MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENTS
Automobile, Motorcycle, Trucking, & Ride-Share Injuries.
Car accident cases come down to two simple things: 1. Getting the medical attention you need to get back to normal; 2. Money – getting a big money settlement or trial win to compensate you for your loss.
Our team knows the medical experts that can help heal you after any car accident. It doesn’t matter if you were involved in a minor fender bender, or a major catastrophic injury. You need to develop the medical record and evidence to support your cases.
When the time comes to settle or resolve your case, our team has the knowledge and expertise to fight the insurance companies. Remember, that insurance companies are not your friend, no matter how nice their adjusters and attorneys may be to you. You need someone to fight on your side to get the compensation you are owed.
Riding motorcycles is a lifestyle. We know that, and we treat you like family, so that you can get back to your riding family. When it comes to your wellness and/or your money, don’t let the insurance company get in the driver’s seat.
Insurance companies have quotas, and they need to close cases fast. This means that they will do anything to get rid of your case, even if they have to deny your claim, or underpay you for the value of your case. Our team of professionals know how to deal with the insurance companies and their lawyers so you don’t have to.
Truck accidents are unique cases because they usually have dedicated insurance companies with special adjusters who only work these types of cases. Their job is to pay out as little as possible, period. Don’t ever assume that the adjuster is working in your interest, no matter how nice they sound, or how helpful they seem to be. They are trained to trick ordinary people into accepting less than what they deserve.
If you’ve been in an accident, whether driving a truck, or have been hit by one, you need to call a lawyer to go over your options. We’ve seen countless cases where the insurance company’s ‘investigation’ has led to the case being denied or undervalued. Don’t take their word for it.
Keep in mind that in trucking accidents, there may be several defendants, not just the driver. It may include the trucking company, or some third party, that may have a share of the liability too. We find out who is liable and go after them to compensate you accordingly. Don’t settle for less.
If you’ve been involved in an accident while using a rideshare service like Uber or Lyft, you need immediate representation. The reason is that ride share companies have insurance policies for their drivers with different limits. Depending on when the accident occurred, such as, if the Uber driver was not working a trip, versus, actively working a trip with passengers in the car, can affect the maximum policy limits.
Our attorneys are aware of these policy limits depending on the stage of the ride and can tap into this information to maximize your payouts.
Seek Medical Attention – Even if you think there is nothing wrong with you, many injuries take days or even weeks to start showing signs. Start the medical process right away!
Collect Information – Get as much information as you possibly can, and make sure you collect it all in writing so that you don’t forget later. Capture any photos of the scene, and gather license plate numbers, driver’s names, precise location, witness names and contact information.
