Americans are injured every year by the negligence of another and thousands more are killed. The survivors are often left to deal with various forms of injury, including permanent disabilities such as brain damage and spinal cord injuries. Finding the right auto accident attorney to represent you is a very important decision. Some accidents have clear liability, such as rear end accidents. Other accidents may be harder to prove. That is when it is important to choose an attorney that has the experience and knowledge needed to fight for you.

For example, car accidents derived from some form of negligence on behalf of one, or multiple drivers is often the culprit in the majority of all car accidents. However, it is possible for more than one driver to share liability for causing an accident. No matter what caused your accident, your injuries are your biggest concern. Our attorneys are well experienced and have helped recover large settlements for our clients.

A car accident victim may be entitled to compensatory damages for:

• Lost wages
• Medical bills
• Emotional distress
• Loss of consortium
• Pain and suffering
• Loss of earning capacity

You have a right to monetary compensation for any injuries caused by someone else in a car accident. If someone injures you through their own careless acts, they owe you monetary compensation for those injuries. Remember, you also have this right, even if you are a passenger injured in an accident. That means if someone rear-ends your car, and you are hurt because of that collision, they must pay you a sum equal to the number of injuries they inflicted upon you. Cases where you are not injured or your injuries are very minor, can often be handled on their own. If the insurance company does not want to pay a fair amount for a settlement, these smaller cases can be handled through the Small Claims Court.

While you might not need a lawyer for your case, you should always contact one immediately after an accident. You don’t have to hire an auto accident lawyer right away, but it is immensely helpful to talk to a legal expert. Some advice is needed right away, especially when the third parties (your and other driver’s insurance companies) are pressuring you to give a recorded statement and settle quickly. A brief phone call with an attorney will lead you in the right direction, and we do not charge any fees for initial conversation and case review.
