Skilled Representation For Accident Victims
When you are involved in a car or trucking accident, the consequences can be overwhelming.

Recognizing How Accidents Happen
Understanding what caused your accident can be critical in providing information on how the liable party is responsible for your injuries. Car accidents often result from distracted driving, speeding and impaired driving. These incidents can lead to significant injuries and complicated legal battles. Trucking accidents, however, introduce additional complexities. These accidents can stem from fatigued drivers, uneven cargo loads, poor driver training, and speeding to meet delivery deadlines.
Car and trucking accidents share similarities, but the differences are crucial in developing a legal strategy. For truck accident claims, multiple parties may be involved, including the driver, their employer or a parts manufacturer. When more parties are involved, a claim can become more complicated. We are skilled in sorting out these claims to keep things simple while still pursuing the fair compensation you deserve.

Answering Questions About Your Car Accident Claim
If you have been involved in a car or trucking accident, you likely have many questions about the next steps. We want you to have the information you need, which is why we have taken the time to answer some common questions we receive here:
How long do most car accident settlements take?
The time it takes to settle a car accident case varies based on several factors, including the complexity of the case, the severity of injuries, and the willingness of the insurance company to negotiate. Settlements in a personal injury claim with minor injuries are often the fastest resolution method but can still take months or longer to finalize. If the victim sustained catastrophic injuries or if the case goes to litigation, it can take years to resolve. No matter what resolution method is best for you, we will work to reduce the time it takes to resolve your claim without sacrificing the quality of the outcome.

How soon after an accident should I contact a lawyer?
It is advisable to contact a lawyer as soon as possible after an accident. The more time you can give your attorney to work on your case, the better. Acting fast in these cases means collecting fresher evidence, interviewing witnesses with clearer memories, and minimizing the time it takes to receive compensation. Your attorney can also act on your behalf through much of your claim, so you can focus on your health. Delaying your claim by waiting to speak to an attorney can mean missing out on critical evidence while also letting expenses and losses continue to pile up, so be sure not to waste time.
Should I see a doctor even if I feel fine?
Yes, you should see a doctor even if you feel fine after an accident. Some injuries, like whiplash or concussions, may not present immediate symptoms but can have serious long-term effects. Seeking medical attention also means gathering documentation about the full extent of your injuries and can also show you did not worsen your condition by not seeking medical attention. Without seeing a doctor, you could miss out on the full value of your compensation claim.
