Guidelines and Recommendations

Some Steps to Understand a Potential Claim

  1. Understanding the Type of Matter (Often Several Types Occur Simultaneously):
    • (An initial step helps you identify the nature of the dispute and issues at hand, such as contract disputes, personal injury claims, criminal charges, or family law matters. Understanding the type of matter will guide your approach and legal strategy.)
  2. Gather Data and Organize:
    • Collect all relevant documents, evidence, and information related to the matter. This may include contracts, medical records, police reports, correspondence, and any other relevant materials. Organize the information systematically for easy reference and analysis.
  3. Analyze Damage Suffered, and Harms Incurred:
    • Assess the harm suffered and damage incurred, whether it’s physical, financial, emotional, or reputational. Keep careful records of relevant events, including doctor’s visits, receipts, etc. Keeping good records and understanding the extent of the damages helps you get fair value of your injuries and harm and can determine the appropriate legal remedies to seek.
  4. Consider Which People, Business, or Entities May Be Responsible (in Part or wholly):
    • Evaluate the individuals, business, or entities that may be directly or indirectly involved in the matter, including any obvious opposing parties, their agents, employees or supporters or any other potential third parties. Articulate how and why they caused or contributed to the harm suffered. Try to understand their roles, interests, strengths, weaknesses, and legal positions. This analysis helps develop effective negotiation or litigation strategies.
  5. Consider the Sources of law or authority that have been mentioned or that you have considered:
    • To the extent that yo can, conduct a thorough review of the relevant statutes, regulations, precedents, and legal doctrines applicable to the case. This step helps you have a understanding of the principles and arguments in the matter.
  6. Communicate with Attorneys, Specialists, and Experts:
    • Engage with attorneys, specialists, expert witnesses, such as medical professionals, forensic experts, or industry specialists, to obtain their opinions and analysis. Their expertise can provide valuable insights and strengthen the matter.
