You never thought a car accident could change your life in ways you never thought possible. When we represent clients who have been through these terrible situations, we see firsthand how bad the impact can be on the victims and their family. We at Longo Lawyers are here to help victims of car accidents deal with the complicated legal process while they focus on getting better.
After a car accident everything seems strange and unclear for a while. Victims go into shock and can’t think straight about their legal rights and options. Meanwhile insurance companies start their investigation almost immediately and may even call victims while they are still getting medical treatment. Insurance companies take advantage of this time to get an unfair advantage.
Over the years we have worked on many cases involving car accidents. Every case teaches us something new about how these events affect people’s lives in different ways. Some clients have obvious injuries, broken bones or cuts, while others have problems that get worse over time. Whiplash, traumatic brain injuries and psychological trauma can make it hard to do everyday things for a long time after the accident.
Insurance companies act like they care about you and want to help you. But their main duty is to their shareholders not the people who were hurt in the accident. They use sneaky methods to lower the value of claims or even deny them altogether. We know these tricks because we’ve seen them many times in our work. We can protect our clients from being taken advantage of because we know this.
The costs of a car accident go beyond just the medical bills and repairs that need to be done right away. Families that rely on a steady income can struggle when they lose wages. Some injuries require ongoing care, rehabilitation or adaptive equipment that can add up to thousands of dollars over time. We make sure all of these costs are factored in when we determine what is a reasonable amount of money.
Determining who is at fault in a car accident can often be a complicated process that requires experts in the field. We work with accident reconstruction experts, doctors and other professionals to build strong claims for our clients. These relationships help us show proof of liability and back up our claims for compensation. After a car accident many people are worried about how much it will cost to hire a lawyer. We work on a “contingency fee” basis which means our clients don’t pay anything until we win their claims and get them money. This way we eliminate financial barriers and everyone can get good legal help no matter how much money they have right now.
People who have never dealt with personal injury lawsuits before may find the legal process scary. We guide our clients through every stage of the process, break it down in simple terms and keep them updated on the progress of their case. We also handle all interactions with insurance companies so things are less stressful and clients don’t say something that could hurt their claims by accident.
There are time limits to file claims after a car accident so you need to act fast to protect your rights. Things can happen that make evidence disappear, witnesses move and memories fade over time. We urge anyone who have been in an accident to contact us as soon as possible so we can start building their cases while important information is still available.
We don’t just handle car accidents; we also handle other types of personal injury claims, slip and fall cases to make sure we can help you with any type of harm. This broad range of knowledge helps us understand personal injury law and gets us better results.
