Does a Lawsuit Need to Be Filed?
No, in some cases we can get a good settlement before a lawsuit is filed. This being said, it is never a good idea to want a settlement so badly that you are willing to accept a low payout. Your lawyer has to be willing to take a case to trial, and the other side needs to know that.
How Do Lawyers Win a Car Accident Case?
In order to win a case our lawyers have to prove that a person or company did something wrong that caused injury to our client.
In car accidents, that means proving that a driver was speeding, following too closely, or not yielding to oncoming traffic while making a left turn. This wrongful conduct may also be a violation of state statutes which are then admitted into evidence at trial to show that the driver’s conduct failed to conform to the requirements of that law (e.g. a witness to a crash testifies that at the time of a crash, one of the drivers was traveling at 75 mph. The judge later explains to the jury that in evaluating the conduct of that driver, it should consider a “speeding” statute that states that no driver may lawfully travel on a highway at a speed in excess of 50 mph).

How much money can I win for my auto or truck crash case?
The amount of money awarded to crash victims depends on many factors. Common factors include the severity of the injuries, available insurance benefits, and the state where the suit is filed. Your attorney will do a thorough investigation and then determine what your case is worth.
What should I do with my vehicle after a crash or accident?
If you were in a crash with another vehicle, the vehicles themselves can be useful in determining which driver was at-fault. As soon as possible after a crash, your lawyer needs to inspect them. To prevent a crash-associated commercial truck from being cleaned or otherwise tampered with, your attorney needs to take legal action.
I have head and neck pain after a car crash, should I see a doctor?
Yes, after being in a crash, even minor head or neck pain can be an indicator of more serious internal damage. Traumatic brain injuries like concussions are very common after car accidents, and it is important to see a doctor to prevent any further damage and to get an idea of the severity of the injury.
