After being injured you are dealing with physical pain and emotional stress that can be overwhelming. You have doctors’ appointments; you are missing work time and, if your injury was the result of a motor vehicle accident, your car is damaged. Attorney Shute is an experienced personal injury attorney and is ready to work for you. What is the process?

How Does My Personal Injury Lawyer Get Me Paid?

1. Attorney Shute welcomes your call to hear how you were injured. He will answer your questions and concerns and address the steps necessary to move forward on your case.
Call 413-592-0999 to speak directly with Attorney Shute.

2. To insure a strong case for you, whether you are injured in a car accident, a slip and fall, dog bite or any other injury, it is important to go over all the details of how your injury occurred, analyze evidence and determine who was at fault for your being injured. With an auto accident, there is also a personal injury benefits application that will need to be completed to get your medical bills paid and to submit lost wages.

3. After you have treated for your injuries, all the evidence that proves your harm is assembled and a “demand package” is prepared which explains the details of how you were injured, the extent of your personal harm and the reasons why you deserve compensation. The demand is sent by Attorney Shute to the insurer of the defendant or negligent party whether a person or business.

4. When a settlement offer is made by the insurance company of the negligent party or defendant, Attorney Shute will discuss the details of the offer with you. Responding to the settlement offer is part of the negotiation for fair compensation for your injuries.

5. After negotiating your claim, you can decide whether you are satisfied with the offer and want to settle your case. If not, the next step is discussing the particulars of filing a lawsuit.

6. If the decision is made to file a lawsuit, the next phase is preparing for a lawsuit. Attorney Shute will be in contact with you throughout the process to explain the details. Documents are filed with the Court; both sides exchange documents and witness testimony in a process known as “discovery.” Atty. Shute and the defense lawyers conduct Depositions where both parties and their witnesses have to answer questions in person and under oath.

7. Attorney Shute and the defense lawyers present evidence in court including witness’ testimony and documentary exhibits. The jury or judge decides whether the defendant and the plaintiff were negligent.

If it is determined that the defendant was negligent, the jury or judge also determines the amount of compensation for your harm.

Call the Injury Law Office of Robert W. Shute Now, days, evenings and weekends for your Free Consultation with Atty. Shute personally. 413-592-0999 or 413-437-7788

I was hit by a hit and run vehicle as pedestrian. I went through the motions as instructed by the proper people. Hiring an attorney was not something I had realized I needed to do. After being in the Dr's office overwhelmed by the paperwork and pain someone said, your Attorney will do that for you. So I went on a hunt. If you are looking for an Attorney who you can actually talk to on the phone, Attorney Shute is your guy. He was always very professional and he explained everything in a way I always understood. He is patient, a good listener and aware of my injuries making me comfortable. I don't hesitate to tell people he's a great choice. And oh yes, we won my case.

Attorney Shute helped me through a difficult legal process after I was injured in an auto accident. Although the case was complex, he carefully, methodically and patiently advised me over all the hurdles that were placed in our path. Even the smallest accidents can be traumatic and legal nightmares. Attorney Shute traveled to my home to meet with me while I was injured and so traumatized I was unable to drive. He is smart, capable, and accessible. I recommend him very highly to anyone in need of expert personal injury advice.
