How LOAR builds serious cases.
Tell us what happened — takes 30 seconds
Your name, the best number to reach you, and a sentence about the incident. A LOAR case manager reviews every submission personally. No attorney fee unless a recovery is obtained.
Submitting this form does not create an attorney-client relationship.
A serious case rarely turns on one document or one witness. LOAR’s attorneys identify what must be proved, preserve evidence before it disappears, test competing explanations, and bring in the right experts — then integrate the work into a coherent, trial-ready case.
The right questions. The right evidence. The right team.
A serious injury or loss creates urgent, high-stakes questions against defendants and insurers with significant resources. LOAR begins by identifying what must be proved, what evidence may disappear, which explanations must be tested, and which disciplines can help answer the disputed questions. Our attorneys direct the strategy and bring in qualified investigators, engineers, medical specialists, financial professionals, and other experts when their work can clarify what happened and how the injury will affect the client’s life.
Evidence is preserved early and analyzed carefully.
Depending on the facts, the case may require different kinds of evidence — obtained lawfully, preserved properly, and analyzed within the applicable legal and ethical rules. LOAR’s attorneys decide what to pursue and why.
Scene and occurrence evidence
Scene documentation, photographs, video, measurements, witness development, surveillance, records requests, inspections, and preservation protocols.
Phone and device evidence
Lawfully obtained mobile-device data, call and message records, application or location data, metadata, and forensic analysis when relevant and permitted.
Vehicle and event data
Event data recorders, airbag control modules, vehicle downloads, telematics, GPS, infotainment data, dash cameras, and electronic vehicle records.
Commercial trucking evidence
ELD and hours-of-service records, ECM data, driver qualification and training, dispatch and route information, fleet safety policies, inspection and maintenance records, and load information.
Mechanical and equipment failure
Brakes, steering, tires, pumps, valves, guards, sensors, controls, maintenance, component wear, product design, installation, service history, and failure modes.
Medical and human impact
Medical causation, diagnostic imaging, prognosis, future treatment, rehabilitation, functional loss, psychological impact, life-care planning, and economic damage.
Corporate and financial proof
Policies, training, audits, prior incidents, staffing, ownership and control, insurance layers, lost earnings, business loss, and future economic impact.
Presentation and testing
Timelines, demonstratives, modeling, reconstruction, human-factors analysis, testing, animation, exhibits, and trial technology when reliable and appropriate.
Qualified specialists — directed by attorney judgment.
Experts do not replace attorney judgment. LOAR’s attorneys define the legal questions, select the disciplines that may help, provide the relevant evidence, test assumptions, challenge unsupported conclusions, and integrate the work into a coherent case. The objective is credible proof — not a collection of disconnected reports. Depending on the matter, the team may work with:
- Investigators and evidence-preservation professionals
- Accident reconstructionists and human-factors specialists
- Digital-forensics and mobile-device professionals
- Vehicle-data, EDR/ECM, ELD, telematics, and trucking-safety professionals
- Mechanical, automotive, industrial, electrical, civil, safety, and product engineers
- Physicians, surgeons, radiologists, neurologists, neuropsychologists, and rehabilitation professionals
- Life-care planners, vocational rehabilitation professionals, economists, and forensic accountants
- Demonstrative, visualization, animation, and trial-technology professionals
What the injury means for the client’s life.
Building the liability case is only part of the work. LOAR also develops evidence of what the injury means for the client’s health, independence, work, family, and future. Depending on the matter, the team may work with treating physicians, medical specialists, rehabilitation professionals, life-care planners, vocational experts, economists, and other qualified professionals to evaluate future needs and communicate the full human and financial impact.
Technology in service of people and proof.
Technology is not a substitute for attorneys, relationships, or judgment. LOAR uses modern systems to communicate clearly, organize complex records, preserve deadlines, collaborate across the legal and expert team, analyze evidence, and present the case in a way insurers, judges, and juries can understand. The purpose is simple: reduce friction for the client and increase the quality of the legal work.
LOAR advances the cost of building the case.
Serious cases can require significant investment. Depending on the matter, LOAR may retain investigators, engineers, physicians, reconstruction specialists, digital-forensics professionals, life-care planners, economists, and other qualified experts. The firm may also fund inspections, testing, data analysis, depositions, court costs, exhibits, and trial technology. LOAR advances approved case expenses so the client is not required to finance the litigation as it progresses.
How fees and case expenses work
If no recovery is obtained, LOAR absorbs those expenses — the client owes LOAR no attorney fee and does not reimburse LOAR for the case expenses it advanced. If compensation is recovered, LOAR’s attorney fee is calculated first, and the approved case expenses advanced by the firm are then reimbursed from the proceeds under the written engagement agreement. LOAR’s case expenses are separate from the client’s medical bills, treatment costs, insurance liens, subrogation claims, lost income, and other personal obligations, which remain the client’s responsibility.

Present wherever the case requires.
A client’s home, the incident location, the treating providers, the referral source, the responsible parties, and the courthouse may all be in different places. LOAR has attorneys and staff in multiple geographies and serves clients without forcing the case into a storefront model. We meet in person when the client prefers it or the work requires it, and we travel to investigate evidence, take depositions, attend mediations, appear in court, and try cases.
This page describes how LOAR may approach serious cases. Every case is different, and the evidence, experts, and steps that matter depend on the facts. Using technology or retaining an expert does not guarantee a recovery. Nothing on this page creates an attorney-client relationship or is a promise about the outcome of any matter.
