Automobile Accident


If you have been the victim of a serious car or truck accident, the law provides that the insurance company for the responsible driver/owner must compensate you for your injuries and losses. Unfortunately, insurance companies are often not willing to pay compensation fairly to the victims.

Insurance companies are businesses, and the less they pay you, the greater their profit is. Therefore, you should not be misled by the promises of insurance adjusters to "treat you fairly". Rather, one must be cautious and consult an expert car accident attorney before initiating any negotiation or filing claims with the insurance company.

Below we present you some useful points that will help you in dealing with these unfortunate circumstances like Vehicle Accidents.
  • The law provides that if you are injured in an auto/truck accident , you are entitled to compensation for medical bills, lost income (past and future), pain and suffering, disability, disfigurement, and loss of the enjoyment of life.

  • If there is a death, certain survivors are entitled to compensation for loss of support, companionship, guidance and other similar damages.

  • Although, there are time limits for filing a lawsuit an attorney can explain these limitations and depending on where the accident occurred or whether there was an injury or death. Don't rely upon advice from the insurance adjuster. Rather, trust an expert car accident lawyer for the compensation and insurance claims.

  • Health care providers want to be paid promptly for their services. We are experienced in working with health care providers to delay their collection efforts until your claims are settled.

TESTIMONIALS

"Right after I suffered a head injury in a fall at one of the local casinos, I hired a lawyer that a friend referred me to because I thought one lawyer was as good as another. Soon I learned otherwise. It wasn't until the neuropsychologist I was seeing referred me to Ed Dougherty that I learned the importance of years of experience and expertise in a lawyer handling this kind of case. Since the settlement of my case by Mr. Dougherty, I have referred and continue to refer all other accident victims that I can to Ed Dougherty because I know he will handle their case with experience and expertise, and will treat them right, just as he did for me."
