How a Car Accident Case Works

Even if you suffered a serious injury after your car accident, receiving compensation won’t be automatic. Instead, you will need to take action to pursue a fair financial recovery. The car accident litigation process is complicated, and while no two cases are exactly alike, most tend to follow these basic steps:

The injured party gathers evidence and other essential information at the scene of the accident. The victim’s attorney presents the gathered evidence to the insurance company or defendant’s legal counsel for evaluation. This usually includes your medical records, your account of the accident, a journal detailing the ways your injuries affect your day-to-day life, and an acceptable settlement amount. The insurance company or opposing legal counsel evaluates your claim and contacts your lawyer to begin negotiations. The involved parties negotiate back and forth until an agreement is reached. If parties cannot reach an agreement, the case may proceed to trial.

Regardless of whether your case settles or goes to trial, the benefits of working with an experienced personal injury attorney can't be overstated. Not only can a knowledgeable and seasoned attorney help ensure you receive a fair settlement offer, but your lawyer can also guide you through each step of the trial process and increase your likelihood of success.

Insurance companies are often quick to offer a less-than-fair settlement, especially when they know you are not represented by an attorney who has a strong track record in court. As experienced car accident lawyers, we advocate for your rights and do not back down to ruthless insurance companies.

As our client, you will work directly with an attorney who will take the time to provide you with answers about the legal process. We will also clearly explain what is happening in your case and the legal options available to you at every stage.
