move forward unless you feel confident about the path ahead.
Acting promptly after an injury can make a meaningful difference in your case. Early steps help protect vital evidence, such as photographs, vehicle data, witness accounts, and security footage that may be lost over time. Quick communication with medical providers supports accurate diagnosis and consistent treatment, both essential to documenting your injuries. Timely legal help also prevents avoidable insurance pitfalls—like recorded statements or premature settlements—that can weaken your claim. In Traverse County, where crashes can occur on open highways or gravel roads, prompt investigation is especially important. With Metro Law Offices, you get a steady process that safeguards your claim while you focus on getting well.

From initial call to resolution, our team aims to reduce stress, pursue fair compensation, and provide reliable guidance tailored to your circumstances and goals.
Personal injury representation means having a legal team that organizes facts, applies Minnesota law, and advocates for compensation for your losses. Those losses may include medical bills, wage disruption, and the day-to-day impact of pain or limitations. In Traverse County, cases often involve rural roads, changing weather, and agricultural equipment, each with unique evidence needs. Our role is to investigate fault, present clear medical proof, and communicate effectively with insurance carriers. We help you navigate treatment documentation, claim forms, deadlines, and, if necessary, the court process. Throughout, we provide candid updates and guidance to support your recovery and decision-making.
After an injury, the process typically starts with a free consultation to review facts and discuss your goals. If we move forward, we begin gathering records, photographs, and witness statements, while helping you avoid insurance traps that can reduce your claim value. Minnesota’s no-fault system may provide early medical and wage benefits, and we coordinate those benefits with any at-fault liability claim. If negotiations do not lead to a fair result, we may recommend filing a lawsuit. Even then, many cases resolve through continued negotiation or mediation. Our focus remains consistent: protect your rights, showcase your damages, and pursue a fair outcome.
A personal injury claim is a legal request for compensation when someone else’s careless conduct causes harm. In Minnesota, most claims require proving negligence: a duty of care, a breach of that duty, a causal link to the injury, and resulting damages. Damages can include medical expenses, wage loss, and the human impact of pain and limitations. Evidence—such as crash reports, medical records, photos, and witness statements—creates the foundation for recovery. Insurance companies evaluate that evidence when considering settlement. If they refuse to pay fairly, a lawsuit may be filed within the applicable deadline. Strong documentation and timely action make your case easier to understand and support.
Most cases follow a practical sequence: consultation, investigation, treatment and recovery, claim submission, negotiation, and, if needed, litigation. Along the way, we identify all available insurance, including liability, uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage, and Minnesota no-fault benefits. We collect medical records that accurately reflect your injuries and help you organize time-off documentation and out-of-pocket costs. A demand package tells your story with clarity and evidence, aiming for a fair settlement. If an insurer undervalues your claim, we discuss filing suit, working through discovery, and preparing for mediation or trial. Our steady approach keeps your case moving while you focus on health and stability.
Understanding a few common terms can make the process feel more manageable. Negligence refers to careless conduct that causes harm. Comparative fault addresses how recovery is impacted if multiple parties share responsibility. The statute of limitations sets deadlines to bring a lawsuit, which vary by claim type. No-fault or Personal Injury Protection may cover medical and wage benefits early in the case, regardless of who caused a crash. These concepts shape strategy and timing, especially in Traverse County where evidence can be spread across rural scenes and multiple carriers. We explain each term in plain language so you can make informed choices with confidence.
Negligence is the failure to use reasonable care under the circumstances, resulting in harm to another person. To prove negligence in Minnesota, we typically show there was a duty of care, that the duty was breached, that the breach caused the injury, and that the victim suffered damages. Examples include texting while driving, ignoring icy conditions, or failing to maintain safe premises. Evidence may include photos, crash reports, medical records, and witness statements. Clear documentation helps connect the careless act to your injuries and losses. The stronger the link, the better your chances of obtaining fair compensation through settlement or litigation.
Comparative fault addresses situations where more than one party shares responsibility for an incident. Under Minnesota law, your recovery may be reduced by your percentage of fault, and if your fault exceeds the other party’s, you may not recover damages. Insurance companies often raise comparative fault to minimize payouts, which makes early evidence gathering especially important. Photos, road conditions, vehicle data, and witness accounts can clarify how the event unfolded. In Traverse County, where rural road visibility and weather play roles, carefully documenting conditions is vital. Even if fault is disputed, organized proof can keep your claim on track and fairly evaluated.
