Comprehensive Legal Help for Car Accident Victims
We represent clients who have suffered back or neck injuries, complex fractures, head or brain injuries, and other serious injuries in a car accident involving other passenger vehicles, commercial trucks, pedestrians, bicyclists, or other factors. Our focus is on recovering the full compensation that our clients need in order to deal with their injuries and aftermath of the accident, such as lost wages, modifications to their home, and other expenses.
What do you do if you are in a car accident?
In most instances, the law requires that you report a car accident to law enforcement as soon as possible. This should be done at the scene of the traffic accident, if at all possible, so that the police can respond to the scene while all parties and vehicles are still present. The responding officer will write a report and should provide you with the other driver's insurance information. Thereafter, as soon as practical, you should also report the accident to your insurance company, even if you are not at fault in causing the car accident. Making these prompt reports to both law enforcement and insurance companies assures your compliance with the law and best preserves your rights. It also helps our firm determine liability on the part of the negligent party.
What about my Property Damage claim?
The claim you may have for the damage to or loss of your vehicle is additional to the claims for your personal injuries. People usually settle their property damage claims themselves shortly after the car accident. However, at Stafford & Heafner, our personal injury lawyers often assist our clients in resolving the property damage portion of their claims to ensure their rights are fully protected. Contact us for help with questions including:
- Which insurance company do I call?
- How do I get my vehicle repaired?
- When is a vehicle a total loss?
- Who gets the total loss check?
- Who pays for rental, towing, and storage?
We can provide straightforward answers to your questions and compassionate guidance to resolve your personal injury and property damage claims as efficiently and effectively as possible. Our experience analyzing insurance coverage enables us to ensure maximum compensation is pursued on your behalf, including compensation available through an uninsured or underinsured motorist claim.
