A car accident injury is more than an injury–it’s the medical bills for recovery, the lost wages while recuperating, and the time you lose while you’re healing.
Life doesn’t stop when you get injured, either. You’re going to have to pay all of the normal expenses you pay–mortgages, rent, bills, and everything else.
A major accident is a life-changing event. Let the law offices of Darren Grant & Matt Flanery help.
Darren Grant & Matt Flanery are board-certified in personal injury law, and they’ve helped hundreds of East Texans get the compensation they deserve.
They work tirelessly to ensure their clients are able to recover from their accident–financially, physically, and emotionally. The insurance companies want to pay as little as possible–the law offices of Darren Grant & Matt Flanery won’t let them get away with it.
After an accident, you’ll typically file a claim with the other party’s insurance. That insurance company will, in essence, try to pay out as little as possible. That’s how they make their money.
This is problematic for cases that involve a major or minor injury. Calculating those costs needs to be done by an expert, and most individuals aren’t experts.
A personal injury lawyer will work on behalf of their client to ensure that they get compensated properly for their accident and their injury.
If you’ve been in an accident and need a lawyer, contact our personal injury law firm today to learn more about how we can help you.
The first step to a personal injury case is meeting with an attorney and discussing your accident to learn if you have a case.
Your attorney will gather evidence about the accident–as well as calculate your medical expenses and other damages.
Your lawyer will finally submit the claim. This will petition that the insurance company pay in full your expenses.
The insurance company and your lawyer will negotiate the compensation. If they agree, the case will end with a settlement.
If your lawyer can’t reach an agreement with the insurance company, your case may go to trial before a judge or jury.
When determining whether or not a victim qualifies for compensation, a lawyer–or the court–will need to determine who is responsible for causing the accident. They do this by demonstrating negligence.
Traditionally, this may be the other driver or the client themselves. Other people or entities may also be negligent.
Personal injury lawyers work on a contingency fee arrangement. This means that you don’t pay them anything out-of-pocket.
Instead, their fee is taken from the money that is awarded to you in the settlement or after the trial. If they don’t win, they don’t make any money.
Only you can determine if you should hire a lawyer. Most accidents that only involve damage to property can be handled without the assistance of a personal injury attorney.
If you were injured in a car wreck, a lawyer can help. Even a free consultation can help you know if you have a good case and may need a lawyer.
A personal injury lawyer will also help you get compensated for how your injury will affect you in the future, which is often difficult for an individual to calculate.
If you’ve been injured in an accident, you should not speak to the other person’s insurance company. They sound friendly, but they are not your friends and anything you say may be eventually used against you.
If you’ve been in an auto accident, a lawyer can help whenever you’re ready. It’s better to get them involved in the process early, but they will most likely want to wait until you’ve completed your recovery before moving forward with your case.
If you were injured in a car accident, a personal injury lawyer can help you get the compensation you deserve. Contact the law offices of Darren Grant & Matt Flanery to learn how we can help.
A consultation is free, and even if all it provides is peace of mind–it will be worth it.
