A recent car accident may have left you or a loved one with serious injuries, medical bills, and other damages. The whole family may be affected by the incident. However, the at-fault party is liable for covering all of your and your family’s damages. Your only responsibilities are to your health and your family.
A Brentwood car accident lawyer from our firm can establish the other party’s liability and resolve your case for you, and if your lawyer doesn’t obtain a settlement or verdict for you, your lawyer won’t charge you for their service. We can tell you more during a free consultation.
Your personal injury incident and injuries may be affecting you physically, mentally, emotionally, and financially. However, you can claim all of these types of damages through an insurance claim or lawsuit.
A Brentwood car accident lawyer from our firm can help you identify and claim all of your tangible and intangible damages which may include:
You and your family may be in a very different situation right now. If a family member lost their life in a recent accident, you can demand certain damages through a wrongful death lawsuit.
Such wrongful death damages can be:
The party that caused the accident is liable for your damages, but your lawyer will have to fully establish the party’s liability for your damages with the insurance company. This requires showing evidence of negligence and demonstrating the elements of negligence in your case.
There may be many sources of evidence in your case. Your medical bills and other bills can serve as evidence of your damages, and the following may serve as evidence of the other party’s negligence:
Showing evidence of negligence isn’t enough. Your lawyer will also have to show how the evidence establishes each of the four elements of negligence in your case. These are:
There’s a lot more your Brentwood car accident lawyer will have to do so you can recover your due damages. In addition to determining what all of your damages are and establishing the other party’s liability, your lawyer will have to negotiate with the insurer for your settlement. If negotiations don’t resolve your case, your lawyer may have to litigate your case with a judge for a case verdict. However, negotiations may quickly resolve your case.
Negotiations can be complicated, especially when an insurer doesn’t cooperate in good faith. For instance, an insurer might diminish a claimant’s damages. Your lawyer will be prepared to deal with such a tactic. Your lawyer will have added up your financial losses and attributed monetary values to your non-financial losses using a valuation method the insurer will likely recognize and approve of. If the insurer still doesn’t cooperate, your lawyer can threaten to sue them.
Litigation is also very complicated. First, your lawyer will have to meet the filing deadline for a personal injury lawsuit in Pennsylvania, which is two years from the date of an accident, per Pa. C.S.A. ยง 5524. Your lawyer will also have to negotiate with a judge, and your lawyer may even hire an expert to provide corroborating evidence and testimony in court.

To date, our attorneys have managed tens of thousands of cases and have had many successes. We’d like your case to become our next success story.

Green, has over 40 years of experience resolving personal injury cases, and our entire team benefits from that experience.

Your lawyer won’t charge you any fees at all until your case resolves and unless your case resolves with a settlement or a verdict. You’ll simply pay your lawyer a small portion of the recovery amount. This is called a contingency-fee arrangement, and our clients appreciate how affordable it is.
