After a car accident, it can be hard to think beyond your immediate medical needs and financial worries. How are you going to get medical care? How will you make this month's mortgage payment? When can you get back to work?
Should I Accept the Settlement Offer? Should I Sign the Release?
Immediate financial and medical worries may make it seem like a good idea to accept any settlement offer, no matter the amount. This is probably not the best option. The best way to protect yourself after a car accident is to talk to an experienced personal injury lawyer before accepting any settlement or signing any release — otherwise, you may lose your legal right to additional compensation.
What If I Don't Have Personal Injury Protection Insurance?
If you have Personal Injury Protection (PIP) insurance, it can be used to handle your immediate medical bills and lost wages. PIP insurance typically pays for 60 percent of lost wages and 80 percent of your medical bills.
If you don't have PIP yourself, we may still be able to find medical or wage loss coverage for you. This is one of the first services we provide to our personal injury clients.
Our job, when we represent victims of car accidents, is to help you get through the early days of financial and medical worries and then be your legal advocate so that you can get the best possible financial settlement — or jury verdict if necessary.
As your attorneys, we look into the future to see what the long-term effects of the car accident might be. Will you need long-term medical care? Will you need retraining for a new job? Will your family need financial help if you are unable to return to work?
We use medical and other experts as necessary to obtain the answers to these questions. We then build a strong case on your behalf and fight for full and fair compensation — not just for the short-term, but also for the long-term if necessary.
