Calling an Attorney After a Car Accident Has Perks
Managing the aftermath of a car accident without help is no easy feat. You have to deal with your insurance provider, an at-fault party’s insurance provider, the police, and first responders. Matters grow even more complicated if you are injured in an accident. It’s easy to feel overwhelmed to the point of inaction with all of this responsibility on your shoulders.
That, however, is where a car accident lawyer can step in. Our attorneys don’t let you shoulder the burden of your recovery on your own. Instead, we let you focus on your essential medical and personal needs while laying out the legal avenues you can take toward accident compensation.
Berry Law’s team of experienced auto accident lawyers can help you:
Get Out Ahead of Your Story
The last thing you want is for the person responsible for your accident to try and throw the blame for the crash back onto you. Our attorneys may advise you to not share inessential information with liable parties, police officers, and insurance companies. At the same time, we establish your case’s story to clarify who is at fault.
Begin an Investigation Early
When you call car crash lawyers, we help secure the evidence we need to establish liability for your losses. Our team works fast to bring in data, including:
- Video footage of your accident
- Bystander accounts of a driver’s negligence
- Expert witness statements
- Social media posts
- Photos or audio of your accident
- Statements from police officers
We then use this data to tell the broader story of your accident. For example, if you think an independent driver caused your accident when they were, in fact, an on-duty rideshare driver, the evidence we bring forward may help you hold a rideshare company responsible for your losses.
Communicate More Effectively With Insurance Providers
Our team knows how to communicate with insurance adjusters after a car accident. Most insurance companies expect you to reach out and inform them of an accident within 24 hours of the accident. Our team may step in, manage those conversations for you, and possibly prevent an insurance adjuster from underestimating the value of your car accident losses.
How to Estimate the Value of Your Car Accident Case
It’s hard to estimate the value of a car accident case off of the top of your head. The total cost of your accident may grow in the days, weeks, and months following your collision. What’s more, no two car accident settlements look the same. As such, our team independently calculates the value of your case to better negotiate with a liable party and insurance companies.
While the nature of the losses you may be entitled to may vary based on your accident, car accident survivors can often request the following damages after a crash:
- Medical expenses
- At-home assistance and physical therapy
- Property restoration and replacement
- Lost wages or opportunities to pursue employment
- Emotional distress and mental anguish
- Pain and suffering
Families of fatal car accident victims may have the right to request wrongful death damages. If you lost a loved one in a car accident, you can discuss the value of loss of consortium, companionship, and alternative forms of income with the Berry Law team.
Berry Law Gives You Control Over Car Accident Legal Proceedings
Car accidents can leave you feeling powerless and unsure of your next steps. They place immediate and often severe financial obstacles in your way. What’s more, these accidents can make you feel like you have to jump through a thousand hoops to get the support you need.
Our team works to help you take back control after a car accident. When we file a claim on your behalf, you have the opportunity to either have a judge or jury determine the value of your case. We can also negotiate for damages outside of court.
You can go to trial for car accident losses if you feel those losses are substantial or if the liable party refuses to provide you with the compensation you deserve. Alternatively, you can negotiate for a settlement with a liable party who acknowledges their fault or who otherwise seems sympathetic to your losses.
Our auto accident attorneys work to make the path you choose as manageable as possible. We can even alternate between these two options – transitioning you into a trial, for example, if negotiations fall through – depending on the circumstances surrounding your case.
