How a lawyer can make a difference
Some people might think they don’t need a lawyer if a distracted driver crashed into their car. The other driver clearly broke the law. The police are likely investigating the accident. And insurance company representatives might seem very cooperative.
Don’t be so sure. Distracted drivers often deny doing anything wrong. They might even try to claim you caused their crash. And when it comes to insurance companies, they often make lowball offers that don’t even come close to covering the full cost of your accident. They might even deny your claim altogether.
They don’t intimidate us. We know how to fight for accident victims and demand the compensation they deserve. As your attorney, we can thoroughly investigate your crash and negotiate with the insurance company on your behalf or take them to court. Find out what our car accident attorneys can do for you.
