In my experience with Jordan Taylor and his staff, I was treated very well and they were beyond helpful with my personal and legal situations. I had been in a terrible motorcycle accident the year prior and they were helping with the repercussions from that. I had also just lost my only son and they were very empathetic. I would highly recommend them.

I was impressed by Beau and the experience he offered my friend in her injury crash. The entire staff at Beau Harlan Law Firm was professional and followed through before/during/and after the trial. Anybody injured in a car accident should hire Beau Harlan if they can. My friend was rewarded over 160k more than the original settlement offered. Beau and his team fought hard for her case, and what was rightfully owed to her. Whenever going through trauma in life, it is nice to have somebody in your court who is well prepared, and has your back. Beau is that guy.

I hired The Harlan Law Firm to handle a matter where I was injured by a driver that ran a red light and t-boned my vehicle. Prior to trial the defendant’s insurance company offered to settle the case for $38,000.00. At Mr. Harlan’s direction we rejected the offer, went to trial, and the jury returned a verdict for $200,000.00. I strongly encourage anybody injured in a car accident to hire Beau Harlan for representation.

We interviewed three different Lawyers before going with Beau. Beau and his team, always answered any questions we had, walked us through what would happen and what to expect. He fought for me until the very end. If it wasn't for his dedication and hard work I wouldn't have found out about my injury. I was very confident that Beau would have my best interest at heart and felt very comfortable trusting him with my case. I thank him and his team for helping me through a very difficult time in my life. I highly recommend Beau Harlan.

Don, and his assistant Kim, handled my personal injury/auto accident claim. They were both warm and friendly, kept me informed and completely in charge, every step of the way. They answered all of my questions (and took all my calls) promptly. I was pleased with my final settlement, and actually felt a little sad that I wouldn't be speaking with them any further. I would recommend Don Jacobs to any family member or friend who needed an attorney.

I was fortunate enough to have friends in the field of law that knew Bill. He came highly recommended as an attorney to represent me after a recent auto accident injury. I gave him a call and boy am I glad I did! First of all, he knew quite a bit about my injury and helped me navigate finding the right doctors and treatments. Even with a good primary care physician, I couldn’t quite seem to figure out a roadmap that would help me address my injury and pain. But most importantly, he did a great job negotiating an excellent settlement for me. Not only that, Bill was able to make this happen before our court date. For a personal injury attorney, I would go nowhere else. Thank you Bill Robison! I am so glad to know you.

Bill Robison is an excellent and experienced personal injury attorney.I was hospitalized from an auto accident. The insurance company refused to pay anything and I was accused of things I didn't do, by the other driver and witness. My case required a great attorney and talented strategist for the truth of what actually happened in the accident to be revealed. Bills well prepared,methodical questioning in the deposition, combined with how he introduced the evidence, forced the truth to come out. Bill tailored his representation from calm, to appropriate aggressive targeted questions. Impressive balance that brought results! This led to compensation from the insurance company. Hospital bills were also handled in such a way to bring about the best financial stress relief for me .Bill is personable, and has a down to earth quality to his personality,which made a stressful situation easier to deal with .I highly recommend Bill Robison for his well prepared and strategic  approach,his calm to aggressive representation, and personable demeanor with his clients.

Bill Robison took my car accident case after I had muddled through it for over a year. I was injured severely by a 16 year old driver and had the expectation that the insurance companies would take care of me and all the bills and my car.... after a little over a year I decided I couldn't do it anymore. I contacted Bill Robison by the recommendation of a friend and it was the best decision I have EVER made. He walked me through the process, helped me understand why I wasn't getting any help from either my company or the other drivers. After he took my case I was able to concentrate on healing and moving forward with my life! Bill is the absolute best person I have ever had the pleasure of working with and he is an incredible attorney! His office staff is also amazing and their communication is excellent. You always feel they are working on just your case, that you are the priority of the day!

Look no further for a lawyer Greg Price is at the top of his game. Very friendly and quick to deal with throughout my accident settlement he left no stone un turned. He convinced my insurance company to take half of what they were asking for. He is defiantly looking out for his clients as he offered to take a smaller cut from the total settlement witch i agreed to. That took me by surprise. In the end my settlement was 3X the amount i thought i would get THANKS!

Greg represented me after being involved in a motor vehicle accident as a passenger. He came highly recommended from a family friend who works in the legal field here in Vancouver. He acted professionally throughout the entire process. He was patient and answered all of the questions that I had during this complicated legal matter. He was direct and confident about his work which helped put me at ease and rest assured that I could trust him to resolve my case. I can't imagine having to deal with this on my own without having someone so knowledgeable and trustworthy to help relieve the stress of dealing with the unknown territory of a legal matter. I am very pleased with the outcome of my case and feel that Greg was instrumental in reaching a resolution that I am happy with!

In May of 2023, I received a call that no parent wants to receive. Two of my children(young adult and teen) had been in an altercation that resulted in both potentially needing medical care and facing assault charges. Which as both of their mother, was causing a lot of grief and stress. Not only my minor had defied curfew and rules but my son had been involved. My son was on his way to a military career and a life with his new family. My daughter was trying to heal and move into preparation for college. We received a summons for court 2 weeks after my son shipped off to basic training. We thought we had handled the horrible situation within the family, created a safety plan and set very harsh boundaries. Now, the state was pressing assault 4 charges. I called my own father who is a federal attorney and asked what our next steps should be. He said hire an attorney. I scoured the internet and read through reviews. Skipping the ones that were unreal expectations not fulfilled. Mr. Priest was the only one that I could gather was going to handle the case as we needed. We called Mr. Priest, he gave us a reality check. He did not sugar coat the situation. He explained what we were facing and all possible outcomes. He did not give false hope. He made no promises. He explained a few ways to handle the case. I told my son Mr. Priest was a good choice. Mr. Priest got started and with my son being in another state, again did not give us hope that a virtual attendance was a possibility and thoroughly explained the law surrounding domestic violence cases. We never once had any unrealistic outcomes which is HUGE in these situations. We followed every thing Mr. Priest advised. When the original plan fell through, Mr. Priest had another one. Again, keeping us grounded in reality. Today, we had a trial readiness hearing scheduled and Mr. Priest had filed a motion letting the courts know we had done everything within our family to insure nothing would happen again. My son’s case was dismissed. For my son and myself, we are survivors of domestic abuse and watched our attacker walk free. We know that the court system’s time and resources could be better utilized in situations where people are at risk for horrible outcomes. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! Mr. Priest is the best choice to represent you or your loved ones.

Jack was referred to us by another attorney. Our case had been open for a few years. We thought the case would continue to linger since treatment was still ongoing. After reviewing of the case and assessment of available coverages, Jack went right to work negotiating with the insurance companies. He quickly identified coverages we were not previously considering. He kept us informed throughout the process. Jack expressed genuine concern for our well-being during the process. After just a few months we were able to settle our case receiving policy limits on all coverages available. We were very impressed with Jacks efficient handling of our case and appreciated his caring attitude and professional demeanor.

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.
