What to do with Incoming Documents

The Missouri attorneys at PageCagle are fortunate in that many lawyers across the United States refer personal injury cases to them. Often times the files from referring attorneys are in shambles. Police reports mixed with medical records which are mixed with pleadings, etc. Below is a very simple format PageCagle follows to maintain consistent excellence in their dog bite file organization.

The dog bite lawyers at PageCagle open case files using a Bindertek binder. Bindertek binders hold much more material than other binders of the same size. The Missouri dog bite files are divided into the following sections:

• Dog Bite Correspondence (all letters, faxes, and emails that are sent and received);
• Dog Bite Notes (police reports, statements, tax returns, and everything else that does not have a place in another section -- but each item is tabbed);
• Dog Bite Medical Records;
• Dog Bite Medical Bills;
• Dog Bite Pleadings (number them 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.....newest on top);
• (Place a cover sheet in the front of the pleading section so you can handwrite the name of the pleading with the corresponding number for easy identification)
• Dog Bite Liens (update every few months.)

Obviously, this is a rough outline of where to file documents in A newly opened dog bite file. Every file is started the same way but each file expands differently. As a personal injury dog bite case grows and more material comes in, more binders are added.

If you know a Missouri dog bite case is going to be document intensive, it is best to add additional binders from the start. Typically in that situation, the attorneys at PageCagle will start a separate binder for each of the 6 categories listed above.
