Our Strategy
Prior to and after filing a lawsuit, the personal injury lawyers at Eagan & Donohue thoroughly investigate the personal injury claims, they obtain information relating to culpable parties, the list of all injuries, and, ultimately, case value. Our staff meets to discuss the merits of the case with the client. All information is then used to determine the fair value of a matter. We also analyze the facts of other similar cases to identify trends and issues resulting in favorable and unfavorable verdicts. Our research allows us to either present a case to the jury from a position of strength or engage in serious pre-trial settlement discussions. The personal injury lawyers at Eagan & Donohue handle cases in both state and federal court.
The personal injury lawyers at Eagan & Donohue often attempt to obtain fair value for a case prior to filing a lawsuit. A settlement may occur just months after an initial consultation or could take a number or years. If appropriate, we recommend and participate in early Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) such as mediation and/or arbitration, to facilitate settlement. If a choice is made not to settle, we will file suit and prepare for a jury trial to obtain the best possible result for our clients.
The personal injury lawyers at Eagan & Donohue also investigate the various insurance policies covering individuals. If the person responsible for the accident does not have adequate insurance, an injured party may be able to collect under their own insurance policy, the policy of a relative they reside with, or even insurance from both divorced parents living apart from one another. These claims result from contractual obligations in the company’s Under Insured Motorists/Uninsured Motorists (UIM) provisions in the policy.
