The Price of an Injury
You may already be familiar with how much a car wreck injury costs. Medical bills are not the only problem you’ll face. Regardless of whether you were a driver, passenger or a pedestrian, or your loved one was involved in a fatal car wreck, you have the right to seek fair compensation for:
- Hospital bills
- Long-term care
- Wage losses
- Pain and suffering
- Loss of consortium
- Property damage
- Funeral expenses
The Extent of an Injury
The extent of your injuries will also determine how we’ll calculate your damages. No two people are alike and we often see cases in which one person in a car may have been seriously hurt or even killed while others in the vehicle walk away with barely a scratch. Because no two chrashes are exactly alike our car wreck lawyer handle cases that involve the following types of injures:
- Soft tissue injuries like whiplash
- Fractures, broken bones and paralysis
- Serious injuries, such as spine or head injuries
- Wrongful death
How to Obtain a Full and Fair Settlement or Award
Do not take the first offer. An insurer’s first offer is almost never enough.
Do not face the insurance company alone. Insurers have a small army of adjusters and lawyers whose job is to minimize your personal injury claim. We strongly believe that with an attorney on your side you have a better chance of getting an award that actually covers all of your needs and expenses. At times, we do get calls from people with very minor claims who can handle things on their own. If so, we tell them they shouldn't need a lawyer.
However, if you suffered any type of serious injury then you will need legal help. It’s that simple. Your case won’t just be about getting the most money from the insurance company, we also have experience in helping you negotiate our clients’ bills with health providers, structuring large settlements and providing other legal services that most people just don’t know how to handle on their own.
We will make sure you know your legal rights and options. If you have problems with canceled policies, denials or delays, JB Akers is accomplished in dealing with insurance claims and helping clients obtain access to the coverage they need.
