How We Win Your Case

Winning a car accident case involves building a strong legal argument and presenting compelling evidence to support your claim. Here are key steps to increase your chances of success in a car accident case:

Seek Medical Attention

  • Prioritize your health. Seek immediate medical attention for any injuries sustained in the accident. Not only is this crucial for your well-being, but medical records also serve as essential evidence in your case, linking injuries to the accident.

Document the Scene

  • If possible, document the accident scene. Take photographs of the vehicles involved, the surrounding area, and any relevant road signs or signals. These visuals can help reconstruct the events leading to the accident.

Gather Information

  • Collect information from the other parties involved, including names, contact details, insurance information, and vehicle details. If there are witnesses, obtain their contact information as well. This information is vital for establishing liability.

File a Police Report

  • Report the accident to law enforcement and ensure a police report is filed. The report provides an official account of the accident, documenting key details and the officer’s observations. This report can be valuable evidence in your case.

Preserve Evidence

  • Preserve any evidence related to the accident. This may include vehicle damage, personal belongings, and any items that may have contributed to the collision. Keep all documents, including medical records, repair estimates, and correspondence with insurance companies.

Consult with an Attorney

  • Consider consulting with a personal injury attorney experienced in car accident cases. An attorney can provide legal guidance, assess the strength of your case, and help you navigate the complexities of the legal process.

Establish Liability

  • Clearly establish liability for the accident. This involves demonstrating that the other party was negligent or at fault. Evidence may include witness statements, the police report, photographs, and expert opinions if necessary.

Prove Damages

  • Document and prove the damages you have suffered due to the accident. This includes medical bills, property damage, lost wages, and any other related expenses. Keeping detailed records is crucial for building a strong case for compensation.

Negotiate with Insurance Companies

  • We negotiate with insurance companies for a fair settlement. Insurance companies may attempt to offer a lower settlement initially, but we can advocate for your rights and negotiate for a more reasonable amount.

Prepare for Litigation

  • If a fair settlement cannot be reached, we are prepared to file a lawsuit. We will guide you through the litigation process, which may involve discovery, depositions, and ultimately, presenting your case in court.

Present a Strong Case in Court

  • If your case goes to court, we will present a compelling case by using evidence, witness testimony, expert opinions, and legal arguments. Our well-prepared and persuasive presentation can significantly impact the outcome.

Remember, each car accident case is unique, and the specific strategies employed will depend on the circumstances. Consulting with an experienced attorney is key to navigating the legal process and increasing your chances of success in a car accident case.

Answers to Frequently Asked Questions

At Frogale Law, we are an authoritative resource to you. We have provided these answers to questions client’s frequently ask us.

What should I do immediately after a motor vehicle crash?

After a motor vehicle crash, prioritize safety. Check for injuries, call emergency services, and exchange information with the other parties involved. Document the scene, gather witness information, and seek medical attention promptly.

When should I contact an attorney after a motor vehicle crash?

It’s advisable to contact an attorney as soon as possible after a motor vehicle crash. Consulting with an attorney early allows them to guide you on important steps, such as gathering evidence, communicating with insurance companies, and ensuring your rights are protected.

How can I determine who is at fault in a motor vehicle crash?

Determining fault involves a thorough investigation into the circumstances of the crash. It may require witness statements, traffic camera footage, police reports, and expert analysis. An experienced attorney can help establish liability based on the available evidence.

What damages can I seek in a motor vehicle crash case?

In a motor vehicle crash case, you may be eligible to seek damages for medical expenses, property damage, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other related costs. An attorney can assess your case and help you understand the potential damages you may be entitled to.

How long do I have to file a lawsuit after a motor vehicle crash?

The time limit to file a lawsuit after a motor vehicle crash is known as the statute of limitations. In Virginia, this period is generally two years from the date of the accident. Failing to file within this timeframe may result in losing the right to pursue a claim.

Should I speak to the insurance company without an attorney?

It’s advisable to consult with an attorney before speaking to the insurance company. Insurance adjusters may attempt to settle quickly, potentially undervaluing your claim. An attorney can help you navigate conversations with insurance companies to ensure your rights are protected.

What if the other party involved in the crash is uninsured or underinsured?

If the other party is uninsured or underinsured, you may still have options for compensation. Your own uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage can come into play. Consulting with an attorney can help you explore the available avenues for recovering damages.

Can I still pursue a claim if I was partially at fault for the crash?

In Virginia, the contributory negligence rule applies, meaning if you are found even partially at fault for the crash, you may be barred from recovering damages. It’s crucial to consult with an attorney who can assess the specifics of your case and advise you accordingly.

What should I do if the insurance company denies my claim?

If the insurance company denies your claim, consult with an attorney immediately. They can review the denial, gather additional evidence if necessary, and guide you through the appeals process or help you explore legal options to pursue the compensation you deserve.

How much does it cost to hire a motor vehicle crash attorney?

Most motor vehicle crash attorneys, including Frogale Law, work on a contingency fee basis. This means they only receive payment if they successfully recover compensation for you. It’s important to discuss the fee structure with your attorney during the initial consultation.
