A sudden car crash in Ewing can turn life upside down. Medical bills arrive quickly, vehicles need repairs, and insurance companies start calling. You do not have to navigate this alone. The Law Office of Edward Appel helps people in Ewing and across Mercer County understand their rights, organize evidence, and seek fair compensation under New Jersey law. From collisions on I‑295 and Route 31 to neighborhood fender-benders, we work to protect your claim from the start. Our team coordinates with medical providers, communicates with insurers, and focuses on the details that move a case forward. If you were injured in a crash, reach out to discuss your options and next steps.
New Jersey’s insurance rules can be confusing, especially after a crash. Terms like PIP, lawsuit threshold, and comparative negligence influence what you can recover and when. Our firm provides straightforward guidance tailored to Ewing residents. We investigate what happened, identify all available insurance coverage, and develop a strategy to document both immediate and long-term losses. Whether your injuries are new or symptoms developed days later, timely care and careful documentation are essential. We encourage you to ask questions early, before statements are recorded or forms are signed. A focused plan now can help protect your rights and preserve the value of your claim throughout the process.
Auto accident claims often hinge on details discovered in the first days after a collision. Skid marks fade, vehicles get repaired, and memories change. Having a legal team step in early helps preserve crucial evidence, coordinate medical records, and avoid common mistakes in insurance communications. We clarify coverage, evaluate liability, and build a record that reflects the full impact of the crash on your health, work, and daily life. This support can reduce stress, prevent missed deadlines, and create leverage for settlement negotiations. In short, the right guidance helps you focus on healing while your claim is handled with care and attention to the facts.
The Law Office of Edward Appel is a New Jersey practice serving Ewing and nearby communities. Our work includes Personal Injury, Criminal Defense, and DUI matters, with a dedicated focus on helping crash victims pursue compensation for medical costs, wage loss, and pain and suffering where allowed by law. We are committed to responsive communication, clear explanations, and practical strategies. From negotiating with insurers to filing suit in Mercer County when appropriate, we handle the steps needed to advance your case. Every client receives personal attention, honest feedback, and tailored guidance designed to fit their situation and goals during a challenging time.
Insurance companies move quickly, which is why timing matters. Reporting the crash promptly, seeking medical care, and preserving records can make a meaningful difference. We help clients separate necessary paperwork from requests that could limit recovery. We also evaluate how state laws on comparative negligence may impact your case if fault is disputed. In collisions around Ewing, we often review traffic patterns, local intersections, and vehicle damage to understand how and why the crash occurred. With that foundation, we outline your options, explain potential timelines, and build a strategy aimed at recovering what you need to move forward with confidence and stability.
An auto accident claim seeks compensation for losses caused by another driver’s negligence. Typical categories include medical expenses, lost wages, out-of-pocket costs, vehicle repairs or total loss value, and, where permitted, pain and suffering. New Jersey’s system adds important layers: your PIP benefits may pay initial medical bills, your lawsuit threshold may limit when you can claim non-economic damages, and comparative negligence can reduce recovery if you share fault. We examine your policy elections, the crash facts, and medical findings to determine what categories apply. With accurate documentation and timely action, your claim can reflect the true scope of your injuries and financial impact.
A well-prepared claim blends facts, law, and clear documentation. We gather police reports, 911 audio when available, photographs, and witness statements. Medical records and provider opinions help connect injuries to the crash and support the treatment plan. We track billing, health insurance liens, and PIP explanations of benefits, then analyze liability using traffic statutes, signage, and vehicle damage patterns. With that foundation, we present a demand to the appropriate insurer, negotiate based on evidence, and evaluate offers in light of future care needs and wage considerations. If negotiations stall, we discuss litigation, court procedures in Mercer County, and the costs and benefits of filing suit.
Understanding common terms makes the process clearer and reduces surprises. Personal Injury Protection is a no-fault medical benefit under your own policy. Comparative negligence can reduce recovery if multiple drivers share responsibility. The statute of limitations sets the window for filing a lawsuit. Uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage can help when the at-fault driver lacks adequate insurance. Each term ties directly to strategy, from choosing providers to sequencing claims and negotiating with adjusters. We explain how these concepts apply to your policy and your crash so you can make informed decisions about treatment, documentation, and whether to settle or proceed to court.
