Auto Accident Lawyer Near Me

Liability in a car accident can fall on the other driver, the owner of the vehicle, or even a company if the driver was working at the time. In some cases, a manufacturer may be liable if a vehicle defect, such as a malfunctioning braking system, contributed to the accident. 

Determining liability often involves examining negligence and fault in the accident, which also requires access to powerful legal resources, including expert witnesses and investigators. That's one of our biggest strengths, which explains how we've been able to recover more than $20 billion for the injured so far, with many cases still in the pipeline.

In that case, you may need to turn to your own insurance policy, particularly if you have uninsured motorist coverage. Your lawyer can help review your insurance paperwork, determine whether you have other avenues to file a claim and ensure you receive the compensation you're entitled to under your policy.

Being partly at fault doesn't necessarily bar you from recovering damages. Many states, with the exception of Alabama, Maryland, Virginia, and North Carolina, have comparative negligence laws that allow you to recover compensation even if you were partly at fault. 

However, the compensation will likely be reduced by your percentage of fault. Your lawyer can help determine how these laws apply to your case and calculate the potential impact on your compensation.

If the insurance company refuses to settle or offers an unfair settlement, they'll see us in court. It's as simple as that.
