Nationwide Injury Lawyers for Car Wreck Victims

We Protect You From Powerful Insurance Companies

The insurance companies have lawyers. Why wouldn’t you? 

Some people assume that they can deal directly with the insurance companies themselves and don’t need to get a lawyer involved. But remember, an insurance adjuster’s job is to protect the interest of the insurance company, and they do this by paying you as little as possible or even nothing at all.

The insurance company will have a team of investigators, experts and attorneys at their disposal whose goals are to find a justification for denying an injury victim’s claim or to pay the absolute minimum. When a car accident victim attempts to negotiate with insurance company adjusters without legal representation, their personal injury claim can be undermined by damaging statements and strategic mistakes.

The Impact of a Crash

The force of impact in any motor vehicle collision can cause severe injury or permanent disability. Although some injuries can eventually heal, traumatic brain injuries (TBIs), spinal cord injuries and other forms of injury may result in long-term cognitive and physical impairment. Some of the type of injuries which may be experienced by a driver, passenger, motorcyclists, bicyclist or pedestrian in cases that we handle include:

• Joint injuries of the shoulder or knee
• Whiplash
• Head and neck injuries
• Disfigurement
• Internal organ damage
• Decapitation
• Amputation
• Spinal cord injuries (paraplegia or quadriplegia)
• Brain damage impacting cognitive functioning
• Dislocations and hyper-extensions
• Wrongful death

If you or a loved one is injured in an auto collision, there are strict deadlines that must be met to avoid compromising your right to financial recovery. The statute of limitations prohibits bringing a legal case after a certain period of time following one’s accident or injury. Shorter time deadlines will apply if you are suing a public entity such as for a dangerous roadway, and their may be reporting requirements and other deadlines in insurance policies. There could be exceptions that affect your outcome. In all instances, it is critical to contact a lawyer as soon as possible to find out your legal options.
