Here are some things your car accident lawyer will consider when estimating the value of your claim:
- Medical Bills. In addition to looking at the medical expenses you have already paid, your car accident lawyer can also speak to experts and medical professionals to estimate the cost and value of future medical bills that you may have to face due to this car accident.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long is my case going to take?
Unfortunately, we cannot give an exact time frame on how long your case is going to take. Some cases can resolve within 6 months, while others may take years. Every case is different and is dependent on the severity of your injuries, your treatment, the available insurance coverage, and of how willing the insurance carriers are to negotiate. Once you’ve concluded treatment and we have prepared a demand on your behalf, we will be able to a gage a better time frame. Generally, car crash cases are usually resolved within a year. Fall cases and premises liability cases usually take over a year to resolve.
If I miss work due to my accident and injuries, can I recover lost wages on my case?
In addition to your bodily injuries and property damage, we can also submit a claim for lost wages on your behalf. For us to properly submit this claim, we strongly advise you keep close documentation of any and all days missed and provide us with any related termination or wage loss documents. Please be advised that wage loss damages are taxable damages (medical bills and pain and suffering are not taxable damages).
If I make an uninsured motorist claim, will my insurance rates go up?
If you are not at fault for the crash, then your insurance rates should not go up, regardless if an uninsured motorist claim is made or not.
Who handles my car and property damage?
Typically, the property damage claim (repairs to the vehicle, rental car, etc.) is handled by the client and the insurance carrier. However, we are more than happy to help assist you with making the process smoother. If your vehicle has been taken to a tow yard, it is important to mitigate your own damages and get the vehicle removed to another location, such as your residence, so that it is not incurring daily fees. If you have collision coverage on your own insurance policy, you have the option of paying your deductible and getting your repairs handled through them. If you choose to go through your own insurance carrier for the repairs, once the body shop has repaired your vehicle, your insurance carrier will pay the body shop and then subrogate the total amount, including your deductible, from the third-party insurance carrier. If you choose not to go through your own insurance carrier for repairs or you do not have collision coverage, you will have to wait until the third-party finalizes their liability investigation for them to handle the property damage. They have 30 days from the time of the crash to conduct their own investigation and accept/deny/determine liability. Once concluded and they have decided as to who is liable, they will be in contact with you to resolve your property damage claim. As always, we are here to answer any questions and to help guide you in this process.
What if I don’t feel the auto insurance company is making a fair offer on my car?
Typically, the auto insurance companies base their offer on the current market value of your vehicle. Often time, they will research to see the last 4 vehicles sold in your county that are the same/similar in make/model/mileage and then take the average of them. If the amount they are offering, minus tow yard expenses, is within the Kelly Blue Book value of your vehicle, then the offer is typically fair. Should you have any questions regarding the value of your vehicle, we will be more than happy to look at their offer amount and provide our opinion.
