Auto Accident Lawyers - Knoxville, Tennessee
Auto accident cases deal with
insurance adjustors, which means they can
be time consuming and extremely frustrating.
Typically when another person is at fault
in causing a car accident, their insurance
company will try to settle with the injured
party quickly. However, they often times
try to settle property damage for substantially
less than the value of the vehicle and also
try to settle personal injury claims before
the full extent of a victim's injuries are
realized. Once settled, the auto accident
case cannot be reopened.
Car accidents happen all the time, but that doesn't mean that your case should be treated like all the others. The auto accident attorneys at Ralph Brown & Associates - located in Knoxville, Tennessee - understand the difficulties a serious personal injury brings into your life and have the resources necessary to defend your rights, earning you the compensation you deserve.
The Cost
A serious auto accident can be devastating-for both victims and their families. Crash victims suffer painful and often debilitating injuries. Many must go through long periods of physical rehabilitation. Others are permanently disabled. Still others to do not live. Beyond the physical injury, victims and their families must frequently cope with extensive medical bills, emotional suffering, and loss of work income. For many families, this financial and emotional burden can be overwhelming. If you or your family member has been involved in a serious automobile accident that was the fault of another driver, you may be entitled to substantial monetary compensation.
What to do if you're in an auto accident
Obviously, the most critical thing to do if you or someone else is involved in a motor vehicle accident is to call for emergency assistance and attend to the immediate injuries and danger. However, if at all possible, it is extremely important to keep calm and try to collect as much information as possible about the accident scene and the parties involved. The following information can be crucial down the road when dealing with insurance or possible litigation:
- Names, contact information, driver's license number, insurance, and registration information for all drivers involved
- names and contact information for all passengers, witnesses, police officers, and emergency medical personnel involved
- location and time of accident
- a description of vehicle damage and how the accident happened
- a list of injuries you know or suspect
What an auto accident lawyer can do for you
Auto accident cases deal with insurance adjustors, which means they can be time consuming and extremely frustrating. Typically, when another person is at fault in causing a car accident, that person's insurance company will try to settle with the injured party quickly. However, the company often tries to settle property damage for substantially less than the value of the vehicle and also tries to settle personal injury claims before the full extent of a victim's injuries are realized. Once settled, the auto accident case cannot be reopened.
Experienced auto accident attorneys can intervene between you and the insurance company to ensure you receive the full amount to which your entitled. In other instances, a competent accident attorney will aggressively pursue your interests through civil litigation and the courts if necessary. The attorney will interview witnesses, investigate the scene of the accident, and preserve and record important evidence such as tire tread marks. It is crucial, therefore, that you contact an attorney as quickly as possible after your accident to ensure that critical evidence is not lost.
