Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about motor vehicle accident claims.

How soon after an accident should I contact an attorney?

You should contact an attorney as soon as possible after seeking medical attention. Evidence can disappear quickly, witnesses' memories fade, and insurance companies begin building their case immediately. The sooner we can start investigating, the stronger your case will be.

What if I was partially at fault for the accident?

Many states follow comparative negligence rules, meaning you can still recover damages even if you were partially at fault. Your compensation would be reduced by your percentage of fault. Our attorneys can evaluate your specific situation and advise on the best approach.

How long do motor vehicle accident claims typically take?

Simple cases with clear liability and minor injuries may settle in 3-6 months. More complex cases with serious injuries, disputed liability, or multiple parties can take 1-2 years or longer if litigation is necessary. We work efficiently to resolve claims as quickly as possible while maximizing your compensation.

What damages can I recover in an MVA claim?

You may be entitled to: medical expenses (past and future), lost wages, loss of earning capacity, property damage, pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, and in some cases, punitive damages. Our attorneys will identify all potential damages in your specific case.

Will my case go to trial?

Most motor vehicle accident cases (over 95%) settle before trial. However, we prepare every case as if it will go to trial to maximize settlement leverage. If an insurance company refuses to offer a fair settlement, we are fully prepared to take your case to court and fight for your rights before a judge and jury.