The statute of limitations sets the deadline to file a lawsuit. Different claim types can carry different deadlines, and certain exceptions may apply. Waiting too long can bar recovery altogether, even if the facts are strong. Because evidence can fade, earlier action is often beneficial. We review the facts, the claim type, and any factors that might affect timing. In Traverse County, we also consider the practical challenges of gathering rural evidence, including weather-driven delays and dispersed witnesses. The safest approach is to consult promptly so we can identify deadlines, protect your rights, and keep all options available throughout your recovery.
Minnesota’s no-fault, often called Personal Injury Protection, may cover certain medical expenses and wage loss after a motor vehicle crash, regardless of fault. These benefits can provide early financial relief while your liability claim is investigated. However, forms, billing coordination, and treatment documentation must be handled carefully to avoid delays or denials. We help organize medical records, communicate with adjusters, and ensure bills are submitted properly. No-fault interacts with other coverages, including liability and underinsured motorist policies, so strategy matters. In Traverse County cases, timely filing and accurate paperwork can make a meaningful difference in both care continuity and claim value.
Some people start by working directly with insurers, especially for minor injuries. That can work when fault is clear, medical care is brief, and losses are straightforward. But when injuries linger, bills grow, or liability is disputed, representation helps level the playing field. A firm organizes records, calculates damages, and manages negotiations, reducing pressure while you heal. In Traverse County, where scenes can be remote and evidence time-sensitive, a coordinated approach often pays off. Before you decide, schedule a free case review. We’ll discuss your specific facts, potential challenges, and whether a limited or full-service approach best serves your goals.
If responsibility is obvious, injuries are minor, and treatment ends quickly with no ongoing symptoms, some people handle claims directly with insurers. Examples might include a low-speed fender bender with immediate recovery and minimal medical care. In these cases, documenting everything—photos, invoices, and discharge notes—can support a fair, prompt resolution. Keep communication concise and avoid recorded statements without preparation. Even if you pursue a limited approach, a brief consultation can help you spot common pitfalls and confirm you’re not leaving important benefits on the table. If complications arise, you can always shift to a more robust strategy.
When a crash causes only property damage and no injuries, a limited approach may be practical. Gather repair estimates, photographs, and the adjuster’s valuation, and request a detailed explanation for any reductions. If minor soft-tissue symptoms resolve quickly without time off work, some people choose to finalize early. That said, be cautious about signing broad releases before you are sure injuries have fully resolved. In Traverse County, vehicle inspections can take longer due to distance, so start the process quickly. If the insurer undervalues your loss or delays payment, consulting with a lawyer can reframe negotiations and encourage a timely resolution.
When liability is contested, there are multiple vehicles, or commercial and agricultural policies are involved, representation can be vital. These cases require coordinated evidence collection, witness interviews, and careful coverage analysis. In rural Traverse County, weather and distance complicate investigations, making early action even more important. A legal team preserves scene evidence, secures data, and communicates with multiple insurers so your story is presented clearly. If settlement talks stall, your case can be prepared for mediation or court. The goal is to protect your rights, manage the moving parts, and pursue a resolution that reflects the full scope of your losses.
Serious injuries require thorough documentation, consistent treatment, and careful damage calculation. Beyond immediate medical bills, you may face extended therapy, reduced work capacity, and lasting pain or limitations. A full-service approach coordinates physicians’ opinions, future-care estimates, and wage-loss proof to build a clear picture of your harms. In Traverse County, where specialty care often requires travel, we account for mileage and logistical burdens. Insurers evaluate proof, not assumptions, so our job is to present your case with organized records and compelling explanation. This structure helps achieve a settlement that aligns with your needs or, if necessary, positions the case for court.
A start-to-finish strategy keeps your claim moving while you heal. It streamlines communication with insurers, ensures deadlines are met, and builds a cohesive narrative backed by solid records. By coordinating medical documentation, tracking wage loss, and preserving evidence, we reduce gaps that insurers might use to devalue your case. In Traverse County, where scenes can change quickly due to weather or farm activity, organization and timing matter. A comprehensive approach brings clarity to complex facts, improves negotiation leverage, and lowers the risk of last-minute surprises that can jeopardize fair compensation.
