How An Oceanside Accident Lawyer Can Help You
The vast majority of negligence cases settle before trial. That is why an experienced accident attorney makes a big difference in the outcome of your case. Our approach to your case will include:
- Gather Evidence: When first responders arrive, their first priorities are to help victims and secure the scene. They are not there to gather evidence to support a future claim for damages. We examine the evidence to build the strongest possible case.
- Arrange for Medical Attention: Our personal injury law firm has a team of medical experts that will assess your injuries. This information allows us to negotiate a more accurate settlement. Many people simply don’t understand the extent of their injuries. This results in them accepting an offer that doesn’t fully cover their medical expenses. Don’t accept less than you should. Find out how we can help.
- Negotiate On Your Behalf: We know the law and are prepared to trial. This allows us to negotiate effectively for you. We won’t accept a bad offer or one that is lower than what you deserve. After an accident, you should collect for lost wages, medical bills, and pain and suffering. Don’t settle for less.
At the Injury Trial Lawyers, APC, we go through a similar process to get ready for trial. Our skilled personal injury lawyers are known as top-rated litigators, which means we’re ready to fight in court for you.
What You Can Do To Help Yourself After an Accident
The best thing you can do is get legal representation before you call the insurance company. Television commercials create the impression that the people on the other end of the phone are friendly advocates who are “on your side.” But in reality, most insurance companies have trained telephone adjusters answering these calls. These individuals know how to gently extract damaging information with seemingly innocuous questions. As a result, many people reduce the amount of compensation they will receive later without even realizing that they are being manipulated.
The sooner you call, the sooner we can begin the evidence-gathering phase. That’s important because physical evidence quickly disappears, witnesses move away, and so on. Since victims have the burden of proof in civil court, we must have lots of strong evidence to both make a case and increase the amount of compensation.
Typically, victims must bring suit within two years of the accident, or they lose their right to recovery forever. Building a strong case takes time. As such, you should contact our experienced San Diego personal injury attorneys as soon as possible.
