If you are looking for an injury attorney, Blaine is exactly who you looking for. Blaine fought hard for my case... With all the attorneys I contacted he is the only one who accepted my case without hesitation. He believed we had a case from the beginning and never gave up. Blaine would answer his phone at any time of day or as soon as he possibly can and will never leave you waiting for a phone call or text. Thank you Blaine and your team for always being there and not giving up on my case. We knew from the beginning that it may take some time to fight my case and may even go as far as a jury trial. I will surely seek your advise whenever I need one and will highly recommend you to all my friends and family.

I retained Blaine's services to handle a personal injury case for me. He was very attentive to my case and treats his clients with real concern for not only the case at hand but for you as a person. He was always available when I called and his staff was great to work with throughout the case. I highly reccommend Blaine Norris.

Blaine Norris and his staff performed exceptionally on my behalf in my accident case. They were very thorough and pursued every avenue to make sure I was taken care of. They were not professional, but very personable. The fees were very reasonable and I was very satisfied with my outcome. I will not hesitate to call them again or recommend this firm to anyone.

I was originally recommended her husband but she ended up taking my case. I was charged sith driving with a suspended license and pulled over under the guise of hands free and had a $2000 charge for the two citations. She got both dropped and I ended up only paying $51. I am so glad I hired here!

I have retained Phil twice personally on personal injury claims and he has performed with compassion, friendliness and as a relentless advocate. He has also done wills and powers of attorney for me and my wife and has represented my son in a very successful personal injury claim. Phil is a great lawyer and a great guy.

Phil is a low-key through lawyer who donated countless hours for my case, and he kept me informed the entire time. He handled the very uncooperative insurance adjuster, and I was very happy with his services.

I have known Mr. Weems for approximately 16 yes. He has represented not only me but many of my friends & family. He works very hard for his clients & is very dedicated & committed to getting justice for them. He is by far the only attorney I know that fights for his clients as though he is fighting for himself. He certainly takes no backlash from insurance companies nor adjusters. He earned the nickname bulldog attorney for a reason. If you need a great attorney who will truly fight for you & your rights, please call Mr. Weems. You will not be disappointed.

I was injured in a car wreck in November and called Collin a few days after my crash. I did not want the hassle of fighting insurance companies and the hospital as I am trying to recover from my severe injuries. Collins showed concern for my well being. His first concern was that I get the medical help I needed. I did not have to be concerned with fighting the insurance companies or hospital. Collin took care of all the legal process and I did not have to lift a finger. Collin is knowledgeable and Competent in his profession. A genuine good guy. I so appreciate all your hard work and will be highly recommending you to anyone who is in need of a great attorney. Thank you

Colin, Thank you for the very capable work you did on behalf of myself, my siblings, and most of all, my dear Dad. You are a quintessential professional with both the technical and human relations skills needed for this case. I had full confidence in you from the time of our initial meeting, and as the case went along, appreciated your thorough and timely updates, as well as the negotiations you performed in resolving it in the resulting settlement. I have spoken with Jon since you contacted me in late June and thanked him, so will take this opportunity to tell you I am very happy Jon referred me to you, and am grateful for everything you did individually and as a team. Please do keep us updated on the criminal case as information becomes available. With my warm regards, Anonymous

Massey Law responded quickly to my need for a lawyer after a car accident . Jeff James, my attorney, did a great job of explaining the procedures needed to ensure I was taken care of after an accident that was not my fault. Jeff and Allie Sears, the legal assistant, always responded quickly to any questions and concerns I had concerning my case.

Before calling Mr. Alan Cleveland, I was nervous about talking to an attorney since I had no prior experience and didn't know how to start the conversation or approach my case. But don't worry. From the moment you speak with him, you will know you are talking to the right expert. The entire conversation was very warm, and his great knowledge in this field was evident. Highly recommended!

I reached out to the people with Burrow and Associates In the Duluth office, they were very nice and helpful. I had a lot of questions about who to talk to, what to do after my accident. It was seamless. The long back and forth was from the at fault party, but we stayed in communication to get things done. Took a few months and I am happy with the outcome. If you ever need law attorneys that stay on top of things; reach out. Thanks Mr. Kang.

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.
