Personal Injury Q + A

Q. I was in an auto accident. Can any lawyer help with my insurance claim?

A. Though lawyers can handle different kinds of cases, after a car accident, it's usually best if your claim is handled by lawyers experienced in personal injury claims, such as our office. Accident claims are complex, and a lawyer's training, skills, experience and resources can pay off for you in the form of a higher financial recovery. Personal injury lawyers who have successfully handled many accident cases are often the best equipped to handle complicated issues, tough negotiations with insurance companies and, when necessary, trial of your case.

Q. How do I know how much to settle my accident for?

A. This is a crucial question, since after your claim is settled, you usually cannot get any more money. Your lawyer can be especially helpful with this question, since lawyers know the different types of damages you can receive after an accident. They also know what courts have awarded for accidents and injuries like yours, and can evaluate the strength of your case. By considering these and other factors, your lawyers can help estimate the value of your claim. You can then evaluate if a settlement is fair.
