Car Accidents

For simple fender benders you probably won’t need a lawyer, unless somebody receives a serious injury. Sometimes substantial back, neck, and spinal injuries can result even from a simple jolt.

For more major accidents, your car could be seriously damaged or totaled. You may be at fault, in which case you and/or your insurance will have to pay for both your damage and the other guy’s damage.

In most accidents, multiple cars are involved. You can be responsible for all of it.

But you have insurance. Why worry about it?

Many discount insurance policies actually provide far less accident coverage than consumers think. The monetary amount you can receive may be severely limited. And even when you are clearly due a certain level of payment, you may have to get a lawyer to force the insurance company to actually pay the full amount.

Even well funded policies from major insurance carriers can have these problems. And although you have great insurance, the guy who hits you may have poor insurance or none at all. He may do major damage to you, your car, and your family, yet has no ability to pay, even when the court orders him to.

You may miss work for months, have long lasting disabilities, and be put in a desperate financial situation due to mounting expenses and reduced or non-existent income.

All of these complexities are best handled by an experience car accident lawyer with lots of experience handling accident cases in your state. He or she can help you get the money you need from insurance and other parties. In most cases you will get more money and receive it far sooner