Personal Injury Protection is a no-fault coverage under New Jersey auto policies that typically pays medical expenses for crash-related treatment, regardless of who caused the collision. PIP may also include benefits for lost wages, essential services, and funeral costs depending on your selections. Your policy sets limits and may designate the health insurance primary option, which can change which insurer pays first. Timely notices, provider authorizations, and following recommended care are important for coverage. We help clients understand how their PIP elections affect the flow of bills, coordinate approvals, and avoid gaps in documentation that can slow down payments and treatment.
Comparative negligence is the rule that allocates fault among drivers and can reduce an injured person’s recovery based on their share of responsibility. In New Jersey, if you are more at fault than the other party, you may be barred from recovering from that driver. When liability is disputed, evidence like surveillance, vehicle damage patterns, traffic signals, and witness accounts becomes vital. We evaluate each factor and work to counter unsupported assertions about fault. A careful investigation can clarify what really happened and preserve your ability to pursue damages. Understanding this doctrine helps set expectations for negotiations and potential outcomes.
The statute of limitations is the deadline to file a lawsuit. In many New Jersey personal injury cases, you generally have two years from the date of the crash to file, though certain claims or defendants may have shorter notice requirements. Missing the deadline can permanently end your case, no matter how strong the facts are. We monitor key dates, including PIP submission windows, preservation letters, and litigation timelines. Early evaluation helps ensure necessary parties are identified and claims are filed on time. If you think a deadline is approaching, contact an attorney promptly to discuss your options and preserve your rights.
UM/UIM coverage is part of many New Jersey auto policies and can protect you when the at-fault driver has no insurance or not enough coverage to pay your losses. These benefits often follow the injured person and may apply to passengers or household members under certain conditions. The claim process can be technical and may include arbitration or litigation against your own insurer. We review policy language, stack available coverages when permitted, and coordinate UM/UIM claims alongside liability and PIP benefits. Proper sequencing and documentation can improve outcomes and help ensure you access every dollar available under your insurance.
Some Ewing crashes involve minor injuries and straightforward property damage, while others require deeper investigation and litigation readiness. Handling a claim yourself may work when injuries resolve quickly and fault is undisputed. Limited assistance can help with paperwork or negotiating a single issue. Full representation is often appropriate when injuries are significant, liability is unclear, or multiple insurance policies are involved. We explain the pros and cons of each path, expected timelines, and common pitfalls. Whatever you choose, we encourage timely medical care and careful recordkeeping. If your situation changes, we can adjust the approach to match your needs and goals.
When a collision causes only vehicle damage and no injuries, a limited approach may be sensible. You may focus on getting your car repaired, securing a rental, and recovering diminished value if applicable. We can offer guidance on communicating with adjusters, sharing estimates, and documenting prior condition to avoid unnecessary disputes. Even in these cases, it helps to keep photos, repair invoices, and any communications in one place. If bodily symptoms appear later, notify your insurer and a medical provider immediately, since delayed pain is not unusual. Starting organized can save time and money while keeping future options open.
If you suffered minor soft-tissue injuries that resolve with brief conservative care, a limited approach could be appropriate. The focus is on documented treatment, short-term wage loss, and out-of-pocket costs. Accurate medical records and consistent follow-up are essential to avoid disputes over causation. We can help assemble bills, verify PIP payments, and submit a clear summary to the insurer. If symptoms worsen, imaging reveals more serious issues, or care extends beyond expectations, we can expand the strategy accordingly. Beginning with a modest plan does not prevent you from seeking additional help if the medical picture or liability issues change.
Fractures, head injuries, nerve damage, and conditions requiring ongoing therapy often call for a comprehensive approach. These cases benefit from early specialist referrals, detailed medical narratives, and a projection of future care needs. We coordinate with treating providers to align documentation with your diagnosis and functional limitations. We also evaluate wage loss, reduced earning capacity, and life impacts on family responsibilities and activities. A thorough strategy ensures that settlement negotiations consider both current and anticipated expenses. If the insurer minimizes the claim, we prepare for litigation and consult appropriate experts to help demonstrate the nature and extent of your injuries.
