Get Expert Legal Assistance For Your Personal Injury Case

A personal injury case is a situation where a person has been injured due to the negligence or carelessness of somebody else. Such situations can include auto accidents, dog bites, slip and fall injuries, or product liability.


Rely on the Law Office of Brian D. Kelm for expert legal services for your personal injury case. I will thoroughly study and examine your case and suggest the best possible legal course of action. Each case has its own set of circumstances and demands careful attention to all details so that there are no loopholes in the defense.

The Settlement of Your Case Depends on These Factors

  • First, there is the fact gathering phase. Once treatment is finished, I request a final set of medical records and bills to make sure I have not missed anything. 


  • Cases are typically not settled until the main treating physician releases you from his/her care. This may be months or over a year, depending on how serious your injuries are. 


  • The nature of your injury may affect the length of your claim (i.e. scars need to mature and heal and sometimes need revision, waiting for a doctor's final narrative report could take several months, serious injuries take longer to heal and are sometimes followed up with therapy, etc.)


  • The response time to my requests from medical providers vary. Some are quick to respond and others are not. I do my best to push the process along though. 


  • If your case does not settle, I may arbitrate, mediate, or file a complaint through the court system (rare). These options will be discussed with you as your case progresses. If you arbitrate or mediate, your case could be settled within 2 to 4 months of choosing that route. If you pursue your case through the court system, it could take a year (or more) before your case goes to court. Sometimes your auto insurance carrier or the defendant's carrier requires that you mediate or arbitrate before pushing it through the court system.



  • Sometimes it will be necessary for you to personally provide me with information. Every effort you make to get this information to me in a timely manner helps move your case forward. During your personal injury claim, we need to work as a team, and there will be times when we need to keep in constant communication with each other.

I Will Take Care of the Entire Legal Procedure of Your Personal Injury Case

  • Collection of documentary evidence including police accident reports, medical records, bills
  • Analysis of your insurance policy and coverage
  • Interview of known witnesses
  • Collection of other evidences, such as photographs of the accident scene
  • Discussion with your medical providers and obtain written reports to understand and explain your condition(s)
  • Analysis of your health insurance policy and welfare benefit plan
