3. Go Through The Information Gathering Process
After the insurance company has finished its investigation, your lawyer will begin the process of gathering evidence to support your claim. This is called the information gathering process and may involve obtaining police reports, medical records, and witness statements.

Once the information gathering process is complete, your lawyer will attempt to negotiate a settlement with the insurance company. If an agreement can't be reached, your lawyer will prepare your case for trial.
