Here at the Hickory Law Offices of Jason E. Taylor, our team has handled personal injury and auto accident cases for over twenty years. We have over a century of experience between us helping folks in Hickory get the compensation they deserve for damage and personal injury caused by others. We want to do the same for you.
Ultimately, you’re the only one who can decide what’s right for you. That said, we think it’s a good idea to consult with a lawyer after any car accident in Hickory, NC. Their knowledge and experience can help you decide whether it makes sense for you to hire legal representation.
Personal injury cases can be complicated, and every decision you make can affect what you receive in compensation. Insurance adjusters will try to lowball you. They want to pay as little as they can get away with.
Most insurance companies will call you within days, hoping to settle with you before you know that the ache in your neck isn’t going away or what that ER visit at Catawba Valley will cost you.
They want to catch you before you realize how injured you are. That way, you’re more likely to settle for a smaller sum than you’re entitled to, and it keeps you from being able to pursue them for more money later down the road.
A personal injury lawyer can ensure that you aren’t being taken advantage of by these predatory “nuisance-value” offers.
You shouldn’t have to navigate Hickory law. You’ve got a car to replace. You’ve got injuries to tend to. We’re here to handle your claim from start to finish, and if you don’t get paid, neither do we. You can trust us to give it our all.
It never hurts to get a free consultation. We can talk about the details of your specific situation and figure out if litigation is the best way for you to go.
There are a few signs, though, that usually indicate the need for an attorney.
Looks can be deceiving, so it’s always worth doing things properly, even if the accident looks minor:
It’s better to do as much as you can at the scene of the accident, while everything is still fresh in your mind. The more you document now, the less you’ll have to remember later.
Certainly. If the other insurance company is sure that they would lose a court battle, they will contact you as soon as they can to offer you a settlement that is usually well below what you are entitled to.
Car accidents are incredibly common. There are over 2,000 a year, right here in Hickory. More than 500 of those crashes resulted in injuries.
That’s a lot of medical bills for insurance companies to cover. They keep their businesses profitable by offering the smallest settlement they can. Many people who accept this settlement don’t realize how insufficient it is until they see their medical bill.
I can’t say it enough: consultations are free. It doesn’t hurt a thing to give us a call to talk about your accident, and it might hurt a lot not to. Even if you do end up deciding to represent yourself, at least you’re going in with more information.
In the end, we can’t force you to call. We still want you to get the best settlement you can. So here are a few things to keep in mind:
We usually see settlements fall between $14,000 and $28,000, and the average is somewhere around $21,000. Every case is different, though. There’s no formula.
Most accidents are caused by negligence, and we tend to see the same causes over and over again:
Again, there’s no formula for figuring out an appropriate settlement. You aren’t going to get compensated for medical bills if there were no medical bills. Every situation is different. Every case is unique.
Your initial consultation is free. Give us a call. Let us see if we can help you.
