WHY DO CAR ACCIDENTS HAPPEN?
The most common reason for car accidents is careless or reckless drivers. Alcohol use, cellular telephones, texting, radios, and eating all contribute to distracting drivers from driving safely. A single moment of distraction can change lives forever. Just one bad decision can destroy a family. If you have been injured or a loved one killed in a car wreck, our Law Firm will investigate your claim to determine who is responsible and will work hard to obtain compensation for that loss.
RESEARCHING YOUR CAR ACCIDENT CASE
If you have been in a car accident, you probably have a lot of questions, such as:
Do I need a lawyer or can I handle this on my own?
What should I tell my insurance adjuster?
Should I talk to the responsible party’s insurance adjuster?
What if the responsible party doesn’t have insurance?
What is my car accident case worth?
In order to ensure that the negligent party pays a fair amount for crash-related injuries and damages, we will investigate your case, preserve evidence, collect and analyze medical records and retain experts, if necessary. Our car accident attorneys have experience in helping those who have suffered from severe injuries as a result of car accidents recover medical costs, lost income and compensation for the pain they and their family experienced.
If you feel that you or a family member has been injured or killed in a car wreck caused by the negligence of another, call our Law Firm immediately for a free consultation.
SOMETHING TO KEEP IN MIND ABOUT INSURANCE COMPANIES
When you make a claim with the responsible party’s insurance company, you will likely talk to someone who is very friendly and who says they want the best for you. Keep in mind though that the only goal of that insurance adjuster is to make sure you get as little money as possible for your claim. So, if you have been injured in an accident and you are talking to the insurance company of the responsible party, keep these things in mind:
The insurance adjuster is NOT your friend.
The insurance adjuster will try to get you to say something that will hurt your claim against their insured.
The insurance adjuster’s job is to keep as much money as possible in his employer’s bank account – and as little as possible in your bank account.
The insurance adjuster does not want you to hire an attorney.
HIRING AN ATTORNEY HELPS YOU!
Keep in mind that you may not need a lawyer for your specific case. In smaller injury cases, you may very well be better off negotiating with an insurance company on your own. You may end up with a smaller settlement amount, but when you factor in attorneys fees and expenses, you may come out ahead.
For larger cases that tend to have more serious injuries, attorneys can be very helpful. Insurance companies know that claimants with attorneys generally are awarded more money than those without attorneys. In fact, the Insurance Research Council study concluded that injury claimants who hired an attorney received settlements three and a half times better than they would have if they had attempted to negotiate the claim on their own!
