When it comes to auto accidents, the law requires drivers to be reasonably careful. This means that motorists must be careful when they encounter anyone that they meet on the road, whether it is pedestrians, passengers, or other cars or trucks. This is called the duty of reasonable care.

It is imperative that you consult us when there are extenuating circumstances that could make your claim worth more. One example of such a situation is if you are a caregiver and can no longer take care of your loved one after your accident.

You should bring any accident settlement offer to a trained traffic accident attorney. If a lawyer for the other driver gives you an offer and says if you do not sign in a short period of time the offer will be revoked, don’t panic. Bring the offer to your attorney, who will determine if it is fair and complete or not.

The Insurance Research Council compared auto accidents involving similar injuries. In all cases, the victims represented by an attorney were offered significantly higher settlements than accident victims without a lawyer.

It's important to consult us for advice about what to do in the event of a wreck. If the other driver was at fault, do not sign any checks or documents. Instead, let us examine any documents so that you don't sign away important rights.

Did you know that information compiled by Allstate and published in a manual for company insurance adjusters indicates that when an attorney is involved, an injury settlement averages about $7,450? Without an attorney, the average is only $3,464.

One of the most necessary times to hire an accident attorney is if the party at fault does not have auto insurance, since we can help you understand your available options.