Thorough preparation also supports better decision-making. With a complete picture of liability, medical needs, and future losses, you can evaluate offers with confidence. If negotiations fall short, the work done early—witness statements, medical opinions, and documented expenses—translates directly into litigation readiness. That continuity saves time and reduces stress. Our aim is steady progress, fewer delays, and a clear pathway to resolution. Whether your case resolves in settlement, mediation, or court, the groundwork of a comprehensive approach helps ensure your story is told accurately and your damages are supported by credible, organized evidence.
When evidence is collected early and organized well, your case is easier to understand and harder to dispute. We tie together photos, reports, medical records, and witness statements to create a clear narrative of what happened and why. In Traverse County, that might include road-condition details, farm equipment visibility, or weather-related hazards. A strong theory of the case helps avoid distractions and keeps negotiations focused on key facts and fair compensation. It also guides medical proof, ensuring your injuries are connected to the incident through consistent, objective documentation that insurers and juries find persuasive.
Insurers respond to well-documented claims. When we deliver a demand backed by clear liability proof and organized damages, negotiations tend to become more productive. If talks stall, the file is already structured for litigation, with exhibits and timelines ready for use. That preparation saves time, reduces stress, and signals that your case will be presented confidently if court becomes necessary. In Traverse County matters, where travel and scheduling can slow progress, a ready-to-go file helps maintain momentum. The result is a more efficient path to a fair resolution, whether through settlement, mediation, or a day in court.
Photos, names, and timelines matter. Photograph vehicles, road conditions, weather, and visible injuries. Collect witness names and contact details while memories are fresh. Save every bill, receipt, and work note related to your injury. Keep a simple journal recording pain levels, missed activities, and doctor instructions. In Traverse County, weather changes and rural scenes can shift quickly, so early documentation is especially valuable. Share your records with your attorney so your story is told consistently. Clear documentation helps avoid disputes, supports treatment decisions, and keeps negotiations centered on accurate, verifiable facts.
Insurance adjusters are trained communicators. Innocent remarks can be misinterpreted or used to reduce claims. Direct calls to your attorney and avoid recorded statements unless advised. We organize facts, provide accurate updates, and prevent premature settlements that undervalue your losses. In Traverse County claims, we also coordinate with no-fault carriers to keep medical bills moving while the liability case develops. Clear, consistent communication preserves credibility and keeps pressure off you. With a single point of contact, your story remains accurate, your rights stay protected, and the process moves forward with fewer delays and fewer surprises.
Serious injuries create medical, financial, and legal challenges at the same time. An attorney can organize the moving parts, identify all available insurance, and present a clear, well-supported claim to the carrier. In Traverse County, the added complexities of rural scenes, agricultural equipment, and changing weather make early guidance especially helpful. We manage forms, coordinate records, and communicate with adjusters so you can focus on recovery. When questions arise—treatment options, wage loss, property damage—we provide practical answers and form a strategy designed around your goals and timeline.
If negotiations stall or the insurer disputes fault, a law firm can shift gears into litigation without losing momentum. The groundwork we lay—witness interviews, medical proof, damages tracking—translates directly into courtroom readiness. This continuity helps avoid delays and keeps pressure on the carrier to consider a fair resolution. Whether your case resolves through settlement, mediation, or trial, our approach remains the same: protect your rights, tell your story clearly, and pursue compensation that reflects the full impact of your injuries and losses, today and in the future.
We frequently see injuries from rural road crashes, icy intersections, and collisions involving farm machinery. Premises incidents—like slips in stores, rental properties, or parking lots—are also common, especially after freeze-thaw cycles. Dog bites often impact children and require careful medical follow-up and documentation. Distracted driving and uninsured motorists can complicate recovery, making coverage analysis important. Each scenario demands timely evidence and consistent medical care. We help you gather proof, coordinate benefits, and present your claim with clarity. If disputes arise, we stand ready to move from negotiation to litigation while maintaining focus on your health and long-term needs.
