Very skilled lawyers who not only aggressively pursued our case but helped us understand and manage an overwhelming amount of medical bills and insurance claims. They kept us informed at every step of the way. They were always available to answer our questions and spend the time necessary to make sure we understood our options. We could not have asked for better representation from our lawyers. We felt they genuinely care about us, not only our legal well-being, but our financial and medical well-being. We would give them the very highest recommendation.

I met Wayne under horrible conditions. A trip to Puerto Rico ended in an automobile accident. Once I returned to the states, I was referred to Wayne for my case. He makes a very scary and trying time manageable. He explains his process and his plans, and walks you through step by step. The support staff is great as well. Everyone knows you by name and never forgets you, even 20 years later. Unfortunately I've had to use Wayne's services several times, but even for issues that aren't personal injury, I know I can always count on Wayne!

I was in Philadelphia at least a year ago and I got into an accident. I needed a personal injury lawyer. I checked the yellow pages and asked my friends and family. They recommended Wayne Goldenberg. I was lucky he was able to take my case and he got my case settled within a short-time in my favor. Thanks,

I engaged Mr. Feldman after interviewing three law firms to handle my FINRA Securities Complaint. From the outset, Mr. Feldman was attentive, understanding, objective, and insightful. His talent and experience were of significant benefit in pursuing our case. Mr. Feldman's staff and expert witness were of the highest caliber. Mr. Feldman's skills as a litigator were clearly evident during our Mediation and Arbitration sessions. I could not have had a better representative handling my case than Attorney Joel Feldman and I give him my highest recommendation.

I was injured in a car accident. This was my first time involved in any type of litigation. I sincerely hope it to be my last, but I would absolutely work with Renae again if the need arises. She was helpful in explaining the process and easy to reach if I had questions. She was very friendly to me, but she is a force to be reckoned with if you are the opposing party. I was present at depositions and found myself thankful she was on MY side of the table! Overall, Renae makes the process as painless as possible for her clients and I highly recommend her services if you have been injured and need someone to be your advocate.

I was working in the construction industry as an electrician when I was injured when a malfunctioning tool struck me in the side of the face. I was devastated to have left the ER with what the doctors told me was undoubtedly a permanent scar in front of my ear under neath the stitches. I felt hopeless and very insignificant, I had been permanently disfigured by one of the largest tool manufacturers in the world and there was nothing I could do about it. A family memeber recommended I speak to a lawyer which seemed like a waste of time because I was just me and they were Milwaukee tools. After getting in touch with Mr. Boland he assured me he would fight for me with all his might and hold this massive company accountable. Thinking this was an insurmountable task I reluctantly signed the papers and it was the best decision I have ever made. From that moment forward I felt like i was in control. He did as promised and without lifting another finger I had a check in my hand before I knew it. Not only did Mr. Boland deliver on his promise, he made me feel like I was his only client, answering his phone everytime I called after just a ring or two and treating me with professionalism and respect. To him I wasn’t just a crummy construction worker, like the first couple attorneys I spoke too made me feel, he made me feel like an equal peer, a person who had been wronged by a large company and he was going to make it right for me. Mr. Boland brought Milwaukee tools to their knees delivering exactly what I asked for, and I never had to step foot in a court room, and for that I’m eternally grateful. Thank you Mr. Boland, not only for delivering on your promise, but more importantly giving me a voice when I felt like I had none.

Ms. Santiago is MY attorney life! I am a retired US Marine, and in the Corps we thrive in achieving the MISSION by using a cluster of leadership skill sets unique to the US Marine Corps. I believe with all of my heart, Ms. Santiago is a true leader in providing the best legal services for her clients. She is a great listener....."have a seat an d relax" she told me when I first entered her office stressed out about my 20 year old situation. Once she listened to my story and reviewed my documentation; I could see on her face she had an idea of how to approach my case. She explained to me her what her initial plan would be. When I left her office (PA case); and drove 900 miles back to my home in Alabama; I felt in my heart I was in good hands. After a full year (6/13 to 6/14) of probing into what I think is a "psychotic child support system in PA"; she was able to resolve my case; get my passport reinstated, block attempts by others to freeze my assets while my case was before a judge and reduce my payments. In 12/14, someone in that "psychotic child support system" entered another asset freeze on my account while I am out of country in the Philippines(10,000 miles away). I emailed Ms. Santiago of this; and she diligently and professionally" resolved the situation for me. In closing, I want to thank Ms. Santiago for the hard work and time she put into helping this old Leatherneck. You are a true champion of your craft....the tip of the legal defense spear. I salute you for " A JOB WELL DONE!" Semper Fi

I got in a car accident and hurt my back. I was recommended to Eli by a friend and hired him to represent me on my insurance claim after consulting with a few other attorneys. Eli's primary focus was getting me treatment for my injuries first and foremost. He helped me find the best doctors in the city for my injuries and worked out an arrangement so I don't have to pay for treatment out of pocket, which is important since I don't have medical insurance. Eli is also extremely responsive and always gets back to me almost immediately with any questions or concerns I may have - always the same day, usually the same hour. The personal attention he gave to my case means that he gives each of his clients the personal attention that they deserve. My case is still ongoing, but i'm very confident that I will get favorable results and would highly recommend Eli to anyone who is looking for capable & trustworthy legal representation.

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.
