Working with Sanchez and Brown was an incredible experience. Both attorneys were so quick to help answer questions about my case while being so kind and understanding. Going through a traumatic experience with a car accident was no easy task however attorney Brown was very patient with me and understanding. My case was settled in a timely manner and I am so happy to have a resolution. Thank you to both attorneys, Marisol and Morgan for all of the help throughout this process. I will absolutely recommend this law firm to anyone I know. 🙂

Dan Brown is on the mark with every aspect of his cases. He is empathetic, competent, professional and a great communicator. You will feel like you are in great hands and will never feel intimidated by all the legal jargon – instead you will actually feel like “family”. There is no “lip service” telling you what you want to hear, he knows the laws will guide you with the utmost support. Without hesitancy I would secure this law firm; everyone you deal with is caring and professional and aggressive when you need it most. Sanchez & Brown Law Firm is hands down the best in the industry!

I can't say enough about Dean Reed, I am so happy I picked him to handle my bankruptcy case. I had a rather complex case and he answered my zillions of questions and always responded quickly and eased my mind every step of the way. He never got aggravated or short with me on any question I had and was always kind and patient. He knows his stuff and is a pro and stays on top of your case!!! While I was searching for an attorney I read some other attorney reviews before I found Dean and some complaints of those other attorney's were questions not being answered, no call backs and being left in the dark. This is so not the case with Dean. You are in contact every step of the process. Please do yourself a favor and don't look any further for an attorney. You will be very pleased if you pick him. I know I am happy. :)

This firm was absolutely incredible. Being severely injured in an accident I didn’t cause, caused its own struggles including financials and Chad and Chris were absolutely amazing to work with. They always kept me informed (I can’t even count the amount of emails between Chris and I), fought for me, and continuously reinforced how glad I was to work with them. When you choose them, know you’re choosing real people who genuinely care about you/your situation and want to provide you with as much financial justice as possible. I would highly recommend them to anyone! Thanks to the whole team!

Worked with Chris and Olivia for a Personal injury case. Olivia helped talk me through the plan and what next steps to take and Chris kept me updated throughout the whole process of the claim. They took all the stress off of my shoulders and let me focus on recovering. We ended up settling and I couldn’t be more relieved that I went with them! Definitely recommending them to anyone I can!

I recently had the pleasure of being represented by Shannon Sullivan, and I must say, the experience was nothing short of exceptional. From the onset, the communication was clear, consistent, and reassuring. Shannon was incredibly attentive to my needs, answering all my questions with patience and depth. I am immensely grateful for the support and guidance provided and I would highly recommend their services to anyone in need of legal assistance.

Joe Lenti was in charge of our Title transaction on the purchase of our new home. From the very start of the process we did not have a good experience. Our mortgage lender contacted his office office for two plus weeks without receiving a response. Throughout the process Joe felt it was better to argue about how he was right, rather than how to close the transaction on time and without additional cost to us. Our closing was delayed and cost me an additional $700. I expressed my frustration to Joe and asked to be compensated for the delay and additional cost we incurred due to his mistakes, but he refused and told me to go elsewhere if I was unhappy. Unfortunately we were in a rock and a hard place needing to close on the home before we lost our deposit and interest rate lock. I am very disappointed with Joe’s service and unprofessional behavior.

What a Car Accident Lawyer Can Do for You

A car accident lawyer specializes in representing individuals who have been injured in motor vehicle accidents. These lawyers help victims secure compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, pain and suffering, and other losses resulting from a car crash. They also negotiate with insurance companies, investigate the cause of the accident, and, if necessary, represent clients in court to ensure they receive fair compensation.

If you've been injured in a car accident - whether as a driver, passenger, cyclist, or pedestrian - a car accident lawyer can help protect your rights, navigate the insurance claims process, and ensure you receive the compensation you're entitled to.

When Should I Hire a Car Accident Lawyer?

Consider hiring a car accident lawyer in several situations, especially when the accident results in injuries, property damage, or disputes with the insurance company. Key situations include:

  • Serious injuries: If you’ve suffered significant injuries, such as broken bones, spinal injuries, or traumatic brain injuries, a lawyer can help you seek compensation for medical expenses, future treatment, and pain and suffering.
  • Disputes with the insurance company: If your insurance claim has been denied or the insurance company offers an unreasonably low settlement, a lawyer can negotiate on your behalf to ensure you get fair compensation.
  • Liability disputes: If the other driver’s insurance company is disputing fault or claiming you were partially at fault, a lawyer can gather evidence to prove the other party’s negligence.
  • Wrongful death: If a loved one was killed in a car accident, a lawyer can help the family pursue a wrongful death claim to recover compensation for funeral expenses, loss of companionship, and other damages.
  • Uninsured or underinsured driver: If the at-fault driver lacks sufficient insurance coverage, a lawyer can help you explore other compensation options, such as filing a claim with your own insurance company.
  • Complex cases: Accidents involving multiple vehicles, commercial trucks, or complicated circumstances require legal expertise to manage complexities and hold all responsible parties accountable.

