Boyd & Jenerette recognizes that many claims and lawsuits do not require lengthy or complex litigation. A claim often does not settle pre-suit because of the lack of cooperation from a claimant and the carrier is therefore unable to complete its evaluation without the power of a subpoena to obtain prior medical records.[spacer height=”-15px”]

The Fast Track team at Boyd & Jenerette was created to handle these cases, and clients may request that a case be assigned Fast Track status. The types of cases that are appropriate for this team include the following:[spacer height=”-15px”]

• Anticipated timeline for case resolution is 60-120 days[spacer height=”-15px”]
• Bodily injury or property damage claims are non-complex[spacer height=”-15px”]
• Damages and potential exposure are less than $100,000[spacer height=”-15px”]
• Disputes are reasonably expected to resolve prior to trial[spacer height=”-15px”]
• Routine discovery using standard forms[spacer height=”-15px”]

In managing these cases, initial discovery is served immediately after the filing of the lawsuit, even if a Motion to Dismiss is pending. This means that if a Plaintiff files a Proposal for Settlement at the earliest date permitted under the rules of civil procedure, we and carrier will have already obtained medical or wage related documents so that the Proposal for Settlement may be evaluated.[spacer height=”-15px”]