Multi-vehicle collisions, commercial trucks, rideshares, or crashes involving alleged comparative fault often require deeper investigation. We analyze traffic camera footage when available, vehicle data, and scene dynamics to understand responsibility. Coverage may exist under several policies, including commercial and excess layers. Coordinating claims across carriers demands consistent documentation and careful communications. We also preserve evidence with letters to adverse parties and, if needed, consult accident reconstruction professionals. When fault is debated, early action helps prevent critical evidence from disappearing and positions your claim for meaningful negotiation or litigation. Our goal is to present a clear, persuasive account of how the crash occurred.
A thorough approach brings structure to a chaotic situation. By organizing medical records, tracking expenses, and preserving evidence, we create a full picture of your losses. This organization also supports accurate claim valuation and avoids missed categories, such as future therapy, medical devices, transportation costs, or household help. When the documentation is strong, negotiations focus on facts rather than speculation. We keep you informed about milestones, potential settlement ranges, and litigation considerations, so you remain in control of decisions. The result is a claim that reflects your real needs and is ready for negotiation or, if necessary, court.
Comprehensive planning also helps reduce stress. Knowing what to expect at each stage—investigation, medical documentation, demands, negotiation, and possible suit—brings clarity. If a settlement offer arrives, we review it against your current and anticipated costs to avoid shortfalls. If talks stall, your file is already prepared for litigation with the key records, timelines, and exhibits assembled. This readiness can create leverage and shorten delays. Most importantly, a well-documented case lets you focus on healing while we address the legal and insurance issues, keeping your claim aligned with your recovery and long-term well-being.
Accurate records are the foundation of any claim. We work to collect complete medical files, imaging, treatment notes, and billing, then connect those records to specific injuries and limitations. This organized file helps support wage loss, future care needs, and non-economic damages when permitted by law. We also include photographs, witness statements, and repair documents to establish the severity of the crash. By presenting a consistent, fact-driven narrative, we reduce room for doubt and highlight why the insurer should pay a fair amount. A strong documentary base guides negotiation strategy and informs settlement decisions at every stage.
Thorough preparation creates leverage. When the other side sees a well-supported demand with clear liability analysis and comprehensive damages, the conversation changes. We communicate your claim with timelines, medical summaries, and proof of losses, then evaluate offers against realistic outcomes. If a fair settlement is not offered, we are prepared to file in Mercer County and move through discovery, depositions, and, if necessary, trial. Being ready to litigate encourages meaningful dialogue and reduces delays. Throughout, we advise you on risks and benefits so decisions align with your goals, budget, and the evidence available in your case.
Even if you feel okay, get a medical evaluation as soon as possible. Adrenaline can mask symptoms, and some injuries appear days later. Early care protects your health and creates a record linking your symptoms to the crash, which can be essential for insurance. Describe all pain, dizziness, numbness, or stiffness, even if mild. Follow treatment plans and keep appointments. Save receipts for prescriptions, braces, and transportation to visits. Consistency helps insurers understand the full impact. If you need referrals or have trouble scheduling, we can help coordinate providers so your recovery and documentation stay on track.
Report the crash to your insurer promptly, but be cautious about recorded statements to the other driver’s insurer before you understand your injuries. Provide accurate facts without speculation. Do not downplay pain or guess about speed, distances, or fault. Review medical bills and explanations of benefits for errors. Before signing broad authorizations or releases, ask how they will be used and whether limitations are appropriate. We can communicate with adjusters on your behalf and help ensure the information shared supports your claim. Thoughtful communication avoids unnecessary disputes and protects the integrity of your case from the outset.
If you are hurt, missing work, or facing pushback from an insurer, legal help can level the playing field. We analyze coverage options, coordinate medical documentation, and handle negotiations while you focus on recovery. Our experience with Ewing roadways, traffic patterns, and Mercer County procedures helps us anticipate issues and move your claim forward. Whether your case involves a rear-end collision, intersection crash, pedestrian impact, or rideshare vehicle, we tailor the approach to the facts. Early guidance can protect evidence, prevent missteps, and frame your claim for fair consideration by the insurance company or a court.
Some claims seem simple at first but grow more complex as symptoms evolve or new bills arrive. If liability is disputed, injuries persist, or multiple policies may apply, the right strategy becomes even more important. We provide candid assessments, explain timelines, and discuss settlement expectations based on documentation. If an offer undervalues your losses, we outline litigation options and potential next steps in Mercer County. Our goal is to give you clarity and confidence, reduce stress, and pursue the compensation allowed by law. A conversation today can help you avoid costly delays and protect your future.
