Compensation After A Car Accident
In the Las Vegas valley, auto accidents are an everyday event. However, those who are involved in an automobile accident might suffer serious injury, such as damage to bones, organs, limbs or their brain. A life can change in an instant – and legal advice is essential.
At Hanratty Law Group, our experience and representation give each client the time and attention to deal with the life-changing injuries resulting from an automobile accident. We have experience navigating cases that involve drunk driving accidents, distracted driving and neglecting to obey traffic rules or signals.
Maximizing Your Chances Of A Successful Claim
After you are in an accident, it is vital to speak to a knowledgeable injury lawyer before discussing the crash with insurance companies. Your attorney can communicate on your behalf to avoid risking the common mistake of accidentally admitting fault. Even a sympathetic apology for a crash due to another driver’s negligence could undermine your personal injury claim.
Hanratty Law Group is experienced in determining the value of serious personal injury claims, identifying the parties responsible for those injuries and identifying any and all available sources of recovery. We can help you throughout the process — particularly if your case involves complex or unique issues. We can also help answer important questions like:
What Happens After An Accident?
After you get into an accident, you should report the crash to the police, your insurance, and your personal injury lawyer. The police will help you get medical attention if you need it and provide you with a police report for your claim. Your insurance provider may quickly offer you a settlement for your injuries, and your attorney can help you negotiate for a settlement that can cover the cost of your injuries.
What Mistakes Should You Avoid?
While you are pursuing your compensation claim, there are mistakes that you can make that could cost you the money you need. While you are in the middle of your claim, do not post about your accident or anything related to it online, do not discuss your case with anyone other than your lawyer, and never talk to the defense in your case without your car accident lawyer present.
How Long Can An Injury Claim Take?
The length of a personal injury claim depends on a lot of factors. If we can resolve your case with negotiation, and things go smoothly, it may only take a few weeks or months to secure the compensation you need. If litigation is necessary, it can take months or over a year to earn the outcome you deserve. Our goal as your legal representation is to secure the money you need in as little time as possible.
How We Can Represent You
Our firm will also diligently pursue all potential avenues of recovery for your injuries, including:
- The responsible party’s auto insurance company
