Car Accidents Happen Fast, So Should Your Settlement

In the blink of an eye, lives can be changed forever. Your quality of life and livelihood may be impacted by soft tissue injuries such as whiplash or by more serious trauma to your head, back, neck and knees. Worse yet, a loved one may have wrongfully died in a fatal accident.

If you are forced to remain out of work due to your injuries and you have incurred significant bills for medical treatment and rehabilitation, you may wonder how you will ever meet your financial obligations. You may be tempted to take the first offer proposed by the insurance company just to make ends meet. Resist that temptation; a personal injury lawyer can help ensure you are getting a fair settlement and even take your case to trial if necessary to protect your rights.

Our legal team knows how the insurance industry operates. Companies will send a friendly, seemingly caring representative to talk to you and to win your trust. They may try to take a recorded statement or get you to accept an offer to settle your claim before you even know the full extent of your injuries. Any settlement offer is usually significantly lower than what you need and deserve.

Take Care of Yourself, Then Contact Us

After an car accident, the most important step is to take care of yourself and your family's medical needs. Even if you feel that your injuries are not serious, you should still seek medical attention – sometimes the most catastrophic injuries grow out of seemingly minor ones. For example, closed head injuries can actually leave little or no external damage, yet they can have devastating effects on your body. You will also need to file an insurance claim for your personal injury. Even though you will need to contact the insurance company to make the initial claim, it is wise to seek legal advice before you have a substantive conversation with an insurance company representative or you make a recorded statement.

At Lakeman & Peagler, we have built a history of successful results and have handled numerous personal injury cases involving:

Cars, motorcycles, SUVs/trucks
Commercial vehicles, delivery vehicles, 18-wheelers
Municipal vehicles, buses, light rail

Additionally, we are experienced in obtaining compensation for victims injured by uninsured or underinsured motorists or drunk drivers.
