The process all depends on at what point you seek representation. You may still be hospitalized. You may be somewhere where insurance companies — and maybe even other lawyers — are calling you while you are in the hospital, saying “we are sorry, we are sorry,” and trying to get you to accept something that maybe you should not, when you are not even in the right state of mind to process it.
