After an accident, you are likely in shock from the situation and in pain from your injuries. You probably don’t feel like answering questions from insurance companies or filling out insurance forms.
If you’ve been in a car wreck, the road ahead could become difficult for you. There are things you can do to help your case after someone has caused you to be in a car accident.
Besides getting immediate medical attention, here are some things you should do after a car or motorcycle accident:
Call an experienced accident attorney. Don’t assume you know all your legal rights. It’s necessary you speak with one that has developed a reputation for dealing with insurance companies and a willingness to take aggressive action when necessary. Gama Law Firm offers free consultations and works on a contingency fee basis.
Car accidents are personal affairs because they affect every facet of your life. Some attorneys may see you as a case number, but Gama Law Firm sees you as a person.
It costs you nothing out of pocket to hire us. We only get paid if you get paid.
There are several advantages to hiring Gama Law Firm right away after a serious car accident. The first thing is that, between our two attorneys, we have over 60 years of experience fighting these cases, so there's not much we haven't already seen.
Second, we do our own investigation because we believe it's too important to leave this to an investigator or inexperienced legal assistant. We talk to witnesses, take pictures, consult with experts, such as an accident reconstructionist, if necessary; and investigate other details such as weather and traffic reports.
If you do not have health insurance to begin paying for your medical care, Gama Law Firm can help you find doctors who are willing to treat you and postpone payment for care. Only after you have been discharged by your doctors or reached something that is sometimes called “MMI” (Maximum Medical Improvement), Richard will prepare a settlement package for the negligent driver’s insurance company and try to negotiate a fair settlement.
Most cases are resolved with an out-of-court settlement. If the insurance company refuses to compensate you fairly for your injuries, financial losses – such as medical bills and lost income – and pain and suffering, you may have to file a lawsuit. Although lawsuits are generally expensive and time-consuming, sometimes there is no other way to get you the compensation you deserve. If we have to go to Court, you have two experienced litigation attorneys, one being a FORMER JUDGE (Joe Richard Gama), on your side every step of the way.
Gama Law Firm offers a free no-pressure case evaluation. Between our two attorneys, we have over 60 years of experience handling these personal injury / auto accident cases, and in all that time there's not much that we haven't already seen and solved. Let our experience work for you in getting the compensation you deserve. Call today and get that peace of mind you've been looking for.
