Establishing Liability After a Car Accident
When pursuing compensation after a car accident, the first thing you must do is prove who was at fault for the accident. While many people think they can only pursue damages from another involved driver, the truth is that many parties can hold a level of fault in these cases.
When you hire an experienced Brockton car accident lawyer, they will conduct an independent investigation into your case with a focus on identifying the party liable for your damages. Some of the most commonly liable parties in car accident cases include:
- Another driver directly involved in the crash
- A third-party driver, whose actions led to the collision
- The manufacturer of one of the involved vehicles
- An automobile parts manufacturer
- A repair company that worked on one of the vehicles
- The municipality in charge of maintaining the road where the accident occurred
After identifying the at-fault party, your lawyer will begin to build your compensation claim. They will file all the paperwork and prepare your case for court. They will also engage in settlement negotiations with the liable party to get you the money you need. If a settlement can not be reached, your attorney will take the at-fault party to court, where they will argue your case.
The Brockton Car Accident Lawyers at Our Firm Work on a Contingency Fee Basis
Unfortunately, many accident victims fail to secure legal representation due to concerns about cost. However, the legal team at Jason Stone Injury Lawyers works on a contingency fee basis. That means we only get paid if you collect damages from the at-fault party. If you don’t recover compensation, you never need to reach into your pocket to pay us.
If we are able to recover money on your behalf, we will collect a single fee at the conclusion of your case. This fee will be paid directly out of the money you recover as a fixed percentage of the compensation you receive.
With this fee structure, anyone can afford to hire our team to help get them the money they need after an accident.
Ensure You File Your Car Accident Lawsuit Before the Deadline
When pursuing compensation through a car accident lawsuit, you must pay attention to the personal injury statute of limitations in your state. In most cases, this statute gives accident victims in Massachusetts three years to file a lawsuit. Missing the deadline will likely mean you will be out of options for recovering compensation.
However, you need to understand that exceptions could apply to your case, which can change the filing deadline in your case. Depending on the circumstances, this could mean shifting the filing deadline forward or back.
The best way to ensure you know the exact deadline that applies to your case is by consulting an experienced lawyer as soon as possible after your collision. Your attorney will be able to identify any exceptions that may apply and help ensure that all the required paperwork gets filed accurately and on time.
Use Caution When Interacting With Insurers After a Crash
Insurance companies spend a lot of money on ads that portray them as friendly neighbors, looking to help you out in whatever manner possible. They spend this money because by convincing people to trust them, they are able to save far more money by tricking people out of the money they are entitled to collect in a claim.
