Frequently Asked Questions

How much compensation can I recover for my auto accident claim?

The amount that your auto accident claim is worth will vary depending on quite a few different factors. It is impossible to say what your claim may be worth without a careful evaluation of your injuries, past medical bills, projected future medical expenses, affect the injuries will have on your life and ability to work, and much more. Fortunately, an experienced personal injury lawyer can look over your claim to determine what it should be worth - and then pursue that amount on your behalf. 

The other driver's insurance company is saying the accident was my fault. What should I do?

It is important that you do not discuss the circumstances of your accident with the other driver's insurance company. Of course, they are looking to see whether they should pay for your injuries, or whether you can be held liable and therefore eliminate their liability to pay for their client's actions. They may ask you questions and may attempt to have you admit that the accident was your fault. Before you talk to the other driver's insurance company, be sure that you talk to a lawyer about your case. If you retain an attorney, they can handle all communication with the insurance company on your behalf and therefore help you avoid hurting your chances of making a full financial recovery.
