Don’t regret not pursuing
your car accident claim in the future.

Just as it is with any other expense in life regarding legal representation, you get what you pay for. The good thing is that personal injury cases are taken on contingency, so you won’t pay anything until your lawyer settles on your behalf.

Insurance providers are always trying to minimize their payouts and limit their liability. After all, this is how they make a profit. You should always avoid signing any documents or paperwork, as well as providing any official statements until you have consulted with an attorney. You don’t want to say or sign anything that an insurance company could use against you in settlement negotiations or court.

Drunk driving is one of the biggest preventable causes of injury and death on the roads. In most places, the law holds intoxicated drivers to an even higher level of accountability for damages and pain inflicted due to their actions. This leads to everything from criminal liability to paying extra in damages and restitution.

In addition to medical expenses, lost wages from missed time at work, as well as damage sustained to your vehicle, you may be reimbursed for such things as:

• Pain and suffering
• Emotional distress
• Loss of enjoyable activities (if you can no longer participate in your favorite activities such as sports or other hobbies)
• Loss of property on your person or in your vehicle at the time of the accident

The smallest things or minor details that you document can be helpful in winning your case. It is crucial to obtain and gather as much evidence as possible as soon as possible. In addition to police reports, photos, medical notes, and other types of documented evidence, your lawyer may also try to obtain videos or pictures and from nearby traffic cameras and security cameras, as well as statements from witnesses.
