Steps to File Your Car Accident Claim
Your answers help us match you with a lawyer experienced in your accident type.
A personal injury lawyer will call you to book a consultation to review police reports, medical bills, and insurance offers. They will also factor in harder-to-account-for expenses using a pain and suffering calculator.
Your attorney then negotiates with insurers or files a lawsuit to recover all your expenses, lost wages, and so on.
Do I Have to Pay Before I Can Go to Court?
We work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing unless we win your settlement or trial verdict.
Why Should I Hire an Auto Accident Lawyer?
A car accident lawyer protects you from insurance companies that prioritize profits over fairness. Even minor injuries like whiplash or soft tissue damage can lead to unexpected long-term costs—physical therapy, PTSD treatment, or lost wages from a fractured sternum.
Without legal help, insurers may pressure you to accept lowball offers that ignore future medical bills or anxiety. Lawyers know your state’s deadlines and fight to secure compensation for pain and suffering, property damage, and catastrophic injuries like spinal stenosis or brain trauma.
What Is a Car Accident Settlement?
A settlement is a guaranteed payout negotiated with the at-fault driver’s insurer, avoiding the uncertainty of trial. Most cases settle because insurers want to dodge courtroom risks—like a jury awarding higher compensation for herniated discs, concussions, or wrongful death. Settlements also save time: while trials drag on for years, a skilled lawyer can secure funds for ambulance bills, car repairs, or loss of earnings within months.
That said, if negotiations fail, your attorney can still take the case to court.
When Is the Deadline to File a Lawsuit for Injuries From a Car Accident?
Every state sets strict deadlines called the "statute of limitations" for filing car accident lawsuits. You generally have between one and six years to take legal action, but some exceptions apply. Wrongful death cases, government vehicle collisions (like accidents involving city buses or police cars), and hit-and-run crashes often have much shorter filing windows—sometimes just months.
Meanwhile, insurance companies demand immediate claims, even for minor fender benders or soft tissue injuries. An experienced accident attorney can help you navigate these complex timelines, whether you're dealing with a rear-end collision, T-bone crash, or catastrophic 18-wheeler accident.

What Compensation Can I Get After a Car Accident?
A successful car accident claim can recover compensation for both economic and non-economic damages, including:
Ambulance fees, ER visits, hospitalization.
Chronic back pain, PTSD, emotional trauma, loss of enjoyment of life.
Missed wages during recovery, loss of future earnings for permanent disabilities.
Funeral costs, loss of companionship, survivor benefits.
Vehicle repairs, totaled car value, motorcycle replacement.
Wheelchairs, home modifications for spinal cord injuries.
Awarded in cases of extreme negligence (drunk driving accidents, reckless trucking companies).
Physical therapy for whiplash, surgery for herniated discs, and chiropractic visits.
For severe injuries like traumatic brain injuries, spinal fractures, or amputations, settlements often reach six or seven figures. Even minor accidents can result in substantial claims when they cause concussions, broken bones, or long-term soft tissue damage.
