Injured in a Car Accident? Here's Why You Need the Right Attorney

Most of us understand how dangerous it is to drive to work in the morning, but not many people remember this important fact until it’s too late. Unfortunately, the open road ahead of you can quickly change to chaos if a negligent driver makes a mistake, and chances are, you won’t be able to maneuver yourself to safety every time. If you’re lucky, you might walk away from the scene with minor injuries and vehicle damage, but some car accident victims might not be as fortunate. A serious injury might require hospitalization and, in the worst cases, could cause someone to lose their life, which is especially unacceptable when someone else’s negligence caused the accident.

All car accident victims should seek medical attention after a car accident, even if they believe the damage is minor. In some cases, accident victims have sustained internal injuries that aren’t apparent at first but can cause serious health issues down the line, so it’s important for you to see a trusted medical professional following your accident to ensure your health and wellbeing aren’t in jeopardy. Once you’ve received medical treatment, you’ll likely find that the expense is much more significant than you originally thought. Between your medical bills, the cost to repair your vehicle, and your physical/emotional damage, it’s easy to become overwhelmed with the stress of your accident. However, by teaming up with an experienced attorney, you can potentially mitigate the financial burden from your accident and recover the compensation you need to get back on your feet.

Car accident lawyers exist to help you mitigate the consequences of an unforeseen accident you didn’t cause, but, much like the other aspects of a car accident, retaining an attorney can prove to be an expensive task. With the financial burden of your accident looming overhead, it’s likely that you won’t be able to shift your wallet around and find the resources for an expensive lawyer. You also won’t want to settle for a lesser firm just because of price, as smaller firms tend to not have the same capability as larger ones, and you could potentially find yourself forced to accept a lowered settlement because your legal team can’t afford to continue litigating. You don’t want to pay thousands of dollars upfront, nor do you want to sacrifice on the legal team that represents you, so how will you find the right attorney for you and your situation?

At Morgan & Morgan, we’ve made it easy for you. As America’s largest personal injury firm, we have the resources to take on any bully organization, all for no out-of-pocket costs. We have what it takes to help any car accident victim escape from the consequences of an accident they didn’t cause, and we’re only a phone call away. Contact us today to get started.

How Can I Find the Right Car Accident Lawyer for Me?

As you’ve probably seen, there are thousands of car accident law firms online, and they all say the same thing. “Our firm has the best of the best, and we’re the only ones who can help you recover the compensation you’re entitled to.” While these are nice sentiments, and some of these firms might be proficient at what they do, it’s almost impossible to trust a firm based on what their webpage says. They might be able to talk the talk, but when push comes to shove, does the firm you’re looking at achieve results for their clients? If they fail to list their results, like their settlements and verdicts, you might not want to choose that firm, as you won’t know their capabilities until it’s too late.

Next, you’ll want to consider cost, as not everyone is independently wealthy enough to afford expensive representation. Larger firms will cost more initially, but they have the resources that other firms won’t, meaning they can afford to continue litigation longer than small firms. However, your case essentially becomes a number in their database to these firms, and you lose the attention that a small firm provides by choosing to go with a larger one. You don’t want to sacrifice the success of your lawsuit for the price of your representation, but what if there was an easy answer right in front of you?

Fortunately for you, you’re already on the page of America’s largest personal injury firm, and we’ve chosen to take a different path than our competition. We offer a best of both worlds approach to our clients, the resources of a corporate giant with the touch of a small firm, to allow you the opportunity to never settle on your legal team. You essentially get a free car accident attorney when you decide to team up with us, and unlike other firms, we take our fee from the favorable settlement or jury award at the end of your case to allow anyone the ability to afford proficient representation during an uncertain time in their life. Not only that, but we have settlements and verdicts that other firms can only dream of. Don’t believe us? See for yourself.

What Can a Car Accident Lawyer Do for Me?

Your car accident lawyer can help you with the legal side of your car wreck, including filing your insurance claim and fighting for your case in the courtroom. An experienced attorney will have seen your case before and can use their legal expertise to help guide you towards the best possible outcome, allowing you to take a back seat while you recover. When you’ve retained your free Morgan & Morgan car accident lawyer, they will:

Determine your eligibility and offer legal advice: First, our team will review the facts and the situation surrounding your case to determine if you meet the criteria for a lawsuit. If you do, we can begin to establish a foundation to move forward. Our team can also serve as a source of legal advice as you navigate through the process, and we can help with any questions you may have.

Collect evidence and all other applicable information: Once it’s determined that you qualify for a car accident lawsuit, your attorney will begin to collect evidence to bolster your case. Eyewitness reports, photo/video of the accident, police reports, and your medical records will all serve to make your case as strong as possible, so we’ll make sure to leave no stone unturned. Additionally, our team works closely with subject-matter experts from across the country, and we can enlist their help to strengthen your case for the future further.

Negotiate with the at-fault party: Next, we’ll bring your complete case to the negotiation table and attempt to reach a settlement with the at-fault party. We’ll display your damages, explain how each affected you, and establish a dollar amount that will serve as your total compensation. The at-fault party can accept our terms and pay you swiftly, or they’ll refuse to settle, claiming some problem with one or multiple damages that we’re seeking for recovery. 

Prepare for trial: Although most car accident disputes resolve themselves through settlement negotiations, it’s possible that neither party can agree on a settlement. In these cases, the only option left is to move the case into the courtroom and litigate there, which is a feat not many law firms can pull off. However, all of Morgan & Morgan’s car accident lawyers relish the opportunity to advocate for the rights of their clients in the courtroom. We build up cases for the possibility of a trial starting on day one, allowing us to stay one step ahead of the competition and give you the best possible chance of a successful recovery.

Are All Car Accident Lawyers Free?

Unfortunately, most car accident firms charge expensive rates for their service, despite never seeing the inside of a courtroom in years. A majority of these other firms make their money solely from their client’s legal fees, which is unfair when they’re coming to the law firm in hopes of escaping from a financial burden, not starting another one. That’s why we’ve made our fee free for all our clients. That’s right, the upfront fee is free when you team up with Morgan & Morgan. Rather than add more expenses to your plate, we take our fee from the favorable settlement or jury award at the end of the case, allowing you to fight for your compensation alongside an attorney who’s proficient at what they do. Not only that, but we’re only paid if we win, so you’ll never have to foot the bill for an unsuccessful case, which is unlike many other firms.
