What Does a Car Accident Lawyer Do?

A car accident lawyer stands up for you in car accident cases where you were not at fault. You may be unfairly left with injuries, medical bills, vehicle expenses, pain and suffering, or other effects. He or she can help you with:

Offering legal advice - There is a lot of mixed information out there; a lawyer can make the best course of action clearer. 
Understanding your rights - Laws vary by state, and there are a lot of fine details. 
Negotiating a fair settlement - People who represent themselves in court on average receive smaller settlements than those with legal representation.

Hiring a car accident attorney isn’t just for those who have gotten in serious car accidents. You may need protection in smaller collisions if the other party is trying to shift blame or make false legal claims.

Why could my claim be denied?

Unfortunately, car accident insurance claims are not always automatically accepted and your claim could be denied for several different reasons. These include:

  • Failing to provide the necessary documentation on time
  • Submitting inaccurate or incomplete information, 
  • Exaggerating the extent of damage, 
  • Attempting to recover costs not covered by policy guidelines, 
  • Or lacking evidence that establishes fault for the accident.

Knowing these potential causes of denial is important to ensure your car accident claim has the best chance at being accepted.

  • Kind, sympathetic, reassuring and more importantly, very knowledgeable

    “I couldn’t be happier with the service I received from this law firm. I felt comfortable from the minute I first walked through the door. I had less than two weeks before the expiration of my personal injury filing date and was overwhelmed. My first appointment was with Elizabeth who took my huge stack of papers with a smile and said, “Let me take care of this for you.” Although all of the staff that I encountered were wonderful, my main experience was with Mr. Farmer and Elizabeth who were both kind, sympathetic, reassuring and more importantly, very knowledgeable. My case was handled professionally and in a timely fashion. My case was recently concluded and I am very happy with the outcome and would not hesitate to use them again or recommend them to my friends and family in the future. Need a good law firm, no need to look further.”

  • Keeps in touch with you throughout the whole process, and even after your case is over with

    I just recently had James E. Farmer handle my second DUI and I received the best possible outcome I could've wished for. The judge I had could've really laid down the hammer on me but James worked his magic and did an incredible job. He knows what he is talking about and is very humble. He keeps in touch with you throughout the whole process, and even after your case is over with, and he explains everything so you know exactly what is going on. This is my first time hiring James and without a doubt, I would hire him again. He would be the first person I'd call if another legal problem should ever rise-- though I've made a promise to myself to stay away from the law as much as possible. He will be highly recommended to anyone that asks me if I know a great lawyer.

  • A wise choice for anyone pursuing legal justice and/or a defense

    Mr. Farmer and his team were impressive through their work effort and detailed approach in every phase the Civil Court Personal Injury case. They also were responsive to any questions/concerns, supportive and communicated well through out the process. In the end, a satisfactory settlement was achieved.
