Considering the large number of at least auto policyLimits ($ 15,000 in the state of Nevada) and serious injuries. Great machine limits of limited space. Consider the cost of litigation interviewed a case of liability or damage with limits of $ 100,000.

If you lose, amortization $ 85,000 and hours, days and weeks of your time.
Investing wisely
Analyze the responsibilities. If there is an opportunity, not a liability, or 50/51% split, the issue very carefully considered.

Convey to your customers that your help in his case, trying to get information and to request witnesses. Client can reveal a lot about a co-location clients.
SecondInterview

Questions for the spouse, children, parents or meet other key. Get the people involved in your life client to participate in the initial phase. There will certainly be deposed by the defense later. Help them to understand the concerns at the next client to the TBI. Explain the likelihood of their service role as guardianad litem for the customer. Are they ready?

All these things are important areas to deliver to the customer. Perhaps the injury hurt the marriage or relationshipwith children? Will he consider counseling? Why not?
Injuries
There's never been a head trauma or head injury? Love Defendant before "accident", if serious or not. Consider injury and accidents, the customer experience each.
