• Request and organize medical records, bills, liens, and wage-loss documentation, and keep damages calculations up to date
• Coordinate with process servers, experts, medical providers, lienholders, and insurance representatives
• Keep clients informed on scheduling and document needs, and escalate legal questions to the attorney
