An attorney will handle all matters related to your car accident starting from preserving evidence to getting you the compensation you deserve for you injuries and damages.

• Were you involved in a hit-and-run or a multi-car crash? These types of accidents are complex because of the number of possible liable parties and multiple insurance companies.
• Did the other driver's insurance offer you a settlement? Do not agree to a settlement, make any statements, or sign any documents until you speak to an attorney.
• Were you severely injured? Are your injuries permanent? Permanent injuries can mean multiple surgeries, hospital visits, home modifications, a significant change in your income and more. An attorney can help you get the compensation you need.
• Were you involved in a crash with government entity? Suing the government is a tricky process, whether it is the federal or state government.
• Did you lose someone you loved as a result of injuries sustained in a car accident caused by someone else's negligence? If so, you have the right to seek compensation by means of filing a wrongful death lawsuit. A knowledgeable attorney can guide you through the process.
