Car Accident Attorney in New Albany

Medical Examination

After an accident, the most important thing is your health. The medical professional in charge of your care should take detailed notes of your injuries, including internal injuries, which are harder to detect. It is also important that they note of any injuries that may become apparent in the future.

At this point, it is important to seek out an attorney you can trust. They can guide you through the remainder of the process.

Investigation

Once you retain an attorney, they will collect evidence for your case. Some examples of evidence include:

• Photo/videos of the accident scene
• Accident reports and medical records
• Eyewitness interviews
• Testimony from experts

Creating a Demand Letter

When all evidence has been gathered, your attorney will create a comprehensive list of your immediate and future injuries/damages. Then, they’ll determine a dollar amount owed for each injury and begin to draft the demand letter. This letter will outline why the at-fault party was negligent, list your injuries, and request compensation for the damage.

Negotiation and Litigation

If the insurance company offers a settlement, your attorney will determine if the compensation is fair. At Morgan & Morgan, our attorneys won’t settle for less than you deserve — they’ll negotiate with the insurance company to obtain full compensation. If a full settlement can’t be reached, our attorneys are prepared to take your case to the courtroom.

We take more cases to trial than any other personal injury firm. Insurance companies know this, so they’re more likely to pay out a higher settlement than fight a losing battle in court.

In car accident lawsuits, the most common types of damages to be recovered are:

• Pain and suffering
• Past and future medical costs
• Lost wages
• Loss of earning capacity (if the individual can’t return to work or their earning potential decreased)
• Funeral expenses (in cases of wrongful death)

If you or a loved one has been injured in a car accident, we have your back. The price for pain is infinite, and that’s why we won’t settle for less than you deserve. While other personal injury firms may carry expensive price tags, we’re the opposite. Our fee comes out of the favorable settlement or jury award, so it costs nothing upfront for our assistance.
