01Investigating the Accident
Your attorney will conduct an in-depth investigation to identify what caused the collision and which party was to blame.
They will gather evidence such as:
- Accident report/police report
- Photos of your injuries, vehicle damage, and photos of the accident scene
- Video footage, if available
- Phone records
- Vehicle repair estimates
- Eyewitness statements
- Expert testimony
- Pay stubs
- Medical records
- Medical bills
And more.
Your attorney will gather vital evidence that can help support your claim and your demand for compensation
02Consulting with Experts
Your car accident lawyer may also meet with experts to help strengthen your claim and prove the severity of your injuries and other damages.
At the Hines Law Firm, our legal team may work with the following types of experts:
- Accident reconstructionists
- Forensic accountants
- Life care planners
- Private investigators
- Occupational therapists
- Physical therapists
- Engineers
- Mechanics
- Economists
And other industry professionals.
02Negotiating with the Insurance Company
The other driver’s insurer may be quick to contact you by phone and ask for your side of the story. A claims adjuster will ask to record your statement, as they ask misleading and confusing questions meant to get an accident victim to admit fault or say something else that could harm their claim. When you hire a car accident attorney at the Hines Law Firm, they will handle all interactions with the insurance company, including settlement negotiations. The initial offer made by an insurance company is often too low to cover the true cost of your accident-related losses.
An experienced car accident lawyer will have assessed your damages and will know what your claim is worth. They will handle all negotiation discussions with the insurance company and bring you every offer the claims adjuster makes, advising you on whether to accept the offer or make a counteroffer.
04Representing You in Court
If the insurance company refuses to make a fair settlement offer, your car accident lawyer may advise you to file a lawsuit. They will only recommend pursuing compensation in court if they believe you stand a better chance of recovering the compensation you deserve.
During this time, as they prepare for trial, they will continue to negotiate with the insurance company. Fortunately, most auto accident claims are settled out of court. An insurance company does not want to spend time and money on a long trial.
