Why Hire a Wilton Manors Car Accident Lawyer?

When a car accident results in injuries, the at-fault party may be held liable for costs related to property damage, medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, mental anguish, and other damages. However, the insurance carrier for the negligent driver will likely try to blame you for the accident if possible.

If they can't place the blame on you, they'll attempt to minimize your injuries and offer a low settlement. Avoid speaking with insurance companies after an accident, as they may use your words against you to reduce your settlement. Instead, hire a car accident lawyer to represent your interests. Many clients who try to handle their claims without a lawyer end up with unfavorable outcomes. Don't let this happen to you.

How Long Does a Wilton Manors Car Accident Case Take?

The duration of a car accident case depends on several factors, and no lawyer can guarantee a specific timeframe or settlement amount. Factors that influence the length of a Wilton Manors car accident claim include:

• Liability dispute
• Severity of injuries
• Length of medical care
• Insurance coverage available
• The insurance company involved
• Whether a lawsuit needs to be filed

If liability is disputed, your case may take longer to resolve. This is because the insurance company only has to pay out claims if their insured driver is at fault. If the insurance company believes they're not responsible for the accident, they won't offer a settlement. In such cases, your case may need to be litigated, involving filing a lawsuit against the other driver, discovery, depositions, mediation, and possibly a trial. This process takes longer as your lawyer will need to prove the other driver's fault by filing a lawsuit on your behalf.

The severity of injuries and the length of medical care also play a significant role in determining the case duration. If your injuries are more severe, it will take longer to send a demand to the insurance company because we won't settle the case until you receive all the necessary treatment. For example, if you undergo surgery after a Wilton Manors car accident, your claim may take longer to settle.

The insurance carrier and the available coverage also affect how long your car accident case takes. For example, if the at-fault party has only $10,000 in bodily injury coverage, your case may not take very long. If your hospital bill alone is $8,000, we'll quickly send a demand to the insurance company if the only available coverage is $10,000. If the insurance company doesn't pay the full policy of $10,000 within the demanded time, we may potentially pursue a bad faith claim.

Furthermore, the specific insurance company can influence the duration of your case. Not all insurance companies evaluate claims the same way. Some are worse than others. For example, if the at-fault insurance company is Allstate or State Farm, your case may take longer because they typically undervalue claims, leading to the need for litigation.
