If it's not fair Call The Bear

Since 1984, Conybeare Injury and Accident Lawyers has represented clients in personal injury, workplace injury, and medical negligence cases. Our firm has obtained multiple verdicts exceeding one million dollars and settlements totaling more than $250 million dollars across all practice areas. Each outcome is based on documented evidence collected and verified before negotiation begins.

• Case Evaluation: When your personal injury lawyer meets with you during your free case review, they will examine any accident reports and ask you for witness information, medical release forms, employment verification, and any correspondence from insurers. They will explain what additional documents are required and when they must be submitted to meet filing deadlines.
• Record Collection: We obtain police or incident reports, witness statements, and available photographs quickly after being hired. We also request security footage or workplace logs before the material is deleted. These records establish the timeline and confirm liability.
• Accident Investigation: Our personal injury attorneys contact witnesses for written statements and gather supplemental records such as medical imaging, hospital billing summaries, and wage records. 
• Insurance Communication: Our firm notifies each insurance carrier. We identify coverage limits from the policy declarations and confirm adjuster contact information in writing. All correspondence is stored in the claim file and time-stamped.
• Case Valuation: We total medical charges, lost wages, and repair invoices. When future expenses are expected, we obtain estimates from qualified experts. These values determine the initial demand letter sent to the insurer.
• Negotiation: We submit a written demand supported by itemized losses. When an insurer responds, we record the offer, compare it to documented expenses, and calculate the shortfall. If we cannot negotiate a fair settlement, we file suit.
• Litigation: When a case proceeds to court, our personal injury attorneys file the complaint, prepare exhibits, and schedule depositions. We enter all court deadlines into a shared tracking system. Our trial lawyers handle each appearance including pretrial conferences and hearings.

How Much Does It Cost to Hire a Personal Injury Lawyer?

Conybeare Injury and Accident Lawyers operates on a contingency fee basis. You pay no upfront costs and no hourly rate. The firm receives an agreed percentage of the settlement or verdict after recovery is made. If no compensation is obtained, you owe no attorney fees. Out-of-pocket case expenses (such as record requests, expert fees, or court filings) are documented, itemized, and deducted from the final payment once funds are received. You receive a written accounting statement showing every transaction.

How Will You Receive Updates About Your Case?

Clients receive updates through emails, phone calls or in-person or Zoom meetings. Each update is intended to give the client an understanding of where we are in the claims process, answer any client questions, and to gather updated information from our client. Our firm keeps a dated record of all communications, which is stored in your file. If new deadlines or settlement offers arise, you’re notified immediately with a written summary for review and approval.

What Happens If Your Medical Treatment Isn’t Finished?

Your attorney tracks your medical treatment through your updates, as well as provider and billing records. Settlement discussions normally begin only after you have reached maximum medical improvement, meaning your condition has stabilized. If treatment is ongoing, the firm works with you and your providers to understand those future needs and how they will be paid for. This ensures compensation accounts for future expenses, not just completed care.

Can You Recover Lost Wages If You’re Self-Employed?

Yes. You’ll need to provide tax returns, invoices, or bank statements showing average earnings before the injury. The personal injury lawyer reviews this information with a financial professional when necessary to calculate the value of lost work time and reduced capacity. These calculations are included in your demand and supported with written documentation so the insurer can’t dispute income loss without contrary records.

How Is a Settlement Paid Once It’s Approved?

After all parties sign the settlement agreement, the insurer issues payment directly to the firm’s trust account. The firm deposits the funds, confirms clearance, and pays verified liens such as medical expenses or reimbursement to health insurers. Attorney fees and case expenses are deducted, and the remaining balance is released to you by check or direct deposit. You receive a closing statement listing every payment and deduction.
