How a Car Accident Lawyer Can Help
When you are injured in a car accident, you will need to deal with insurance companies that aren’t always willing to offer the compensation you need to cover your bills. They may offer a low initial settlement, hoping you take it, and then they can close your case for a bargain.
Or, they may contact you and seem concerned about your health when what they are really doing is looking for something to use against you to deny your claim. It is a lot to deal with when you are injured and just want to start putting your life back together.
When you hire our Kent car accident attorneys, you will have an ally looking out for your best interests who knows how to deal with insurance companies. While every case is unique, some of the ways we may be able to help include:
Comprehensive Case Management
Peace of mind is one of the greatest benefits of hiring an attorney. We will handle the legal issues so you can focus on healing. We can deal with the insurance companies, ensure your claim is filed correctly, and make sure you meet important deadlines.
Affordable Legal Services
Our personal injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, meaning we don’t get paid until we win your case. Then, we deduct our fees and expenses from your final compensation amount. This makes quality legal services available to almost anyone.
Accident Investigation
Our lawyers will analyze your accident to find out what happened. We will interview witnesses, review evidence, and, if possible, access security video. The goal is to establish who is liable and formulate a strategy for your claim.
Compensation Assessment
We aren’t going to let an insurance company tell us what your injuries are worth. We’ll calculate your damages and arrive at a maximum compensation amount that covers your damages. We use this number for your claim and to negotiate a fair settlement.
Settlement Negotiations
We will interact with insurance companies on your behalf and negotiate for a settlement that can make a difference in your life. Ideally, this is all it will take to close your case and get you the money you need to recover.
Civil Representation
Settling your case through negotiation is usually the easiest solution for all parties. But if the insurance company insists on doing things the hard way, we aren’t going to back down from a fight. We can file a civil suit on your behalf and represent you in court.
Peace of Mind
Peace of mind is perhaps the greatest benefit of hiring a personal injury lawyer after a car accident. You don’t have to take on the insurance companies alone. When you are injured, you will have a partner who deals with the tough issues.
Damages in a Car Accident
Your car accident claim could be worth thousands of dollars, hundreds of thousands of dollars, or even more. It depends on the extent of your damages.
To calculate your compensation, your car accident lawyer in Kent will consider economic damages such as:
- Ambulance transportation and emergency room care after the accident
- Your medical expenses due to the accident, such as doctor visits, medications, and procedures
- Future medical costs like surgeries and ongoing physical therapy
- Lost wages for your time when you are unable to go to work
- Property damage, such as the cost to repair your damaged car
In some cases, your attorney may include non–economic damages such as pain and suffering, mental anguish, and emotional distress.
Liable Parties in a Car Accident
Your car accident lawyer in Kent will investigate your accident and determine who is liable for your injuries. Your attorney will have a lot to unravel in determining who caused your accident and injuries.
If the reckless, negligent, or illegal behavior of another driver caused the accident, there is a good chance they’ll be held liable. However, your attorney’s investigation may reveal other or additional parties responsible for your injuries, such as:
- The vehicle owner, if they knowingly allowed an unlicensed or unqualified driver to operate their vehicle
- An employer, if you were in an accident with a company vehicle used in the course of work-related duties
- The local government, if the accident happened due to badly maintained roads
- The vehicle manufacturer, if a problem with the vehicle such as a component failure or poor design caused the accident
- A third driver, if they contributed to the accident, even if they didn’t hit you
- Pedestrians if they were jaywalking or engaging in behavior that caused the collision
