Automotive Accident

WIN THE COMPENSATION YOU DESERVE!

Speak with the Vehicle Accident Attorneys that Insurance Companies Fear Most.

If you’ve been injured in an accident, call The Barnes Law Office to determine compensation for:

  • Your Vehicle or Property
  • Your Medical Bills
  • Your Pain & Suffering
  • Your Lost Wages

WARNING: If you or a loved one have been injured in an accident… STOP! Saying the wrong thing to the opposing party or insurance company can absolutely DESTROY your case and reduce or even eliminate your settlement amount.

A personal injury attorney can also help you understand what to expect and what kind of remedy they will be pursuing to compensate you. If you have never been in a car accident, it can be difficult to know what your needs might be financially following the accident. You may have to deal with medical bills, lost wages, lost earning abilities, and more. Our firm can offer options to help you through this.

HOW OUR LAWYERS CAN HELP

One reason that many victims of car accidents call a lawyer is because they are facing financial difficulties. At The Barnes Law Office, we understand what you are going through, which is why we offer a free consultation service. We can explain your legal options and give you the information you need to make informed decisions about how you want to move forward.

At The Barnes Law Office, you can expect first-rate attention and service. You may not realize all of the work involved in developing a case for trial or even settlement, but pursuing an auto accident claim requires time and dedication. Your auto accident lawyer will work on many fronts while your case is underway including but not limited to:

  • Obtaining police reports and police statements
  • Interviewing witnesses
  • Engage experts to help with accident reconstruction.
  • Collect and analyze medical records.
  • Work with insurance adjusters
  • Negotiate on your behalf.
  • Collect factual information from the other parties involved in the accident.

INSURANCE CLAIMS ARE HANDLED BY A CAR ACCIDENT LAWYER

The insurance companies will initiate their own investigations into the accident right away.  Insurance companies profit from paying out as little money as possible on auto accident claims, therefore they will try to pay you as little as possible.

Do not offer a written or recorded statement to the insurance companies relating how the events surrounding the accident unfolded, who was at fault, and how you were injured. Insurance companies may twist your comments and take portions of your story out of context, and they will deny you adequate time to analyze your injuries and receive care. They may also make low-ball offers to entice you to agree, which is not in your best interests.

The Barnes Law Office will perform our own preliminary inquiry and help you through the maze of insurance companies, which may include:

  • Having a meeting with you
  • Examining your vehicle for any flaws
  • Visiting the accident scene to assess the situation
  • Speaking with law enforcement and first responders
  • Locating and interviewing witnesses
  • If the other driver was driving while working, researching their employer.
  • Educating you about your injuries and treatment options
  • Each case is unique, therefore we’ll tailor this investigation to match your needs.

WE WILL WORK TO WIN YOUR CASE

As a client, our full team of resources will fight for you as if you were a member of our family. Our goal is to give you hope and peace of mind – we take pride in our results, and will relentlessly pursue every option to ensure the best outcome for you.

WHAT TO DO IF YOU’VE BEEN IN A CAR ACCIDENT

Contact the Police

In the event of an automobile collision, you should phone the police to help with any emergency services required on the site. Even in a minor accident, it is important to make sure there is a legal accident report. The police will record the accident scene accurately. The police record of your vehicle accident will be crucial in showing negligence if your case goes to court.

If You Sustain Any Bodily Injuries, Go Seek Medical Treatment Immediately

People frequently may not realize they have been injured until long after a car accident. It’s critical to have tests on everything that hurts to rule out the possibility that your adrenaline is masking persistent difficulties and tell your doctor everything.

If you are feeling any type of pain go and seek medical treatment immediately. Go either to your local hospital or urgent care center. Car and trucking insurance companies look to see how long it took you to seek treatment- the sooner you see a doctor the better it will be for your case. Make sure to use your health insurance if available once you go and get treatment.

Take Photographs as Proof

Pictures are worth a thousand words. Taking photos of injuries, your car, the at-fault driver’s car, and the scene of the accident can possibly increase the value of your case.

Also document road conditions that are important, such as a stop sign blocked by a hanging tree. These images will assist you in preparing your case.

Get the Facts of Your Car Accident

Getting the facts of an accident is the part most people know but often forget due to the stress of being in a car accident. It is important to get the names, addresses, and phone numbers of everyone involved in the accident. A description of the car and license plate number can also be helpful, but make sure you also get their insurance company and their car’s vehicle identification number.

Obey the Doctor's Instructions

Follow your doctor’s advice. Follow your doctor’s orders, which may include undergoing essential testing, finishing therapy, and consulting experts. If you don’t feel better, go back to your doctor and tell them how you’re feeling.

Request a Copy of the Police Report

You should get a copy of the police report as soon as possible. The police report comes from a third party who was there at the scene of your car collision to assess fault. It also keeps track of the time, date, weather, and information on the other driver. Keep a copy in your files.

Get in Touch with THE BARNES LAW OFFICE

Before you speak to a representative from the insurance company, give any statements, or go to traffic court, call a vehicle accident attorney at (405) 330-8420. Insurance adjusters may be kind individuals, but their job is to retain corporate money in their own corporation. Get expert legal assistance to protect your rights.

Get in Touch With Your Insurance Company

It is your responsibility to notify your insurance carrier of an accident. Report the accident and provide the essential data, such as where it happened and who was involved. You do not have to give your insurance company a statement or a comprehensive account of the accident or your injuries immediately after the collision. Many insurance companies let you submit accident information through their app.

Limit Your Conversation about the Accident with the Other Party

It is important to limit your discussion of the accident and not to admit any fault or liability. You should only talk about the accident with the police, medical professionals, and your attorney.

Avoid Using Social Media

Do not share or discuss the accident, the other driver, your injuries, your doctors, or anything else that could be used against you on social media. The insurance adjusters are researching and waiting for you to share something that can be used against you on a public forum. Don’t give them any information.
