Asset Checks for Personal Injury Attorneys in Car Accident Cases

Asset Checks for Personal Injury Attorneys that handle Car Accidents
When?
+Before the police report hasn’t been issued and you want to identify and profile the responsible parties due to the severity of the injuries that your client has sustained. Driver, Owner, Adverse parties
+When the accident that caused the loss is not covered by insurance.
+Before you file the lawsuit
+When you don’t believe the Asset Declaration provided by the adverse party is accurate.
+When the damages expected far exceed the insurance policy
+After you get a settlement offer from the insurance company
+Before you accept the settlement offer.
Why?
+What are your duties as an attorney to verify assets?
+Is Malpractice a concern? My research shows that a failure by an attorney to inform a client of their right to search for and pursue other assets could lead to potential malpractice exposure. An asset investigation should be, at the very least, offered to the client and if the client refuses then the attorney has still performed their due diligence.
+Should you take the settlement offer?
+Are there assets beyond policy limits?
+Avoid possible malpractice
