How an Attorney Can Help After an Accident

In the aftermath of a serious crash with injuries or death, it is paramount that claimants understand their rights and pursue their claims promptly. Fortunately, our experienced personal injury lawyers can help you in numerous ways, including:

  • We work on contingency: We understand you have enough on your shoulders after a major accident, dealing with physical, emotional, and financial hardship. That is why our firm works on a contingency fee basis. This means you do not have to pay any upfront costs for representation. We offer this not only because it enables far more people to have access to our expertise, but also because it helps people put their finances where they are needed most. We are only paid from the settlement funds we obtain for you, meaning you will never owe our firm any money out-of-pocket for our work.
  • Investigation of your claim: After a severe collision, it is vital that all evidence be documented and leads followed up on. Our staff and team of investigators know what evidence needs to be preserved after every kind of accident, which is why it is important that you don’t delay if you have a claim. The longer it has been since an accident, the harder it will be to obtain the evidence necessary to prove your claim.
  • Just Compensation: Our attorneys know how to craft the best demand letters in order to maximize the value of your claim. We handle all negotiations and keep you informed throughout the process.
  • Paperwork: We handle all filings with insurance carriers and the court on your claim to ensure all deadlines are met so your claim can proceed without issue.
