John C., one of our lawyers, has recently posted an interesting case result about the all too common situation of a client whose car was hit from behind. Sometimes getting fair compensation for a car accident victim requires filing the lawsuit and doing the extra work as a lawyer to be in touch with the treating doctors to get them to explain the medicine. Also, when negotiating with automobile insurers you have to know what proof you are going to need to convince them on even the problematic parts of your case, like prior accidents and pre-existing medical conditions.
