After a car accident, things get chaotic and confusing right away and it’s hard to think clearly about your legal options or what to do next. Emergency room visits, arranging for a tow, coordinating a rental car, making calls to your insurance adjuster and missing work all make the trauma of dealing with injuries and recovery worse. During this difficult time having a lawyer who knows the law protects your rights and makes sure insurance companies treat you fairly.
Our process for handling car accident cases starts with a thorough investigation and preservation of evidence that will help you throughout the claims process. When we can we go to the scene of the accident, talk to witnesses who saw the crash, get police reports and any traffic camera footage that is available and work with accident reconstruction experts when we need to do a detailed technical analysis. This preparation gives you the best chance of getting good results in negotiations or court.
Insurance adjusters often call accident victims within hours of the crash to get a quick settlement before the victims or their doctors fully understand how bad their injuries are. These early settlement offers almost never show the real value of the claim and don’t take into account ongoing medical needs, future treatment needs or long term effects that may not show up right away. We protect our clients from these tricks by handling all insurance communications professionally.
