Frequently Asked Questions About Motor Vehicle Accident Claims in Nutley, NJ

FAQ: How can a lawyer help make sure my motor vehicle accident compensation award is fair?

Most motor vehicle accident victims have never before been seriously injured in a crash. You might have dealt with your insurance company after fender-benders in the past, but never to get compensation for a serious injury. We handle motor vehicle claims involving serious injuries on a regular basis. We can use our past experience and contacts in the medical community to estimate a fair compensation award. We then use our well-developed negotiation skills to make the most compelling case possible with the insurance company and, if necessary, at trial.

FAQ: Will I have to go to trial to get compensation after a motor vehicle accident?

Insurance companies would usually rather settle your claim outside of court. Insurance adjusters are, however, highly trained in ways to reduce your award or deny it altogether. That’s why you need an experienced lawyer to fight back. In most cases, we can reach a fair settlement award without going to trial. In the rare cases where the insurance company refuses to negotiate fairly, we are ready and willing to fight for your rights before a judge or jury.
