Keep reading to learn about them and then contact us at 909-982-0707 for your free legal consultation.

1.We Can Advise You of Your Legal Rights

You are not an attorney – how would you understand all of your legal rights after an accident? In some cases, it may truly be no one’s fault and your recover will need to come from your own insurance company. In other cases, it may seem like one person is obviously at fault but it could be that several people are at fault. Even in cut and dry cases, you will benefit from having a personal injury attorney on your side.

2.We Can Investigate Your Accident

Even if you think that the accident was clearly the fault of another party, you will need evidence to back this up. In more complex cases, it may not be obvious exactly who to hold accountable. It is possible that the driver is partially responsible but others are partially responsible as well. For example, was the accident partially the result of poor road conditions? We have access to professional investigators, accident reconstruction experts, and others who can help us get to the bottom of your case.

3.We Can Handle Your Insurance Claim for You

In most cases, the first step in seeking compensation will be filing a claim with the at-fault party’s insurance company. This may seem simple but it can actually be very complex. You can count on the insurance company not offer a fair settlement offer off the bat. Instead, you will need to negotiate. If they will not accept a reasonable settlement then you may need to take it to court. The good news is that when you work with Law Offices of Fernando D. Vargas, we will handle all interactions with the insurance company so you can concentrate on recovering.

4.We Will Take Your Case to Court if Necessary

If the at-fault party’s insurance company is not willing to settlement for a reasonable amount then it will be time to take your case to court. If you have worked with a personal injury attorney from the beginning, this process will not be difficult for you. However, if you wait until it is time to file a lawsuit then your attorney will need time and resources to get up to speed.

At Law Offices of Fernando D. Vargas we suggest you call an attorney as soon as possible after your injury accident. You can reach us at 909-982-0707 for your free legal consultation.
