    • Investigating the accident scene
    • Collecting police reports and witness statements
    • Reviewing medical records Negotiating with insurance companies
    • Filing a lawsuit and going to trial, if necessary

Frequently Asked Questions:

  • Do I need a lawyer for a car accident claim?
  • Yes. Insurance companies aim to minimize payouts. An attorney ensures you’re not pressured into a settlement that doesn’t meet your needs.

  • How long do I have to file a car accident claim?
  • Each state has a “statute of limitations.” In most states, it’s between 2–4 years from the date of the accident. Contact us as soon as possible to protect your rights.

  • What if the other driver doesn’t have insurance?
  • You may still be able to recover through your own uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage. We can review your policy and explore other options.

  • How much does it cost to hire your firm?
  • We work on a contingency fee basis — meaning you don’t pay us unless we win your case.
