Physical Injury.
A Previous Decline.
A Second Look

Start With What Happened

An injury can arise from a collision, a fall, an unsafe property condition, medical or nursing-home care, a product, violence on property, or another event. Families may also ask about a death they believe resulted from another person’s or organization’s conduct.

You do not need to choose a legal theory before contacting us. Describe the physical harm, where and when it happened, and what you know about the earlier review.

Was the Concern About Medical Care?

A medical-malpractice review raises specific questions about the care, its connection to the injury, records, and state requirements. Read what to know after a medical-malpractice case is declined.

What Makes This a Second-Review Inquiry?

• You or someone you are authorized to contact us for suffered physical harm.
• Another attorney declined the inquiry before agreeing to represent you.
• You want another assessment of the available facts.

If Your Situation Is Different

If a lawyer currently represents you, a lawyer withdrew, an insurer denied a claim, a court dismissed a case, or you signed a settlement or release, say so. Those situations can involve different legal questions. For an active lawsuit, appeal, or approaching deadline, seek advice promptly from a lawyer who can assess the relevant dates and proceedings.

For a dispute without physical injury, a local bar referral service or legal-aid organization may help identify a more appropriate resource.

You Do Not Need a Complete File to Begin

A short summary is enough for an initial inquiry. Keep original materials, but do not send medical records or sensitive documents through the public form. Do not wait to seek advice about a deadline while assembling records.
