I had a relatively small case, but Mr. Friedman and his staff made it seem like it was their only case. They were super easy to get ahold of, and ended up getting me the max settlement. I would recommend him to all my family and friends. Just left his office with a sizable check. Thank you, Mr. Friedman!

My wife, son and I, had the unfortunate experience when we were rear-ended at a traffic light on July 1st 2016. A friend referred Hale Injury Law for free advice on what we should do about the pain we were feeling approximately a week or so after our accident. From the moment we met the The great folks at Hale, we were treated as family and guided in the right direction in what to do with the unfortunate accident... the end result was absolutely a blessing as our pain is gone and we are able to move forward with a fresh start in our life... I'd recommend Hale Injury law for any kind of accident because they will bend over backwards to make sure you received the help you need... THANK YOU SO MUCH HALE!

I am beyond happy with my case results. Everything was perfect. The prompt communication and the fact that immediate medical attention was arranged is simply remarkable. Puneet Garg was extremely helpful. He looked out for me from the beginning till the end of the case. Every minor problem that we had was immediately addressed and resolved. I already have recommended a friend and will continue to do so as he is an honest lawyer! I wish I knew Puneet earlier so he could have handled my other cases too!

I was injured in an accident over a year ago and did not know what to do because it was my first accident and went to a local Law Firm that ended up letting me go after months of thinking they would take care of my case. I was at a list of what to do so I prayed and one day was given the number to the Nettles Law Firm. Immeditely, from the very first conversations with the firm I was utterltly and throughly impressed with each and every single person I spoke with and that handled my case. They make you feel so at ease and made me feel like I was family and that they would completely take care of any of my worries or uncertainties. They were in contact with me consistently and always assured me if I had any questions they were more than happy to answer them and they really meant it because I had tons of questions and they always were so kind and had patience with me!! What I also really loved about this law firm was the honesty. They did not make me feel pressured or like they were 'money hungry' but that they were truly out for my best interest at heart. They always gave me options and asked what did I want to do that would be best for me. I really appreciated that in this firm. They ultimately ended up getting me even more than I could have expected or prayed for a with a check in hand right in time for the Christmas tree! This Law firm treated me like gold and I praise God for their knowledge, sweetness, professional conduct, patience, honesty, and making me happy with getting my case finalized!! This is the only Law Firm I will recommend because they are truly the best and I am extremely gratful to this amazing group of Lawyers. Again, Thank you for everything you did and do to change people's life's.

How lucky was I to receive excellent legal representation AND compassionate consideration throughout my workers compensation case? Extremely lucky. My career ending injury was already devastating, and left me vulnerable to a legal system that could have taken advantage of me. Could have, but then I hired Brian Nettles to handle my case. From that day on, Brian's legal care of my case, how he put my family at ease, from pushing me in my wheelchair, to referrals to other legal disciplines, all above and beyond job description. Extremely lucky indeed. Thank you Brian.

I have gone to Mark more than once for legal advice. Each time he has explained the law to me in an easy way to understand but he didn't leave it there he still took the extra time to research how it would apply to me specifically. But best of all after considering my situations he provided other options for me to try before hiring an attorney and they've worked. Mark gives great advice and I will go back to him again.

I have found them to be fair in their contracts, making sure they do not get a bigger part of the settlement than me. Mark has been very thorough digging up pertinent facts that make our case even stronger than before.

One of the most bad faith if not immoral work I’ve ever seen. This office works for their own pockets and not your treatment. Paid $24,000.00 for a years worth of ibuprofen only treatment. Case managers and lawyers are hard to get in contact to and answer phone calls as if you were bothering them. My case manager was Michelle, and my lawyer was Dayne. Doctors contracted by the office will hyper inflate the medical bills to then have wiggle rooms for the lawyers to be able to ask for “reductions”, which in fact only means lowering the price enough so the client can have at least leave with a lousy settlement. If you want to be better taken care of I advise taking your case to DeCastroverde law group.

The Law Office is in a modern building and a safe location. The receptionist seemed efficient. The lawyer with whom I consulted,Bill Potter, was friendly and welcoming. I was there for advice on a potential criminal violation. Although we were visiting one of his areas of expertise, it was apparent he had done further homework. Bill managed to put my mind at ease vis-a-vis present actions and future conduct and application. It would have been easy for him to leave an option for further action and expense, but he clarified probable futility of such. I left with my qualms, fears, and reservations allayed. I got a distinct vibe of integrity from Bill and would unhesitatingly recommend him for criminal concern.

The RIGHT Lawyers is HIGHLY Recommended! From my first phone call to the firm, to my last interaction with them, they have been extremely responsive, efficient, professional and knowledgeable. They offered compassion and knowledge that helped me through the divorce. The guidance of Rock and team was very helpful when it came to making decisions on the divorce. They offered insight, logic and perspective in a time of high emotions. I did not feel that Rock and team were in this to empty my checkbook! In fact, Rock had often times reminded me of the value of the battle with the plaintiff. He would often remind me that it would cost more to fight over some household kitchen items than it would be to just let the other party have it. It was a hard concept to let go of, but he was correct. Bottom line is he offered logic when I could not think clearly during the divorce! The RIGHT Lawyers offers the flat fee which I think is easy to work with and offered less stress than having to calculate and keep track of hours, etc. I got more than I expected with the RIGHT Lawyers. I highly recommend this team of professionals!

Dont belive the great speech that Linda gives you about how honest they are, its all BS .. Awful experience. First of all, nobody ever contacted me about anything, I have to investigate my case by my own. If you call them, they will only answer after they get annoyed, but still, nobody knows anything about my case. They never put a lean on my accounts, so I was sent to collections for several medical bills, and be aware that they not only take 33% they also charge you over $1000 for office fees( event though they do nothing my case was settled by the insurance company)... After the settlement I got less money than they did, I have to pay all my medical bills out my packet. My credit score is so low I can't even get a job. Still waiting for the camera footage that they were supposed to send me, but of course that would never happen.

Let me put it this way so everyone can understand... Would you trust a pet rattle snake? Would you even have a pet rattle snake? Then ask yourself, Would you have Jeffrey Sloane as an attorney?. Any good reviews on this individual are probably fake. Any retorts from him would also be false.

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.
