Anyone can get into a car accident at any time and turn an ordinary day into a nightmare of medical bills, insurance claims and legal problems. When these things happen in Hamilton, victims feel like they have too much to deal with when trying to get money for their injuries and damages. Longo Lawyers knows how car accidents affect people and families in our community in terms of their health, emotions and finances.
There are many problems that come up after a car accident that go beyond the initial impact. Victims have to deal with serious injuries that require a lot of medical care, rehabilitation and time off work. Meanwhile insurance companies start their own investigations and often push accident victims to accept quick settlements that don’t always cover all of their losses. This makes things even harder for people who are hurt because they have to deal with complicated legal and insurance processes while trying to heal.
When you file a claim for a car accident you need a lawyer because insurance companies hire teams of experienced adjusters and lawyers whose main job is to keep payouts as low as possible. These experts know the law inside and out and use different strategies to lower settlement amounts or even deny claims altogether. Without good legal advice accident victims are at a big disadvantage when trying to negotiate with these well funded groups.
There are many areas of law that come into play in car accident cases and they all require special knowledge and experience. The law of personal injury covers damages from the crash like medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering and other costs. Traffic laws decide who is at fault and who is responsible while insurance laws decide what coverage is required and how to file a claim. We know a lot about these areas of law and use that knowledge to build strong cases for our clients.
Collecting evidence is very important for winning a car accident claim and time is very important for preserving important information. Police reports, witness statements, medical records and pictures of the accident scene all help prove who was at fault and how bad the damage was. We move quickly to collect and preserve this evidence before it disappears or becomes hard to find. We also talk to experts in accident reconstruction and medicine to make our clients’ cases stronger.Car accidents have more financial impact than just the immediate cost of medical care and fixing the car. Many victims have long term effects that make it harder for them to work and enjoy life. After an accident you may have chronic pain, permanent disabilities or psychological trauma that lasts for years. We look at both current and future damages to make sure settlement talks or court awards cover all of our clients’ losses.
Hamilton drivers have to deal with problems on local roads and highways that make accidents more likely. When there’s a lot of traffic, construction or bad weather accidents are more likely to happen. Knowing these local factors helps us build stronger cases and anticipate what the other side will say in their defence. Knowing how local courts, judges and the law work also helps us when we go to court.
People who have been in accidents don’t expect the tactics insurance companies use to surprise them when they are at their most vulnerable. These companies will take their time to process claims, ask for paperwork that’s not needed or make lowball settlement offers in the hopes that desperate victims will accept less than what they deserve. We keep our clients safe from these kinds of tricks and make sure insurance companies do what they say they will do under the terms of their policies.
We work together to come up with the best legal strategy for accident victims who also have other types of injury claims like those that need a Slip and Fall Lawyer.