We regularly see collisions on I‑295 ramps, Route 31 corridors, and busy intersections near Olden Avenue. Rear-end impacts, side-impact crashes, and left-turn accidents make up many local cases. Pedestrian and bicycle incidents near crosswalks and school zones raise unique questions about visibility and right-of-way. Rideshare and delivery vehicles add layers of insurance coverage that must be coordinated. Each scenario requires tailored evidence collection and timely medical documentation. We focus on the facts that matter: how the crash occurred, what injuries resulted, and which insurance policies are available. With a clear plan, your claim can advance efficiently and effectively.
Stop-and-go traffic and merging lanes can lead to rear-end crashes with whiplash, back strain, and head injuries. Even moderate impacts can cause symptoms that intensify over days. We gather photographs, repair estimates, and medical records, then analyze whether the following driver maintained a safe distance. If comparative negligence is alleged, we examine braking data, weather, and roadway conditions. Medical documentation remains key, including imaging and consistent treatment notes. With a thorough file, we present a demand reflecting pain, therapy costs, and any limitations on work or daily activities, and negotiate for a fair resolution based on evidence.
Collisions involving pedestrians or cyclists often involve disputes over crossing signals, visibility, and lane positioning. We work to secure camera footage, witness statements, and scene measurements to understand how the event unfolded. Injuries can be severe, requiring immediate and ongoing care. We coordinate PIP benefits where applicable, explore liability policies, and evaluate UM/UIM options if the driver is uninsured or unidentified. Documentation of mobility limitations and daily life impacts helps reflect the full scope of loss. Our goal is to build a clear, fact-driven presentation that supports meaningful negotiations or, if needed, litigation in Mercer County.
Claims involving rideshare or delivery vehicles may trigger different coverage tiers depending on whether the app was on, the driver was waiting for a request, or a ride was in progress. We identify all potentially applicable policies and coordinate claims across carriers. Evidence such as trip logs, telematics, and dispatch records can be important. We also work to connect medical findings to the crash and track related expenses. Clear communication and consistent documentation help avoid gaps that insurers might use to minimize payment. With multiple parties involved, organization and timing are essential to pursue all available recovery.

If settlement talks stall, we are prepared to file suit and pursue your claim through Mercer County courts. Throughout, we discuss risks and options so decisions reflect your goals and the facts. This disciplined process helps create leverage and positions your case for a strong outcome, whether through negotiation or litigation.
Communication is central to our service. You will receive regular updates, prompt responses to questions, and clear explanations without legal jargon. We align our efforts with your medical team to ensure your care and your claim move together. Billing, liens, and insurance coordination are handled proactively so surprises are minimized. When settlement offers arrive, we walk through the numbers and implications, including future care and potential tax considerations, to help you make informed choices. Our goal is straightforward: protect your rights, present your story clearly, and pursue the compensation you deserve under New Jersey law.
We follow a structured process designed to protect evidence, coordinate care, and advance your claim efficiently. First, we investigate the crash, gather records, and map out liability. Next, we document medical treatment, expenses, and wage loss while managing PIP and other insurance claims. Finally, we prepare a detailed demand and negotiate; if needed, we file suit in Mercer County and litigate with a clear plan. At each step, we explain options, timelines, and potential outcomes so you remain in control. Our approach aims to reduce stress while building a strong, fact-driven claim for settlement or trial.
Early investigation shapes the rest of the case. We collect police reports, photographs, videos, and witness statements, then evaluate traffic laws and roadway conditions. Vehicle damage and medical records help connect the mechanics of the crash to your injuries. We send preservation letters where needed, request available camera footage, and obtain 911 audio or dispatch data when possible. This foundation supports liability arguments and counters disputes. By organizing the evidence from day one, we create a clear timeline and narrative that informs claim valuation and puts you in a stronger position when negotiations begin.
We start by listening to your story and identifying the facts that matter most. Together we review insurance information, medical needs, and immediate concerns like transportation and time off work. We outline responsibilities, set communication preferences, and build a timeline for the claim. If specialists or diagnostics are recommended, we help coordinate appointments. This early planning prevents gaps in treatment and documentation and ensures we gather the right records. With a strategy in place, you can focus on recovery while we move forward with targeted requests and a roadmap for negotiation or litigation.
