How to Get Maximum Compensation After a Rancho Cucamonga Car Accident
Car accidents can impose significant financial and non-economic costs on victims. The personal injury lawyers at Quincey Law can stand up to the insurance company and work for you to be compensated.
When someone else was to blame for your car accident, they would owe you compensation for your injuries. Likely, it would be their insurance company writing you the check. Insurance companies make it difficult for claimants to recover full financial compensation, and you need to be prepared to fight.
If you have been injured in a car accident, speak to the personal injury attorneys at Quincey Law to understand your legal rights. Once you hire us for your case, we will get to work to potentially obtain compensation on your behalf.
Merely getting compensation after a Rancho Cucamonga car accident is not necessarily a win in itself. Your legal right is to full compensation for all of the harm that you have suffered, and if you fall short of that result, you are leaving money on the table. Not only must you fight for compensation in general, but you must also strive to get every dollar you deserve for your car accident injuries. Here is how you can get top dollar for your Rancho Cucamonga car accident claim.
Know the Value of Your Case
It is up to you to know how much your case is worth before you file any claim with the insurance company or a lawsuit in court. If you do not have this information, the insurance company would automatically gain an advantage over you in any negotiations. Your car accident settlement check should pay you for both your actual financial losses and the full effects associated with your injury. It may be difficult to learn this information on your own because you may have no idea how to value the individual elements of a car accident claim.
Hire a Car Accident Lawyer
Perhaps the most crucial step that you can take to get full compensation for your Rancho Cucamonga car accident is to hire an attorney to represent you throughout the legal process. The insurance adjuster wants to deal with you on your own because they will get the better of you every single time. A car accident lawyer represents injured clients like you on a daily basis. They have dealt with the insurance company before, and they know how to handle any tactics that they use. When you hire a car accident attorney for your case, they would perform the following functions:
- Make sure that you are informed about your legal options
- Investigate your accident and gather evidence that could be used to prove fault
- Quantify your damages and let you know how much you can seek
- Draft and file your claim with the insurance company or a lawsuit to file in court
- Negotiate a settlement with the insurance company or litigate against them in front of a jury
Stand Up to the Insurance Company When it Is Necessary
The insurance company will always try to settle your case for less than its full value. While they know exactly how much your case is worth, they will make you settlement offers for less than that full amount, often only a fraction of the true value of your claim. It is up to you to fight back in a way that the insurance company will understand. The insurance company will not just raise a settlement offer because you have asked them to do so. They need to fear potential consequences. Here, what the insurance company is specifically afraid of is the possibility of litigation.
Your car accident lawyer will give you professional advice about whether you should accept a settlement offer that was made to you. If the offer is too low, your car accident attorney would advise you to reject it. Your lawyer may tell you that it is in your best interest to keep negotiating with the insurance company, or that it is time to file a lawsuit against the responsible driver in court and let the jury decide the matter.
