Accident Injury Lawyers – Experience Matters

There’s No Substitute for Experience When Winning Compensation as an Injured Passenger in a Car Wreck

There are many personal injury attorneys in Texas. How can you decide which one is right to handle your case? Our respected passenger accident attorneys suggest that if it’s at all possible, that you interview at least two or three lawyers before choosing the one that you want to hire. And if a family member is fresh out of emergency surgery it is not unusual for family members to begin this task quickly. Hiring an experienced attorney as soon as possible is strongly suggested, if for no other reason than the investigation needs to begin ASAP. More on this webpage
Ask each one about his track record for settling and litigating bus accident cases. Find out what each attorney thinks the strengths and weaknesses of your case are. See if the lawyers can provide you with the names of former clients whose cases were similar to yours. Ask if you can contact them. And then reach out to them and ask the same question you asked your prospective legal advocate and counsel. If you do all of these things to your satisfaction, then you’ll be able to hire an attorney whose experience in handling cases like yours gives you confidence, as well as peace of mind that this is the lawyer you can trust with your case.

When accident victims retain the attorneys with our Law Firm, they receive the following services:

We ensure that our clients receive the medical care they require in order to recover from their injuries.
We conduct an in-depth investigation to determine the cause of the accident. This includes asset checks of all defendants to make certain they can pay damages.
Our investigators gather evidence, including witness statements, photographs, forensic tests, and police reports that we will need in order to prove your claims.
We respond to and send discovery requests (and shield you from opposition insurance adjusters).
We manage ALL the paperwork and phone calls related to your claims. We file all motions (and answer all motions made by the defense) quickly and effectively.
We use our stellar reputation to pressure the defendants into settlement.
We act as mediators for our clients’ cases.
When necessary, we file lawsuits and argue them aggressively to prove your damage case in front of a jury.
We fairly and accurately calculate all damages resulting from the car accident and demand fair compensation for you.

A non-attorney doesn’t have the necessary knowledge to effectively investigate an accident scene, negotiate a fair settlement with insurance companies, or successfully represent him or herself in court. Litigating an accident-related injury case is extremely complex. And attorneys who don’t have a deep background in personal injury cases don’t have any better chance than you of winning reasonable compensation. So why would you even entertain such a foolish idea, especially when tens, or even hundreds of thousands of dollars are on the table?

And if you’re thinking about taking up the offer of a relative or friend who is a lawyer to represent you, you might want to seriously reconsider that plan. For even though he or she might be looking out for your best interests to fight hard for your rights in a bus accident case, unless this person is an experienced personal injury lawyer with experience beating these opponents and their insurance companies, your attorney’s good intentions might result in your side taking a knife to a gunfight.

Your friend/relative lawyer will likely have a difficult time emotionally detaching him or herself from issues surrounding your case because of that close association. Personal injury law is quite intense and extremely contentious. Your attorney must be pragmatic, focus solely on the facts of a case, and be very cool under in order to succeed for you. What happens if that friend or relative attorney doesn’t win the case, or accepts a less-than-fair settlement because he knows how badly you need the money now? How will you feel about your friend or relative then? You will be very wise to keep your family members and friends out of your legal business when deciding who will represent your passenger injury liability lawsuit most effectively.

Put our years of experience to work for you. If you want to know what your rights are, how to proceed with your claim, and how much compensation you can secure from your auto injury case, call our Law Firm now for a free consultation and find out how we can help you recover the full fair value of the damages you have suffered through the negligence of another driver.