Open highways and gravel roads in Traverse County can present visibility challenges, especially at dusk or during harvest. Collisions with slow-moving farm equipment raise unique issues, including lighting, signage, and lane usage. We investigate scene markings, vehicle data, and witness accounts to understand how the crash occurred. Weather, dust, and road surfaces often factor into liability and damages. By collecting timely photographs, preserving vehicle conditions, and coordinating with investigators, we build a clear picture of fault. Our goal is to present your injuries and losses with organized, credible proof that supports fair compensation from the responsible parties and their insurers.
Falls can happen anywhere—from grocery aisles to office entryways to rental properties. In Minnesota, property owners must take reasonable steps to address hazards they know or should know about. In Traverse County, winter creates recurring risks: black ice near thresholds, tracked-in moisture, and snow-packed parking lots. We gather incident reports, maintenance logs, and surveillance when available, and we document injuries and treatment thoroughly. Quick medical evaluation is important, even if pain seems minor at first. With careful investigation and consistent care, we present a complete case that connects the unsafe condition to your injuries and the losses you have endured.
Dog bite cases can be emotionally difficult, especially when children are involved. Minnesota’s laws can hold owners responsible when bites cause injuries, but documentation is essential. We encourage prompt medical care, photos of wounds, and follow-up with specialists if scarring is a concern. In Traverse County, we also consider vaccination records and local reporting requirements. Emotional harm and missed activities may be compensable, so keeping a detailed journal helps. We present the facts with sensitivity and clarity, aiming for solutions that address both physical recovery and the longer-term effects that families may face after a traumatic incident.
Local knowledge matters. Traverse County cases often involve rural intersections, farm equipment, and weather-driven hazards. We understand how these factors affect fault, evidence, and insurance evaluations. Our approach is hands-on: we gather records early, interview witnesses when memories are fresh, and coordinate benefits so treatment stays on track. You get regular updates and plain-language explanations, so you always know what to expect. We handle insurer contact and forms, freeing you to focus on your health while we move the claim forward methodically and efficiently.
Communication is at the heart of our work. We return calls, explain options, and check in about your recovery and goals. If an offer fails to reflect the full impact of your injuries, we walk you through the pros and cons of continued negotiation or filing suit. Because the groundwork is laid early, shifting to litigation is smooth if needed. Our file is organized, deadlines are tracked, and your story is presented clearly, whether at the negotiating table, in mediation, or in court.
Affordability matters, especially after missed work and medical bills. We offer a free consultation to discuss your case and answer questions. In many matters, attorney fees are contingent on recovery, meaning you don’t pay those fees unless we obtain compensation. We also help coordinate no-fault benefits in Minnesota auto cases to keep bills moving while liability is addressed. Our goal is practical support, transparent expectations, and a path that aligns with your needs, timeline, and peace of mind.
We begin with a free consultation to understand the facts and your goals. If you choose to move forward, we open your file, notify insurers, and launch an investigation tailored to your case. We request medical records, track expenses and wage loss, and coordinate benefits such as Minnesota no-fault where applicable. Once treatment stabilizes, we prepare a comprehensive demand package and negotiate for fair compensation. If the carrier will not be reasonable, we discuss filing suit, mediation, and trial preparation. At every step, you receive clear updates and practical guidance built around your needs.
Your first meeting sets the foundation. We listen to your story, answer questions about Minnesota law, and identify immediate priorities like medical care and insurance notifications. We explain your rights and potential timelines in plain language. If we proceed, we outline a case plan that includes evidence collection, provider coordination, and communication protocols for insurers. You’ll know what to expect and how we’ll work together. Our goal at this stage is clarity, confidence, and a roadmap that focuses on your recovery while we begin building a strong claim.
We take time to understand how the incident happened, what treatment you’ve received, and how the injury affects work, family, and daily life. We discuss what a successful outcome looks like for you—timing, financial needs, and expectations. This helps us tailor the strategy to your priorities and anticipate insurer arguments. We also identify urgent tasks, like reporting requirements or preserving evidence. By aligning on goals at the outset, we set a tone of collaboration and transparency that carries through every stage of your Traverse County claim.
After the consultation, we move quickly. We notify insurers, request key records, and help coordinate medical appointments if needed. We provide guidance on handling adjuster calls and avoiding statements that can be taken out of context. We also start an evidence checklist tailored to your case—photos, contact information, receipts, and any digital data that may support your claim. This early organization prevents gaps, protects your rights, and positions your case for the strongest possible presentation when it’s time to negotiate or file suit.