We obtain the police crash report, photographs, and any available camera footage, then examine vehicle damage and airbag deployment data if accessible. We compare these materials with your medical presentation and provider notes to understand forces involved and injury mechanisms. When helpful, we consult with reconstruction or medical professionals to strengthen the narrative. Documenting weather, lighting, signage, and road design can clarify driver behavior and right-of-way at the time of the crash. The result is a fact-based account ready to support your demand and withstand scrutiny during negotiations or, if necessary, in court.
As treatment progresses, we track medical records, bills, and recommendations to reflect the full scope of injury. We coordinate PIP benefits, address health insurance liens, and evaluate wage loss and out-of-pocket costs. When appropriate, we assemble a detailed demand package summarizing liability and damages with supporting exhibits. We communicate with adjusters to facilitate benefits and pursue settlement discussions. If questions arise about causation or necessity of care, we respond with documentation and provider input. By staying organized and proactive, we maintain momentum and position your claim for a fair and timely resolution.
We help ensure your treatment plan is documented and your records are complete. That includes imaging, therapy notes, prescriptions, and physician narratives addressing causation and prognosis. We track expenses and mileage, confirm billing accuracy, and monitor PIP explanations of benefits. We also collect employment records to document missed time and any restrictions. With your permission, we communicate with providers to clarify recommendations and timelines. Comprehensive documentation not only supports settlement but also prepares your case for litigation if negotiations do not produce a fair offer.
When the file is ready, we present a demand that clearly explains liability, medical findings, and financial losses. We respond to adjuster questions with evidence, not speculation, and push for timely evaluations. We analyze offers against expected outcomes, considering future care and potential risks of litigation. You remain part of every decision, with clear explanations of pros and cons. If the insurer’s numbers do not reflect the facts, we prepare suit and discuss next steps, including filing in Mercer County and anticipated discovery. Our goal is to secure fair compensation while managing time and costs.
Most cases settle, but we prepare as if trial could occur. If settlement is viable, we finalize releases, address liens, and guide disbursement. If not, we file suit and manage pleadings, discovery, depositions, and motion practice. We continue to evaluate settlement opportunities as evidence develops. Throughout, we keep you informed and ready for each milestone. Whether resolved through negotiation, mediation, arbitration, or trial, the objective stays the same: present a clear, well-documented case that supports the compensation you deserve under New Jersey law and helps you move forward after the crash.
We craft a demand package that ties together liability, medical evidence, and financial losses, accompanied by records, photographs, and summaries. We discuss settlement ranges grounded in documentation and similar outcomes. When offers arrive, we evaluate them against current and projected needs, including future treatment and wage considerations. If acceptable, we finalize terms, confirm lien resolutions, and move quickly to closing. If not, we recalibrate strategy, gather any missing proof, and consider mediation or filing suit. Transparency in this stage ensures decisions are informed and aligned with your priorities.
If negotiations fail, we file suit and proceed with discovery, depositions, and motion practice in Mercer County. We prepare you for each step, including testimony and medical examinations. We refine evidence with expert input where appropriate and continue to evaluate settlement opportunities. Our courtroom approach remains grounded in the same facts developed from day one, presented clearly and persuasively. Even as litigation advances, we stay open to resolution that fairly compensates your losses. The aim is a result that reflects the evidence and allows you to turn the page with confidence.
Start by checking for injuries and calling 911. Move to safety if possible and exchange information with the other driver. Photograph vehicle positions, damage, road conditions, and any visible injuries. Ask for contact details from witnesses and request the police report number. Even if symptoms are mild, seek a medical evaluation promptly to document your condition. Notify your insurer of the crash, but avoid speculating about fault at the scene. Save all paperwork, bills, and correspondence in one place. Before discussing injuries or fault with the other driver’s insurer, consider speaking with an attorney. We can help you report the claim, coordinate PIP benefits, and protect your rights. Early guidance reduces the risk of damaging statements, missed deadlines, or lost evidence. If your vehicle is towed, note the location and avoid repairs until damages are documented. A focused plan in the first days can make a significant difference in the outcome of your case.
