You’ve Signed With Auger Hollingsworth—Now What?

First, thank you for trusting Auger Hollingsworth with your case.

We know that making the decision to hire a personal injury lawyer isn’t easy. Whether you were hurt in a car crash, a fall, or your disability claim has been denied, you’re likely dealing with pain, uncertainty, and stress. Signing with a lawyer can feel like a big step—but now that you’ve taken it, we want you to know what happens next.

This article explains what you can expect after you sign with our firm, who will be helping you, and how we’ll support you from start to finish.

Meet Your Dedicated Legal Team

At Auger Hollingsworth, you’re not just hiring a lawyer—you’re hiring a team.

Shortly after you sign your retainer, you’ll be introduced to the professionals who will manage your file. That includes:

• A lawyer, responsible for setting strategy, managing negotiations, and representing you in litigation if necessary.
• A licensed paralegal or law clerk, who will be your primary point of contact for day-to-day matters. These team members are highly trained professionals with years of experience handling accident benefits, document collection, and procedural steps.
• Our client care team, who checks in with you regularly to ensure your questions are answered and your recovery is progressing.

Everyone on your team plays a key role in making sure your file moves forward and that you’re supported at every step.

We Start Building Your Case Immediately

Once your file is opened, we begin the process of collecting the information and evidence that will support your claim. That includes:

• Requesting medical records and treatment notes
• Reviewing accident or incident reports
• Identifying witnesses
• Communicating with your healthcare providers
• Coordinating access to accident benefits or long-term disability forms

Your law clerk or licensed paralegal may contact you to confirm information or gather details about how the injury has affected your life, work, and family.

Communication Is Key—And We Prioritize It

One of the most common complaints people have about lawyers is that they don’t hear from them. That’s not how we work.

You’ll receive regular updates from your legal team, and we encourage you to reach out anytime you have questions. Whether it’s a quick call or a detailed update, you’ll always know what’s happening with your case.

You May Not Hear From Us Every Day—But That’s a Good Thing

While we keep you informed, there will be quiet periods during your case, especially early on while your medical condition stabilizes. That’s because we’re waiting for your recovery to progress, which is necessary to properly assess your long-term needs and damages.

We will never rush a settlement just to move your case along. Our goal is not fast—it’s fair.

Your Focus Is Healing—Ours Is Everything Else

From this point forward, you don’t have to face the legal process alone. We’ll manage the insurance company, track down the records, and deal with the paperwork so you can focus on what really matters: getting better.

Welcome to Auger Hollingsworth. You’re in good hands—and we’ll be with you every step of the way.
