At Mooney Law, we understand the impact of an accident and how it can affect your life now and in the future.
Besides the immediate shock that comes with a collision, you may also sustain injuries that require extensive medical treatment and be unable to work for an unknown amount of time. All this further complicates an already difficult situation.
Our experienced Hanover car accident lawyers are here to help. We can review the facts of your accident and hope you seek justice and secure compensation.
The first step is to call our office to schedule a no-risk consultation.
The Role of Our Hanover Car Accident Attorneys
Our car accident attorney understands the law and how it applies to these cases. We represent accident victims and help them understand their rights.
When you come to our law firm after a car accident, we will provide a custom plan for your accident case to help you secure the compensation you deserve.
Some of the steps we will take when evaluating your accident and creating a plan include:
Investigating Your Car Accident
We will investigate the circumstances surrounding your car accident. During our investigation, we will collect evidence and talk to witnesses. Our goal is to determine what caused the incident.
Some of the evidence we will use includes:
- Police reports
- Photos
- Videos
- Analysis of the incident
Sometimes, liability is clear; however, the at-fault driver or their insurance company may deny this. We understand how to handle these situations and use evidence to prove what happened and who is liable.
The Process of Establishing Liability
As mentioned, the purpose of our investigation is to determine liability. We will work to show that the other party was at fault for your accident.
This may include showing the party was reckless, violating traffic laws, or negligent when the accident occurred.
Calculation of Damages
The damages you receive from a car accident settlement depend on your losses, the severity of your injuries, and other factors. We will use our knowledge of the law to maximize your payout.
Negotiations with Insurance Companies
The insurance company may minimize your settlement offer or deny your claim. This is because these are for-profit companies. They want to pay as little to claimants as possible to protect the company’s bottom line.
We will negotiate with insurance adjusters to ensure that your payout is fair. Our team takes time to account for all current and future losses you will incur due to the accident.
Representing You in Court
Sometimes, we are unsuccessful in negotiating a fair settlement for you. If this happens, we can take your case to court.
We will advocate for your rights to ensure you receive the compensation you are entitled to.
Understanding Insurance Claim Options
After a car accident, you may have more options than you realize to help cover the costs and losses associated with the incident. In Pennsylvania, you have “at-fault” and “no-fault” insurance claims.
Under “no-fault” insurance benefits, you can recover medical costs and lost wages. Liability or “at fault” benefits include non-economic damages like mental anguish and pain and suffering.
Sometimes, the at-fault driver in your accident will not have adequate liability insurance to provide compensation. In these situations, we can help you explore other insurance coverage options to ensure you get the money you need to fully recover.
