Don’t Settle for Less: The Importance of Hiring a Car Accident Lawyer

One of the saddest things about car accidents is that no matter how badly injured you are, the other party, usually an insurance company, will likely try to prevent you from recovering the damages you’re entitled to. Even worse, they’ll do the same if you’ve lost a loved one in the accident. That’s because case insurance is business, and profits are all they care about.

That’s why you need an experienced attorney for car accidents to represent you or a loved one. Experience aside, you need a lawyer with access to powerful legal resources, proven results, and, importantly, the willingness to fight for you at the negotiating table and all the way to court, if necessary.

If that’s what you’re looking for, the car accident attorneys at Morgan and Morgan might be able to help. To get started, please fill out our free case evaluation form today.

What Makes a Good Car Accident Attorney?

A good car accident attorney is someone who really knows the ropes of handling these cases. They should have a solid track record of securing substantial verdicts and settlements and be well-versed in car accident law in your State.

It's not just about legal know-how, though; they should have access to powerful legal resources to take on any defendant on your behalf and ensure you don’t settle for less if you deserve more. On top of that, check the attorney’s reviews or the overall reputation of the injury firm they work for. 

To give you some perspective, Morgan and Morgan has over 80,000 five-star reviews on Google alone and a proven track record of winning car accident cases.

How Are Powerful Resources Important in a Car Accident Case?

Having the right resources is like having a strong team behind you when taking on the other party in a car accident case. An attorney with access to powerful resources can bring in experts, use the latest technology for investigations, and generally have more tools at their disposal to build a stronger case for you. It’s about giving your case the best possible chance at winning, something our attorneys are good at.

When Does an Attorney Decide to Take the Case to Court?

Going to court is usually an option if negotiations aren't leading to a fair offer. That’s because we do not reason with the unreasonable.

How Much Does It Cost to Hire an Attorney for a Car Accident?

Our car accident attorneys work on a "no win, no fee" basis. This means their fee is a small percentage of the settlement or court award. If you don’t win, they don’t get paid.

Will the Attorney Communicate With the Insurance Company on My Behalf?

Yes, they will. Dealing with insurance companies can be tricky, and your attorney will take care of all that. They'll make sure your interests are represented and that you don’t get shortchanged. It’s one less thing for you to worry about.

Do I Need a Lawyer if the Other Party Agrees To Settle Directly With Me?

It's still a good idea to have a lawyer look things over, even if the other party wants to settle. They can help you understand if the settlement really covers all your needs. Sometimes, what looks like a good deal might not be enough in the long run. You can count on your attorney to help ensure you're making the right decision.