Hiring a lawyer early in the process can help ensure that your rights are protected and that you receive the full compensation you deserve.

What Does a Car Accident Lawyer Do?

A car accident lawyer provides various legal services to help injured individuals pursue compensation for their injuries and losses. Their responsibilities often include:

  • Investigating the accident: Gathering evidence like police reports, witness statements, photos, and video footage to determine how the accident occurred and who was at fault.
  • Filing insurance claims: Assisting clients in filing claims with their insurance company and the at-fault driver’s insurer to ensure all necessary documentation is submitted correctly.
  • Negotiating settlements: Working with insurance adjusters to secure fair compensation for medical bills, property damage, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
  • Calculating damages: Determining the full extent of your damages, including current and future medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, lost income, and non-economic damages like pain and suffering.
  • Handling medical bills: Coordinating with healthcare providers to ensure your medical bills are paid and helping you avoid financial hardship during the claims process.
  • Filing lawsuits: If the insurance company refuses a fair settlement, the lawyer can file a lawsuit and represent you in court.
  • Representing you in court: Presenting your case before a judge and jury, providing evidence and witness testimony to prove negligence and your right to compensation.

How Are Car Accident Lawyers Paid?

Most car accident lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they only get paid if they win or settle your case. The key aspects include:

  • Contingency fee: The lawyer’s fee is typically between 25% and 40% of the total settlement or award. You won't pay upfront fees; the lawyer's payment comes from the compensation they recover for you.
  • No fee if no recovery: If the lawyer doesn’t secure compensation for you, you generally don't owe any legal fees.
  • Case expenses: You may be responsible for certain costs related to your case, such as filing fees or expert witness fees. These are usually deducted from the settlement after the lawyer's fee is paid.

Discuss the fee structure during your initial consultation to understand how much you'll owe if your case is successful.

How Much Does a Car Accident Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a car accident lawyer is generally based on the contingency fee arrangement. General estimates include:

  • Contingency fee percentage: Lawyers typically charge between 25% and 40% of the total settlement or award. For example, if you receive a $100,000 settlement and the lawyer's fee is 33%, the lawyer would receive $33,000, and you'd keep the remaining $67,000.
  • Case expenses: Additional costs such as court filing fees, expert witness costs, and administrative fees can range from $1,000 to $10,000 or more, depending on the case complexity.

Ensure you get a clear explanation of fees and expenses during your consultation.

Top Questions to Ask a Car Accident Lawyer

Before hiring a car accident lawyer, consider asking the following questions:

  1. What experience do you have with car accident cases?
    Confirm the lawyer has handled cases similar to yours, especially involving serious injuries or complex liability issues.
  2. How do you charge for your services?
    Understand the contingency fee percentage and any additional costs you may incur.
  3. What is the likelihood of success in my case?
    Seek an honest assessment of your case's strengths and potential challenges.
  4. How long will the process take?
    Get an estimate of the timeline for settling or taking the case to trial.
  5. Will you handle my case personally?
    Ensure you know who will be managing your case and their level of involvement.
  6. What kind of compensation can I expect?
    Ask about the types of damages you may be entitled to, including medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

How to Check the Credibility of a Car Accident Lawyer

To ensure you're hiring a reputable lawyer, take the following steps:

  • Check their bar status: Verify with your state bar association that the lawyer is licensed and in good standing.
  • Review their experience: Look for specialization in personal injury and car accident cases.
  • Read client reviews: Consult platforms like Avvo or Martindale-Hubbell for testimonials and ratings.
  • Ask for references: Request contact information of previous clients willing to discuss their experience.
  • Check professional affiliations: Membership in organizations like the American Association for Justice (AAJ) indicates a commitment to the field.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To maximize the effectiveness of your initial meeting, bring the following:

  • Police report: A copy of the accident report filed by the police.
  • Medical records: Documentation of your injuries, treatments, and medical expenses.
  • Photos and videos: Any visual evidence from the accident scene and of your injuries.
  • Insurance information: Copies of your insurance policy and any correspondence with insurance companies.
  • Witness information: Contact details and statements from any witnesses.
  • List of questions: Prepared questions about your case and the legal process.

Being well-prepared helps the lawyer assess your case accurately and advise you on the best course of action.
