Many car accidents are caused by the negligence or reckless driving of others. Unfortunately, over 30,000 people each year suffer wrongful death from car accidents that were not their fault. Even if the accident does not result in death, you may suffer serious injuries that impact your ability to work and take care of your family. Reach out to a car accident lawyer for help.
Contact TopDog Law immediately after the accident and prior to speaking with the insurance company. We have a national network of car accident attorneys who can maximize your compensation or settlement. We can connect you with a local attorney who can conduct a free insurance review and a comprehensive investigation of the accident. They will fight hard to ensure you get the best outcome possible.
It costs absolutely nothing to see if you have a case
First and foremost, you are always compensated for your injury in nearly every state. The first source of compensation is your insurance company. In many states, every driver is required to have insurance. This is what is called a “no-fault state” for car insurance coverage, meaning that you are compensated by the insurance company whether or not you or the other driver caused the crash.
Usually, your insurance company will cover up to $15,000 worth of damages. However, working with a car accident attorney can often help you recover much more than what the insurance provider is prepared to offer for your injuries.
In an at-fault state, car accident claims are handled a little differently. The insurance companies of both drivers will make a decision regarding who is at fault for the car accident and to what percentage. Liability in car accident cases in these states is often not straightforward.
Working with a car accident attorney will help ensure that your share of fault, if any, is not exaggerated or misrepresented in your claim and that you’re able to pursue the full amount of compensation you’re entitled to.
The best way to answer this question is to contact TopDog Law Personal Injury Lawyers. We’ll connect with an attorney near you who can advise you of your rights and options. CALL 844-576-2116 to get started.
This is the most common cause of car accidents. Examples of driver error include speeding, driving under the influence, following too closely, failing to yield to the right of way, and disregarding traffic control devices.
The second most common reason why the other driver may be at fault, and you are entitled to additional compensation from a car accident, is because he or she rear-ended your vehicle. Rear-end collisions occur when the front end of a car crashes into the back end of another vehicle. Frequently, rear-end collisions are caused by intoxication or cell phone use. On Interstate 76 and Interstate 95, in particular, rear-end collisions are far too common, resulting in serious injuries or death. Even if you believe your symptoms are less serious, it is best to seek medical treatment immediately after the accident.
In 2015, 391,000 injuries were caused by distracted driving-related accidents. Driver distraction is the cause of 58% of accidents involving teens. While the biggest problem is texting, other distractions include GPS, music, makeup, reading, and many more.
It is easy to dismiss a car accident as a fender-bender. Particularly when a car is traveling at a slow rate of speed, many mistakenly assume he or she will walk away from the accident with no injuries. Far too often, however, symptoms like whiplash present themselves days after the accident. While whiplash may seem insignificant at first, it can cause permanent neck injuries that impact you for the rest of your life.
More serious car accident injuries that often occur following a car accident are brain injuries and spinal cord injuries. A traumatic brain injury (TBI) occurs following a car accident far more frequently than most people realize. The same is true for a spinal cord injury (SCI). Importantly, the symptoms of these more serious injuries may take weeks to set in following a car accident.
Regardless of what kind of injuries you sustained in your car accident case, you deserve full and fair compensation when someone else’s negligence is involved. TopDog Law can connect you with an experienced car accident attorney who can help make sure that your car accident claim is valued accurately and that your compensation includes not only the cost of your medical bills and expenses but also all additional damages associated with the crash.
If you have suffered any sort of injury as a result of a car accident and think you may be entitled to compensation, fill out the free case evaluation below or call 844-576-2116
A good car accident attorney will never leave money on the table. A personal injury attorney from our network will look closely at your case and your circumstances to determine what compensation you’re eligible for and negotiate toward a fair settlement or verdict at all costs.
When you're involved in a car crash, you'll likely be facing more than just medical bills and time off of work; you might be feeling the financial impact of missed income, lost job opportunities, or lost benefits for months or even years to come. Your car accident settlement should include financial compensation that accounts for all of those losses.
Even a minor car crash can leave you with significant injuries. Your personal injury lawyer will take care to evaluate how much your current and future medical costs will amount to so that you can continue receiving the treatment you need to stay on the road to recovery.
A car accident with a negligent driver can leave you with emotional and psychological effects, even long after the accident happened. Car accident victims deserve to know their legal rights to be compensated not only for their financial losses, but also for the pain, suffering, and life-changing effects that an accident can have on an individual and their loved ones. A compassionate auto accident attorney will work hard to make sure that these losses are treated seriously in your personal injury claim.
The short answer is nothing. The auto accident lawyers we work with handle cases on a contingency basis. They don’t get paid unless you get paid. They also cover all the up-front costs for expenses like experts who we will use to testify on your behalf. Therefore, they have every incentive to ensure that they get you the most compensation possible for your injury. CALL 844-576-2116 and tell us your story today.
The best way to ensure that you receive the maximum settlement in your case is to follow the procedures outlined below.
Most states require drivers to call the police when a car accident causes injuries or damages over a certain amount. A trained law enforcement officer will provide help if you've experienced injuries or damages by accurately recording what happened in their police report, getting you medical or roadside assistance if you have not already, and ensuring the other driver cooperates if they are at fault.
It's critical to gather evidence while it's still fresh. One problem we've encountered is missing information in the accident report taken by the police. For that reason, we urge you to write down the following:
Due to the sudden impact of a car accident, it is important to be cautious. Injuries like whiplash can take days to manifest. Thus, you may feel ok immediately after the accident, only for symptoms to arise in the days following. Other, more serious injuries, like brain injuries (TBI) or spinal cord injuries, may take even longer for you to notice.
Therefore, we strongly advise scheduling an appointment with your doctor even if you do not feel that it is necessary. Often, the longer you wait to get medical care, the more difficult it is for us to get you maximum compensation. When you seek prompt treatment, your medical records will show that you did everything you could to take care of yourself and prevent your injuries from getting worse.
The most important piece of advice is to never talk to the other driver's insurance company until you have consulted a lawyer. Insurance companies manipulate. They intentionally utilize strategies to force you to admit fault. This will hinder your ability to collect maximum compensation from them. The best car accident attorney for you is someone who will be prepared to respond to these strategies and know how to counter them effectively.
Contact TopDog Law Personal Injury Lawyers or CALL 844-576-2116 to get connected to a local attorney who has your best interests at heart.
After contacting your attorney, the lawyer should be helpful in guiding you through the remainder of the process. That includes speaking with your insurance company. A percentage of your driver's insurance is dedicated toward medical expenses in the event of an accident. A lawyer can help you get as much as possible from your insurance company before you file a lawsuit against the other driver.
