An unexpected car accident can bring your life to a screeching halt, literally and figuratively. Even if your accident was minor, you could still walk away with major injuries, some that may last well into your later years. You’ll likely seek medical treatment for the damage, but as we know, that treatment isn’t free, and many car accident victims find themselves under significant financial debt between their medical costs and other expenses. The payout from your insurance policy should help cover you during this uncertain time, but how do you know that the settlement they’re offering is the full extent of your damages?

In some cases, unethical insurance companies have attempted to diminish or deny their client’s rightful restitution for their own financial gain. If they don’t have to pay you in full, they can keep the money they saved for themselves, which is especially unacceptable considering you’re exercising on a policy you’ve paid into for years. Unfortunately, it’s difficult for someone without legal experience to decipher the legal jargon and complicated requirements within a settlement offer, which is why these unethical organizations often get away with it.

To combat this, you’ll need a proficient attorney, one who’s both well-versed in auto accident law and has the drive to get the best possible results for the clients that depend on them. While finding one of these attorneys might seem like an easy task, it’s actually very complicated, as there are thousands of law firms that claim they can handle your case. They’ll say whatever they can to get you to walk through their door, but they likely won’t have the results to back up their claims. That is, of course, unlike Morgan & Morgan, a firm specializing in never settling for less than a client deserves. 

Over the last three decades, our firm has fought For the People and helped our clients escape from the financial burden of an accident they didn’t cause, earning us the title of America’s largest personal injury firm. We’ve learned a lot since our inception, but we’ve never let our success take away from the aspects of our firm that made us who we are today. If you or someone close to you was injured in a car accident, you’ll never regret choosing Morgan & Morgan to handle your case.  Contact us today to get started.

 

How Can I Find the Best Car Accident Lawyer?

You’ll likely search online for a car accident firm, but you might be surprised to see thousands of results come up on your screen. By doing some research, you’ll see that many firms claim the same things: the “best” lawyers, who are the “only ones” capable of helping you. While these firms might be skilled in their practice, there are many other aspects that go into choosing the right law firm for you, such as their resources, their reputation, and most importantly, their results. At the end of the day, if the firm that represents you has trouble reaching successful verdicts and settlements, chances are they’ll have difficulty doing the same for you. If they give up, you could be forced to accept a lower settlement, which is why it’s so important to have the right attorney by your side as you navigate through the process.

At Morgan & Morgan, we understand how awful it is to hire the wrong attorney because we’ve been there. Our firm was established after John Morgan retained a subpar attorney for his brother, Tim, so we’ve made it our goal to help our clients avoid making the same mistake. Since then, we’ve grown exponentially, but that has only made our goal that much easier to attain. Our resources are limitless, we have decades of experience, and all of our attorneys are taught to build up cases for success starting on day one. Don’t believe us? Check out our settlements and verdicts. As you can see, they speak for themselves.

While you’re doing your research, you should remember that Morgan & Morgan always has your back. The other firms you find might seem like great options, and they very well could be, but do you really want to gamble with the success of your case? Choosing our firm is essentially an investment in your future, as we’re more than capable of handling any car accident case, regardless of the size or severity. 

 

What Can a Car Accident Lawyer Do for Me?

A skilled car accident attorney will be able to help you with all aspects of your case, from filing your insurance claim to advocating for your rights in the courtroom. Fortunately for you, Morgan & Morgan has some of the best in the business, and once we’ve received your first call, we will:

  • Investigate your case and determine eligibility: First, our team will review the circumstances surrounding your case to see if we can help you. If it’s determined that you meet the criteria for a lawsuit, our team will begin to establish a foundation to move forward. We can also help you file your insurance claim, determine if the offered settlement accurately reflects your damages, and provide legal advice during any stage of your case, making us a tool in your legal arsenal for any situation you might run into in the future.
  • Investigate your case: Once it’s determined that you have a case, our attorneys will collect any and all applicable evidence to ensure that your case is as strong as possible. Eyewitness testimony, photo/video of the accident, your medical records, and the police reports will all serve to bolster your case for the next phases, 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 further.
  • Negotiate with the at-fault party: Next, our attorneys will bring your 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 in detail, and establish a dollar amount that will serve as your compensation package. The at-fault party can accept our terms and agree to pay you, or they might choose to argue with some details and refuse to settle. If we find ourselves in this situation, we’ll have to fight for your rightful restitution in the courtroom, but we’re always prepared for that scenario.
  • Prepare for trial: Some cases can’t be settled through negotiations, so the only option left is to move the case into the courtroom. Other firms are fearful of this situation, but our attorneys relish the opportunity. We build up our cases for the possibility of a trial starting at day one, allowing us to always stay prepared and one step ahead of the competition. 

 

Can I Afford a Car Accident Lawyer?

You may have heard the stigma that lawyers are exorbitantly expensive to hire and end up costing more than the accident itself. Unfortunately, there are law firms that embody this stereotype, but these organizations often make their money solely from their client’s legal fees. They know they don’t have the capability to deliver the best results for their clients, so instead, they’ll further burden the client with legal fees to bolster the profit margin of their organization, often leaving the client to pick up the pieces in the end. This tactic takes advantage of clients who find themselves in vulnerable positions, so we’ve chosen to take a different approach when clients come through our door.

At Morgan & Morgan, we believe that everyone should have the ability to afford proficient representation, regardless of their financial status. When you team up with us, you pay nothing out-of-pocket, and we’re only paid when we win. Rather than add more expenses to your plate, we take our fee from the favorable settlement or jury award to ensure you have a skilled attorney by your side while you move through your legal challenge. Not only does our contingency keep the costs low on your end, but it also centralizes everyone involved around a singular goal: getting you the best possible results for your car accident case.