Many New Jersey personal injury lawsuits must be filed within two years of the crash date, but there are important exceptions and notice requirements that can shorten deadlines. Property damage claims may follow different timelines. Claims against public entities involve strict notices that must be filed promptly. Because deadlines vary, delaying can jeopardize your rights. We recommend contacting an attorney as soon as possible to evaluate your specific timeline. In addition to litigation deadlines, insurance policies impose shorter periods for PIP applications, medical authorizations, and proof of loss. We track these dates, preserve evidence, and ensure necessary claims are submitted timely. If the statute is approaching, we discuss filing options and next steps to safeguard your case.
If the at-fault driver is uninsured or flees the scene, your Uninsured Motorist coverage may apply. This benefit, found on many New Jersey policies, can compensate for injuries when the other driver lacks insurance or cannot be identified. Prompt reporting to police and your insurer is essential, and medical documentation remains critical. We also explore potential third-party coverage, such as a vehicle owner’s policy or household policies that may apply. Hit-and-run and uninsured claims can involve technical requirements, including strict notice provisions and arbitration. We help organize evidence, obtain records, and coordinate communications with your insurer. If a witness or camera footage exists, we move quickly to secure it. Our goal is to access all available coverage and present a strong, well-documented claim on your behalf.
Yes, you may still recover if you were partly at fault, so long as your share of responsibility does not exceed the other party’s under New Jersey law. Your compensation may be reduced by your percentage of fault. Because insurers often argue comparative negligence, careful investigation of the crash scene, vehicle damage, and witness accounts is vital. We work to clarify the facts and counter unsupported assumptions. By gathering photographs, analyzing traffic controls, and aligning medical evidence with the mechanism of injury, we present a balanced view of what happened. This evidence-driven approach helps in negotiations and, if needed, in court. We will discuss how comparative negligence may impact your case value and strategy so you can make informed decisions.
In New Jersey, your ability to claim pain and suffering often depends on your policy’s lawsuit threshold selection and the nature of your injuries. Those with the limited right to sue generally need to meet certain injury criteria to seek non-economic damages. If you selected the unlimited option, your rights may be broader. Regardless, careful documentation of symptoms, treatment, and functional limitations strengthens the claim. We help present daily life impacts with medical narratives and, where appropriate, supporting statements describing activities you can no longer perform comfortably. We also consider long-term effects, such as ongoing pain, sleep disruption, and reduced enjoyment of activities. By connecting these harms to medical findings and the crash, we support a fair evaluation of non-economic damages where allowed by law.
Be cautious. You must promptly report the crash to your insurer, but giving a recorded statement to the other driver’s insurer before understanding your injuries can harm your claim. Adjusters may ask leading questions or seek broad authorizations. Provide accurate facts without guessing about speeds, distances, or medical diagnoses. We can handle communications for you, ensuring the information shared is complete and consistent with medical records. Before signing releases, we discuss scope and limits. This approach helps prevent misunderstandings, protects your privacy, and keeps your claim focused on documented evidence rather than speculation.
Case value depends on many factors: liability, injury severity, treatment length, prognosis, wage loss, out-of-pocket expenses, and the availability of insurance coverage. Your policy choices, including lawsuit threshold and UM/UIM limits, also matter. Early, thorough documentation is essential to demonstrate the full impact of the crash on your health and finances. We provide a candid evaluation once key records are collected. We compare offers to the evidence, consider future care needs, and discuss risks and timing. While no outcome is guaranteed, a strong, organized claim creates leverage and often improves results. We will walk you through realistic ranges and help you decide whether to settle or litigate.
Most cases settle without trial, often after medical treatment stabilizes and a demand package is submitted. Settlement depends on clear liability and well-documented damages. If the insurer disputes fault or minimizes injuries, additional negotiation or alternative dispute resolution may be helpful. If a fair agreement cannot be reached, we may recommend filing suit in Mercer County. Litigation involves discovery, depositions, and court deadlines. Even after filing, many cases resolve before trial as evidence develops. We will outline the process, anticipated timelines, and potential costs so you can make informed choices at each step.
We offer contingency fee arrangements for injury cases, meaning legal fees are typically paid as a percentage of the recovery. You do not pay an hourly fee upfront for our services. Costs for records, filing, and experts are discussed at the outset and handled transparently. If there is no recovery, you generally do not owe a legal fee under a contingency agreement. We will review the fee agreement with you in plain language before representation begins. Our goal is to ensure you understand how fees and costs work, what services are included, and how disbursements are handled at the end of the case. If you have questions, we are happy to discuss options.
