Berkeley Auto Injury Attorney

Berkeley Auto Injury Attorney

Car accidents may be everyday occurrences, but that does not make them any easier to deal with. Every car accident is different, and while some may result in minor damages, others can have lasting negative consequences for the individuals involved. From long-term injuries to emotional trauma, and high medical bills to lost wages, the victims of some car accidents may end up paying for the negligent actions of another driver for years into the future. At the Law Office of Scott Righthand, P.C., our Berkeley auto injury attorneys ensure that that is not the case for you.

If you have been involved in a car accident that was the result of another driver’s negligence, and if you sustained serious injuries or losses in the accident, it is crucial to your recovery that you file an auto accident claim with the liable party’s insurance company. However, because insurance companies do not always have their clients’ best interests in mind when processing claims, they may try to reduce your settlement or even deny your claim altogether. To ensure that this does not happen, consult with an experienced Berkeley auto accident attorney as soon as possible after your accident. 

Hiring the Right Berkeley Auto Injury Attorney for Your Needs

At the Law Office of Scott Righthand, P.C., we encourage the victims of car accidents to contact an auto accident attorney as soon as possible after the accident; however, we also encourage them to take their time in selecting the right attorney for their needs. Many attorneys out there do not have their clients’ best interests at heart when working on a car accident claims case. At our Berkeley auto accident law firm, we do.

At our law firm, we handle a range of auto accident cases, including car accidents, truck accidents, motorcycle accidents, and pedestrian accidents. Furthermore, we advocate for victims who have sustained a wide range of injuries, including but not limited to:

•     head injuries;
•     traumatic brain injuries;
•     spinal cord injuries;
•     back injuries;
•     internal bleeding;
•     broken bones and fractures;
•     muscle and tendon strains and tears;
•     cuts and lacerations; and
•     burns and abrasions.

When selecting an auto injury attorney to advocate on your behalf, make sure that the lawyer you choose has experience in dealing with accidents similar to your own. Furthermore, concentrate on the lawyer’s level of experience, skill, and commitment, as well as on their fee structure. An auto accident attorney’s fee structure may be able to tell you everything you need to know about them, as a good auto injury lawyer will work on a contingency fee basis, meaning that they do not get paid unless you do. Furthermore, in a contingency fee arrangement, an attorney receives a percentage of his or her client’s winnings. This type of arrangement ensures that your lawyer will do everything in their power to not only garner a victory but also, to make that victory a worthwhile one.

Typically, a lawyer should have all of the information you seek on their website. If they do not, they should be willing to share the information with you upon request. If they are hesitant to provide references, or share past case results with you, then they are probably not the lawyer for you.
