You should expect your lawyer to provide several services on your behalf. The first is to send notice to all the insurance companies involved that he is representing you now, so they should stop calling you. Next, he should be able to refer you to the best doctors for your particular injuries. Once your medical care is complete or you know how much your future medical costs will be, your lawyer will gather all your records and send a demand to the insurance companies. At that point, he’ll open negotiations to get you a fair settlement for your injuries.
