Sean did an excellent job of handling the litigation of the case against us bringing it to a successful conclusion. He was always professional, courteous, and was willing to take time to explain what was going on, keeping us in the loop, and responded quickly to any questions or concerns that we had. I would highly recommend him and would use his services again in the future if needed. Thanks again, Richard, Meyers, Joseph Merenko .

I was very happy with how my case was handled. Sean was knowledgeable and helped guide me through a process that was new to me, getting me the best treatment for my injuries as well as ample compensation for my pain in the form of settlement. I would definitely recommend Sean to anyone else facing personal injury strifes. He cares about his clients and works hard to make sure they are justly served. I feel that I have learned so much about the legal process from this experience and am so happy that I had an on point lawyer to lessen the burdens of recovery.

Joe is handling a legal business commercial matter for me at this time. I can't say a whole lot as it is ongoing but the legal competence and strategy at the firm of KTF is second to none. I have referred Joe to two other business colleagues and the feedback was over the top. One referral reported back a total shut out of the opposing council and of course victory, as for the other referral the case is ongoing with very positive feedback. Not your typical attorney here some thing much more.... Joseph F. Trinity a caring human being at the core and opposing counsels worst nightmare.

My wife and I were first introduced to Gary Meyers almost 8 years ago by several friends Mr. Meyers had previously represented in a number of lawsuits involving successful litigation. In 2008, Mr. Meyers represented us in a rather involved contractual matter that continued for almost 5 years. Responding to endless motions, Mr. Meyers ultimately obtained a jury verdict in the amount of $2.7 million verdict. He also prevailed in an appeal of that verdict, and was steadfast and relentless in his pursuit of justice until our case was finally settled on a confidential basis. Mr. Meyers’ representation on our behalf was truly a legal version of David versus a corporate Goliath. He never wavered in his sense of fairness and right. Since then we have referred many friends and business colleagues and will happily continue to do so.

Over the years, I have used a handful of legal firms. Knowing a qualified lawyer to represent your interests cannot be understated. For once I didn't have to stay on hold for endless minutes or communicate over email with a legal assistant who lacked the answers I needed. Ms. Fioravanti was attentive and responsive to my inquiries and I felt like somebody was in my corner, representing effectively my interests. It was breath of fresh air and I'm happy to recommend her to my colleagues. Great job and thank you for always picking up the phone and responding quickly!

I got my first moving violation ticket on a very busy 4th of July weekend. It was bumper to bumper traffic. The congestion was so bad a group of cars formed another lane. I only joined so I can make a left turn, away from the traffic. Unfortunately, a police officer stopped the group of cars that formed another lane. Forming another lane was illegal. I was so grateful for Attorney Abasolo to assist me. On the day I had to appear at court, the Judge granted a no moving violation with no points charged, as long as I pay the fee - just as Attorney Abasolo had advised me. I was relieved for Attorney Abasolo's helpful and professional solution to my ticket dilemma. Thank You, Attorney Abasolo.

Mr. Grudko did my mom's living will and will in 2016. He came to us, because my mom was no longer mobile, with all paperwork ready to be signed. He was compassionate, caring, professional and extremely clear in his explanations of the documents and law. And now it's my turn. I am being accorded the same compassion, consideration and professional courtesy and respect as was my mom and since I am also restricted in mobility Mr. Grudko will come to us. I have know several lawyers throughout my life but not a single one who is more clear, concise, professional and compassionate than Mr. Grudko, especially when clients are nearing end of life choices. His empathy is genuine, his knowledge specific to the situation flawless, and his work meticulous. I highly reccomend Mr. Grudko's services to anyone looking for not just a lawyer but one who has a deep understanding and empathy for what you are going through whatever the situation comprises.

I came to the Friscia and Associates law firm with a very complicated case. Had I realized just what a sisyphean task I had handed to them, I would have never proceeded. Despite the difficulty of the case, Mr. Minkove proceeded with diligence and skill. I doubt I could have found a better law firm to handle my case. I was treated with respect and dignity and kept informed of the myriad twists and turns of the proceedings. I was completely satisfied with their handling of the case and would recommend them to anyone. If they could get as far as they did on such a trying legal matter, handling the routine or even slightly complicated case would be child's play for them. They are dedicated to the ethical practice of law and a true client advocate in every sense of the word. You would do well to seek their counsel. They also have a hidden asset in their office manager, Michele, who has the calm demeanor and comforting nature of an angel, but works with the efficiency and drive of a hardened laborer. She is a marvelous asset to the office and an ambassador to the clients that cannot be underestimated. As a practicing emergency physician, I particularly regard compassionate efficiency as the highest credential. All in all, a great law firm. Sincerely, Dr. Dave

Mr. Cedar resolved one of my cases after I was told by another attorney that there wasn't anything that he could do. I'm writing this review because Mr. David Cedar deserves the praise and recognition. He and his staff are very professional and personable. It's never good to have been hurt in an automobile accident, therefore, you want and need an attorney who understands and is dedicated to fighting for you.

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.
