Car Accident Attorney

If you were involved in a motor vehicle collision that was caused by the negligent, reckless actions of another driver, you may be entitled to compensation for your pain and suffering, past and future medical bills, lost wages, and other damages. At Avaness Law, our car accident attorneys will fight for your right to fair compensation, taking the insurance company head-on and helping you recover the settlement you deserve, for an accident that was not your fault.

Do I Need to Hire a Car Accident Lawyer?

You are not required to hire legal representation after an automobile accident, but doing so can increase your chances of recovering a settlement that can cover the cost of your past and future medical care, lost wages, property damage, and other losses. For a simple accident, such as a minor fender bender involving minimal property damage and no injuries, you may be able to handle the claim on your own. Complex accident claims involving injuries and significant property damage can require the assistance of an experienced car crash attorney.

If you’re dealing with the following issues, hiring a car wreck lawyer to represent you can be invaluable:

You were injured
There are multiple parties involved
Liability is disputed
Your insurance claim was denied
The insurance company is refusing to make a fair settlement offer
Your vehicle was severely damaged or totaled

How Can a Car Accident Attorney Help Me with My Claim?

A car accident lawyer at Avaness Law can help during this challenging time in a number of ways:

Investigating the Accident and Gathering Evidence

Investigating the accident will allow your attorney to gather evidence that can prove liability and your demand for compensation.

Evidence can include:

The police report
Witness testimony
Expert testimony
Phone records
Photos of your injuries and vehicle damage
Photos of the accident scene
Dashcam footage, traffic camera footage, surveillance video footage
Medical records
Pay stub
Medical bills
Vehicle repair estimates

Taking On the Insurance Company

Your attorney will file a claim and handle all communication with the insurance company. This includes settlement negotiations. An insurance company will make an initial settlement offer, which will not be nearly enough to cover the total cost of your accident-related damages. A car accident lawyer is familiar with the tactics and tricks insurance companies try to use to minimize payout or deny a claim. At Avaness Law, our attorneys will not back down until the insurance company makes a fair settlement offer.

Filing a Lawsuit

If settlement negotiations are not successful, your car crash attorney may recommend filing a lawsuit. As they prepare your case for trial, they will continue negotiating with the insurance company. If negotiations are at a standstill, your attorney will be prepared to present your case before a judge and jury.