We build your case with facts and records. That includes scene photos, witness accounts, medical records, and proof of wage loss and out-of-pocket costs. We review coverage—liability, no-fault, and underinsured motorist policies—to ensure all benefits are considered. Once we have a clear picture of fault and damages, we prepare and submit a detailed demand package to the insurer. Throughout, we keep you updated, answer questions, and adjust strategy as new information emerges, always with a focus on your health and long-term recovery.
Strong cases rest on strong evidence. We collect medical records that accurately reflect your injuries, treatment plans, and prognosis. We secure photos, crash reports, and, when available, vehicle data or surveillance footage. In Traverse County, we pay special attention to weather, visibility, and farm equipment usage, which often influence liability. We also contact witnesses early to preserve details and reduce the risk of fading memories. Organized, credible proof becomes the backbone of negotiations and, if necessary, the foundation for a compelling presentation in court.
We work to keep medical bills moving through appropriate channels, including Minnesota no-fault in auto cases, while liability is addressed. We track expenses, wage loss, travel for treatment, and the day-to-day effects of your injuries. When appropriate, we obtain provider opinions on restrictions and future care needs. This careful documentation paints a complete picture of your damages and helps counter efforts to minimize your claim. By the time we submit your demand, your losses are presented with clarity, credibility, and support from records and professional assessments.
With evidence assembled, we push for a fair resolution. We negotiate directly with insurers, present your damages, and respond to counteroffers with facts and records. If settlement talks stall, mediation can provide a structured setting for progress. When filing suit is appropriate, we move forward while keeping you informed about timelines and what to expect. Preparation is continuous—exhibits, witnesses, and strategy are refined so your case is ready for court if needed. Throughout, we remain focused on your recovery and a result that reflects your true losses.
Our demand tells your story with clear liability proof and organized damages. We explain how the incident happened, why the other party is responsible, and how your life has been affected. Insurers evaluate risk and evidence; we meet that evaluation with facts, records, and a persuasive narrative. We keep you involved in every offer and counteroffer, explaining benefits and tradeoffs so you can make informed decisions. If the carrier undervalues the claim, we are prepared to escalate while continuing to seek a fair, timely resolution.
If filing suit becomes necessary, we move efficiently. We draft the complaint, manage discovery, and prepare exhibits and witnesses. You will receive guidance on depositions and court procedures so you feel prepared and supported. In Traverse County cases, we also manage logistics related to travel and scheduling. Our trial preparation is practical and evidence-driven, designed to present your case clearly and respectfully. Whether the case resolves before trial or proceeds to a verdict, the preparation ensures your voice is heard and your damages are presented with credibility.
Minnesota uses comparative fault, which means your recovery may be reduced by your share of responsibility. You can still pursue compensation as long as your fault does not exceed the other party’s. Insurers often raise partial fault to lower payouts, so organized evidence is important. Photos, witness statements, and medical records help clarify what happened and how you were injured. Early guidance can prevent missteps that unintentionally increase your perceived fault. In Traverse County, road conditions, visibility, and farm equipment may influence fault allocation. We investigate these details and present a clear narrative with supporting records. If the insurer overstates your responsibility, we push back with facts and, when needed, prepare for litigation. The goal is a fair assessment that reflects what truly occurred and the impact on your life.
Seek medical care, even if symptoms seem minor. Early evaluations create a baseline for your injuries and help prevent gaps in treatment. Take photos of the scene, vehicles, and visible injuries. Collect contact information for witnesses. Notify your insurer promptly, but avoid recorded statements until you receive guidance. Keep all receipts and start a simple journal about pain, sleep disruption, and missed activities. Call Metro Law Offices to discuss next steps tailored to your situation. We’ll help you organize records, protect key evidence, and communicate with insurers. In Traverse County, scene conditions can change fast due to weather and agricultural activity, so acting quickly matters. A brief conversation can clarify your rights, potential benefits, and a plan to move forward confidently.
