Dallas Auto Accident - Free Legal Help
1. What to do at the scene of an accident?
Ensure that you and all parties involved are alright. Immediately call 911 and ensure to tell them of those that are injured. Get the full names, phone numbers, and addresses of all witnesses to the scene if possible.
2. What to do after the accident?
Call our law firm, Fears Nachawati, and let us know you have been involved in an accident. Go to the hospital if necessary, even if it is the next day, as treatment for injuries must be procured as soon as possible. Follow up with your primary care physician and chiropractic care provider in the months following. Work with your lawyer to ensure he is handling your case diligently.
3. The Insurance Companies
Avoid giving them a statement concerning your injuries. However, work with them to resolve only the property damage portion of your claim. Consult with one of our lawyers on how damages are handled on the bodily injury portion of the claim.
4. Dealing with Adjusters
The bodily injury adjuster's goal is to persuade you that you do not need a lawyer and that you should take the money they offer you because you will not receive more at a later day. Guess again. This is almost always bad information to serve the purpose of closing a claim cheaply and in the best interest of the insurance company. Always refer these discussions to your lawyer.
5. Why you need a Lawyer?
If you retain a competent, diligent lawyer, he should be able to more often than not recover more money for you--than had you elected to handle the claim on your own--a bad idea.
6. How much does a lawyer cost?
The good news here is that there are no upfront costs to you and you do not owe our firm anything if we fail to recover on your behalf. In the event we obtain a settlement or judgment favorable to our client, standard attorneys fees range from 33 1/3 % to 40%. Even with this cost, few of my clients, if any, have ever ended up netting less than what they would have prior to hiring our firm.
7. Who pays the bills?
8. What damages am I entitled to?
I have gone through much of the important information concerning accident and bodily injury claims. Give me a call to discuss the remaining two issues 7 and 8. Our lawyers commonly handle dallas accidents, fort worth accidents, death claims, bad faith denial of insurance coverage, and dallas auto and motorcycle accidents. At Fears Nachawati, we go to war with BIG Insurance to make them pay what they rightfully owe on behalf of all of our clients.
