Going through a car crash can take its toll physically, emotionally, and financially. Many victims don’t realize that their damages may cost much more than what an insurance company initially offers. Their injuries can cause them to miss work, meaning they lose the income that they would have needed to pay for medical bills, physical therapy, and other expenses.
A lawsuit is often the only way to recover the full damages you deserve after a car accident. However, it is essential to understand the costs of a suit so you can make the best decision for your situation. To get a better idea of how much your case would cost and whether bringing a lawsuit is right for you, you should consult with a personal injury lawyer right away.
Our lawyers listen carefully and compassionately to your story and investigate every detail to uncover the truth about what happened in your accident. We will explain your options and offer excellent legal advice based on our three decades of experience. Reach out to our knowledgeable legal team today at 225-263-6194.
How Much Does Hiring a Car Accident Attorney Cost?
The good news is that hiring a car accident attorney costs you nothing unless we win. This means you have nothing to lose when scheduling a consultation with us. You benefit from our experience and knowledge without paying a penny unless you decide to bring a lawsuit. If you win, we collect a reasonable fee from the compensation you are awarded, which is typically larger than the insurance settlement.
Another benefit to hiring an attorney is our ability to negotiate with insurance companies to get you a better settlement offer. We can often get a better offer from the insurer without taking the matter to court at all. We know the many needs car accident victims have, and we will fight tirelessly to get you the compensation you deserve.
