1. Personal injury lawyers throughout the US tell us the types of cases they specialize in.
2. Claimants (like you) submit their case details. The closest attorney, who accepts your claim type, is immediately notified.
3. Your Accident.com lawyer reaches out immediately to discuss your case or schedule a free consultation.
Hiring a lawyer is an important decision if you have large medical bills, lost wages, or were injured due to negligence.
Accident.com connects you to a lawyer that makes sure you get paid everything you are entitled to. Your lawyer files your claim for you and then negotiates the amount of your settlement.
If the insurance company is believed to be acting in bad faith, your lawyer can request a trial and sue for a higher settlement.
Your lawyer will:
1) Request medical records for you.
2) Review police reports and medical charts.
3) Communicate back and forth with your insurance adjuster.
Accident.com lawyers do the heavy lifting, so you don’t have to.
People who hire attorneys statistically receive more money in their injury settlement. Even after paying the lawyer's contingency fee, people still walk away with more money than they probably would have received without an attorney.
You do not have to pay your attorney unless you win. When you win, your lawyer is paid a percentage of your final settlement.
This means the better you do, the better your lawyer does. It’s a win-win.
Bankruptcy, divorce, criminal charges, etc, can all affect your injury case. Your personal injury lawyer is familiar with different areas of law and can work with other attorneys if needed. Your Accident.com lawyer will work with your other lawyer (from other practice areas) to reach a solution in your best interest. A personal injury lawyer can also handle the insurance company's lawyers if your case goes past negotiations.
Personal injury lawyers have years learning the ins-and-outs of the law, so you don’t need to. Lawyers will let you know all of your rights and the best strategies to pursue your claim.
If there are multiple claims, your lawyer can file more than one on your behalf, or get additional help from other attorneys.
1. Always stop if you are involved in an accident, this is your legal obligation.
2. Never admit responsibility for the accident.
3. Check to see if anyone needs urgent medical care.
4. Contact the police (you need a police report to file an insurance claim).
5. Limit your conversation about the accident with the other party.
6. Get the facts of your car accident (names, address, license plate, phone number, etc).
7. Speak to an attorney before your insurance company, especially if you have injuries.
Sometimes when an adjuster does not offer a fair settlement, alternative methods of dispute resolution are necessary. Your lawyer is prepared to handle your arbitration, mediation, or trial when necessary.

For the Accident.com founders, that question was: “Why is getting paid by insurance companies such a frustrating experience?" Frustrating is an understatement. Navigating the world of insurance is confusing, stressful and a step backward in time (hello, call centers). Even when they know they are covered, people know insurance companies make more money if they pay you less.
