Our firm prides itself in being “green” and we strive to be as paperless a law firm as possible. In addition to scanning all of the documents that we generate, we also receive all of our faxes as email attachments thereby eliminating the need to print. When producing larger documents to other attorneys, we put those files on CD in a pdf format. In the past three years, our firm has saved tens of thousands of pieces of paper from being printed and, consequently, we’ve significantly reduced the need for storage. The legal profession is heading in the “paperless” direction and we believe that our firm has taken a strong step forward in protecting the environment and readying itself for the future of litigation.

Bodily injury may not become apparent for days or weeks after an accident.  For this reason, even if it is uncertain whether a personal injury claim may ultimately exist, we suggest that accident victims keep a diary or log of their pain and/or other symptoms in the days and weeks following the incident.  In litigation, it is not uncommon for a defendant to make the claim that “the victim must not have been injured because he/she did not immediately seek treatment for their pain.”  Having a diary/log helps to document the progression of the pain/injury is a useful tool that will assist in overcoming this defense.
