How much does it cost to hire a car accident attorney?

When you are in a car crash, one of the things you worry about is if you can afford a lawyer. Yes, you can, because I don’t bill by the hour.

Car Accident Case Timeline

Were you seriously injured and have questions about the car accident case timeline? Check out this video to learn how long a case can take.

How long does it take to settle a car accident claim?

After a car crash, it is difficult to tell you how long it will take to resolve your case – not a compromise, not a settlement; I call it resolution. I am an aggressive lawyer in terms of getting my clients compensation because you need help, financial help, and I try to push the case along. I can’t tell you how long it’s going to take. It depends on many factors, such as how you feel, and how long it takes for you to get to the pre-crash status where you feel better and there are no residual problems.

Car Accident Case Value

If you are injured, watch this video to learn how attorneys determine the car accident case value. Call our Orange County attorney now.

How do I determine the value of a car accident claim?

When you are in a car crash, one of the biggest things that you think about is what your compensation is going to be. One of the questions that you will think about is, “How much money am I going to ultimately get?” We will get you the best compensation you can get, and I will keep you advised as we proceed as to what I think the value of your case is. I can’t tell you right now what the value of your case is. If any lawyer tells you right out of the gate, “This is what I think your case is worth,” they’re not telling the truth, as the value of compensation is based upon many factors.

After a car accident in Orange County, is it a good idea to talk to the insurance company?

Car Accident Medical Bills

Who is going to pay for my medical bills after a car accident?

When you are in a car crash, one of the things that you worry about is how to pay your medical bills. Ultimately, your medical bills are going to be your past medical bills and your future medical bills. An expert witness will determine how much your future medical bills may be, and we will add up all your past medical bills. Keep in mind that it is our job to make sure you are not stuck with any medical bills to ding your credit. That is really important.

How long should I wait before I hire an attorney for my car accident claim?

After a car crash, sometimes you hesitate to seek legal advice. You shouldn’t hesitate. The more you hesitate, the more the insurance company can get the advantage over you by doing their research before your lawyer can do their investigation.

Lost Wage Reimbursement

Do you have questions about lost wage reimbursement in a car accident case? Watch this video for guidance, then call our Orange County lawyer.

How does lost wage reimbursement work?

From a car crash, you are entitled to certain areas. You are entitled to current pain and suffering, past pain and suffering, and future pain and suffering. You are also entitled to lost wages, and that’s past lost wages and future lost wages. Those are items that I will explain as we proceed in this process, and I will explain to you what exactly the compensation will take into consideration.

Other Driver Doesn’t Have Insurance

Did you get in a car wreck and the other driver doesn’t have insurance? Watch this video, then call our Orange County lawyer to get started.

What happens if I was in a car accident and the other driver doesn’t have insurance?

If the person who hit you doesn’t have insurance, then we have to look to your own insurance. Hopefully, we don’t have to deal with your own insurance because you weren’t the one who caused this crash. It should be the other person’s insurance. However, if they don’t have insurance, I’ll need to see a declaration of your insurance policy to see whether or not we can get any compensation through your own insurance company. Keep in mind, though, if we do that, it won’t raise your premiums.

Were you or a loved one injured in a crash and have questions about what to do if the other driver doesn’t have insurance? Contact our experienced Orange County Car Accident Attorney, Timothy J. Ryan today for a confidential consultation and legal case evaluation.

Representing Yourself After a Car Accident

Learn why representing yourself for a car accident case is a bad idea in this educational video. Then, call our Orange County attorney today.

Should I represent my car accident claim?

Based on almost 43 years of practice, you need legal advice in a car accident case. It is not a great idea to represent yourself. The amount of compensation that you will get depends on the type of lawyer you have and the type of experience that lawyer has. I’ve handled over ten thousand cases, so I can tell you the value of a case. I don’t rely on any studies that are put out by the insurance company. I am consistently, daily reviewing jury verdicts and settlement amounts that have occurred in personal injury cases.
