How Much Is My Indian River County Car Accident Claim Worth?

Our personal injury attorneys at Whittel & Melton will assess all aspects of your car crash in order to determine a fair dollar amount to place on your claim. Every accident has what is called “hard costs” that are easy to calculate, like medical bills, car repairs or replacement costs, etc. But there are also things that don’t come along with a receipt, such as pain and suffering, mental anguish, and emotional scarring. We will factor in every detail and every injury of your specific case to come up with what we believe is a fair price to place on your car accident. Some of the questions we may ask to determine a fair dollar amount include:

• Have you suffered from PTSD following the accident?
• Are you currently dealing with depression, anxiety, and/or insomnia as a result of the crash?
• Since your accident have you suffered any memory loss?
• What are your physical limitations after the crash?
• What type of physical pain (both permanent and temporary) are you experiencing after the crash?

Do I Need a Lawyer for a Car Accident that was not My Fault?

We like to be open and honest with all of our inquiring clients, No – you are not required to have a lawyer on your side for an accident that wasn’t your fault. However, having one can help you for example dispel any claims of you being at fault in case the other drivers involved try to make any claims that you were to blame. Moreover, we can help you fight to recover maximum compensation for lost income, medical bills, car repairs, and all other types of damages that may be available to you.

We believe that if you can answer yes to the question “Are my injuries/suffering serious enough to consider making a claim for financial compensation?” then hiring a personal injury lawyer will be beneficial. Our Indian River County Car Accident Lawyers take all car accident claims on a contingency fee basis, which means you will pay us nothing if we don’t win your case. You have nothing to lose by meeting with us and weighing out your legal options. Contact us online 24/7 or call us at 866-608-5529.

Do I Have to go to Court if I Hire an Attorney?

No, not always. Most auto accident claims are actually settled out of court through negotiations between your lawyer and the insurance companies involved. If the insurance company is not cooperating in regards to what your case is worth, then we may recommend proceeding to litigation, conducting formal discovery and perhaps having a trial to make sure we get you the best possible outcome. Despite popular belief, most of the reasons for trials in our state have little to do with the lawyers involved.

How Long Will it Take to Settle My Car Indian River County Car Crash Claim?

There aren’t any laws that place on a time constraint on when a car crash claim must be settled by, but usually the duration of your case will depend on the full scope of your injuries, the other insurance companies involved, the percentage of fault each party holds, and whether or not your case requires litigation.

Once we have verified all of your injuries and medical treatment, we can contact the insurance company to provide them with a settlement demand. If the insurance adjusters fail to meet our demands or offer a lowball settlement amount, then we may recommend filing a lawsuit and moving your case closer to trial. If we do proceed to litigation, then the time frame of your case will increase.

We can walk you through all possible outcomes/scenarios so that you are fully prepared and understand what could happen with your case.
