What Will Our Attorneys Do?
Every automobile and truck accident case is different. This is why our Tuscaloosa car accident attorneys apply a customized and case-specific approach to each client's claim. Many firms take a general, cookie cutter approach to every car and truck accident claim. Typically, this negatively impacts a client's case and ultimately results in a significantly lower settlement for the client. Our tailored approach to each car accident claim is very hands-on and will include, but not limited to:
- Gathering all details from the client. No detail is unimportant. Cases can often turn on the smallest of details, sometimes overlooked by less thorough lawyers.
- Talking with witnesses and getting information from them about what happened.
- Talking with law enforcement personnel that investigated the accident about what they observed at the scene and what evidence they collected.
- Collecting all physical and forensic evidence, such as photographs, property damage, skid marks, cell phone data, vehicle downloads, etc.
- Accident reconstruction work with expert witnesses. Some cases simply have to be reconstructed by an expert to determine precisely what happened.
- Gathering all of your medical records and bills to substantiate your injuries and to establish that your injuries were caused by the subject accident.
- Making sure you get the medical treatment you need. If you don't have health insurance, our team will get you to healthcare providers that can provide you treatment.
- Talking with your doctors about your injuries to determine your prognosis and to assess whether you suffered a permanent injury.
- Determining what your future medical needs will be if you need ongoing medical treatment.
- Gathering any lost wage documentation that may be applicable and assess any potential for future lost wages.
- Routinely checking in with our clients to see how they are doing and to determine what they might need during the pendency of their claim. Our team of attorneys is second to none when it comes to client communication and returning phone calls.
Insurance Companies Are Not on Your Side
Whether it be the automobile insurance company for the at-fault driver or your own insurance company, these companies are not out to act in your best interest. Yes, your own insurance company has a higher duty and responsibility to you than the at-fault driver's insurance company. However, make no mistake, all insurance companies are in the business of making money. The more they save on claims, the more money they make.Our Legal Services are Free Unless We Win
