Have you been injured in a car accident that was due to the reckless or negligent actions of another driver, person, entity, or business? The team at the Law Office of Beverly R. Caruthers wants to help you hold the at-fault driver accountable and take legal action before the statute of limitations runs up on your case.
We work with car crash victims to help them go against predatory insurance adjusters when filing a claim. Our team knows what it takes to prove fault for the accident that has left you injured. Many car accident cases end up being more complex than they seem. Taking on an insurance claim on your own may result in you getting less money than you deserve.
Our team does not just go after compensation to pay for your property damage and medical bills, we look at the big picture. We go after auto insurance companies to ensure you are being compensated for lost wages, pain and suffering, loss of consortium, opportunities you missed while injured, property damage, medical care, and long term aid that you may need as a result of your injury.
Why You May Need To Hire a Car Accident Lawyer
Unfortunately, car accidents are everyday occurrences. Most personal injury claims in the United States are a result of an accident involving a car, truck, or other motor vehicle. Many of these accidents result in minor vehicle damage in the form of a “fender bender,” and can generally be handled alone through direct contact with an insurance company. However, car accidents that involve physical injury, fatality, or other significant damage may require legal representation with an experienced attorney.
An experienced lawyer can help you get compensation to cover any losses incurred due to the accident, such as medical expenses, lost wages, and car repairs. In some states, a car accident lawyer may help you recover when a loved one is killed, especially if reckless driving, speeding, or drunk driving was involved.
What to Look For When Hiring a Car Accident Attorney
Auto accident attorneys cover a range of issues stemming from personal injury, wrongful death, and property damage. When looking for a lawyer, you should concentrate on their experience, skill level, commitment, location, and fee structure.
For example, your attorney should be well versed in state and national transportation laws, know how to deal with insurance and health care companies, and know how to effectively prepare and settle a case. It’s also important that you check the attorney’s background, references, and track record.
A good personal injury lawyer will typically accept your case on a contingency or “no win-no fee” basis if the attorney feels your case has any merit, so it’s important to check the attorney’s standard fee structure.
When To Hire a Car Accident Lawyer
It is best to hire an attorney early to avoid any costly mistakes. The deadline for filing personal injury claims varies from state to state. Because you may need to pay for medical bills and/or cover lost wages, the sooner you contact an attorney, the better. In general, a person should contact an attorney shortly after the accident occurs — but before reaching a settlement with the insurance company.
Questions To Ask an Attorney
Before working with a lawyer, you should have as much detailed information and facts about the car accident and any injuries or financial losses as possible. Documents you might want to show your attorney after a motor vehicle accident may include your insurance policy, any police report you have, information exchanged at the accident scene, and medical records, among other things.
Below are some of the questions you should ask before hiring a car accident lawyer:
- What percentage of your practice is devoted to car accident cases?
- What experience do you have with the specific type of injury in question?
- What is a typical settlement range for cases similar to mine? (However, this can be a very difficult question to answer until you have completed treatment and know the full extent of your injuries.)
- How much of my car accident case will you actually handle?
- How are your fees structured?
- What out-of-pocket expenses am I responsible for?