Timelines vary. Straightforward cases with brief treatment may resolve in a few months, while complex matters with disputed liability or lasting injuries can take longer. Settlement usually follows once treatment stabilizes and we can assess future needs. Rushing can result in undervaluing long-term effects, so we balance speed with completeness. In Traverse County, logistics such as travel for specialty care or coordinating rural witnesses can affect timing. If a lawsuit is filed, additional steps—discovery, mediation, and trial settings—extend the timeline. Throughout, you’ll receive updates and practical guidance. Our focus is advancing your case efficiently while ensuring your damages are accurately documented and fairly presented.
We offer a free consultation. In many personal injury matters, attorney fees are contingency-based, meaning fees are paid from a recovery rather than upfront. Case costs—like records, expert consultations, or filing fees—are discussed clearly so you know what to expect. We provide transparent agreements and regular updates on costs. If there is no recovery, you typically owe no attorney fee in contingency arrangements. We’ll explain the structure in detail during your consultation. Our goal is to make representation accessible while maintaining clear communication about fees, expenses, and potential outcomes. If you have questions at any time, we’re here to provide straightforward answers.
It’s best to consult an attorney before giving any recorded statement. Adjusters are trained to ask questions that can minimize claims, even when injuries are real. Innocent inconsistencies can be used to reduce or deny compensation. We can handle communications, provide accurate updates, and ensure your statements are clear and supported by records. If you’ve already spoken with an adjuster, let us know. We’ll review what was said, correct misunderstandings when possible, and refocus discussions on documented facts. Protecting your credibility early helps your case proceed smoothly, avoids avoidable disputes, and keeps negotiations centered on fair compensation.
Delayed pain is common, particularly with soft-tissue injuries or concussions. Adrenaline can mask symptoms for hours or days. Seek medical attention as soon as you notice new or worsening pain. Tell providers exactly when symptoms started, and follow their recommendations. Document your discomfort and activity limitations in a simple journal, and keep all treatment records. Insurers sometimes question injuries that appear later, so prompt evaluation and consistent care are important. We use your medical records and timeline to connect the injury to the incident. If you reported being okay initially, that’s understandable; clear documentation can still support your claim. Early guidance can help you avoid missteps and keep your case on track.
In Minnesota auto cases, no-fault (PIP) may cover certain medical bills and wage loss regardless of fault. This can reduce financial stress early in your recovery. We help with forms, billing coordination, and communication so benefits flow smoothly. No-fault interacts with liability and underinsured motorist claims, which can affect strategy and timing. We evaluate all coverage to avoid gaps and maximize available benefits. In Traverse County, where specialty care may require travel, we track related costs so they are considered. Coordinating no-fault with your broader claim helps maintain treatment continuity and supports a comprehensive presentation of your damages.
Save medical records, bills, receipts, and diagnostic images. Keep pay stubs or employer notes documenting missed time and restrictions. Hold onto photos of the scene, vehicles, and injuries. A daily journal describing pain levels, sleep disruption, and missed activities helps explain your experience. For auto cases, keep repair estimates and correspondence with insurers. In Traverse County, note weather conditions, road surfaces, and any farm equipment involved. Gather witness contact information early, as people can be spread across large areas. Organized documentation strengthens negotiations and, if necessary, litigation. The clearer your proof, the more difficult it is for an insurer to discount your injuries and losses.
Most cases settle out of court once insurers see a well-supported claim. Settlement can be efficient and allows you to avoid the uncertainty of trial. If an offer doesn’t reflect your injuries and future needs, we discuss mediation or filing suit. We’ll review the pros and cons at each stage so you can make informed choices. If litigation is necessary, we move forward while continuing to evaluate settlement opportunities. Our preparation emphasizes clear evidence and credible presentation. Whether resolved at the negotiating table or in the courtroom, the objective remains the same: a fair outcome that reflects the full impact of your injuries.
Case value depends on liability, the severity and duration of injuries, medical expenses, wage loss, and how the injuries impact your daily life. We do not rely on formulas; we rely on records, consistent treatment, and credible explanations from your providers. Once treatment stabilizes, we assemble a demand package and begin negotiations. Payment timing depends on whether the case settles or proceeds to litigation. Settlements typically fund after paperwork is completed and liens are resolved. If a lawsuit is filed, timelines extend due to court schedules and discovery. Throughout, we keep you informed and work to move your case forward efficiently while protecting your rights.
