The first offer an insurance company makes is rarely what a claim is worth, and it usually arrives before anyone knows the full extent of the injuries. A car accident attorney can tell you what your case is actually worth before you sign anything.
The Law Offices of Alejo Lugo & Associates takes these cases with no fee unless we win, so what you can afford never decides whether you get representation.
We handle collisions of every kind, along with the wrongful death claims that follow the worst of them, in English and Spanish from offices in Riverside and Murrieta.
What a Car Accident Lawyer Can Do for You
A car accident can be an extremely traumatic event. In addition to the physical pain of your injuries, you may be left with significant emotional pain and suffering, plus medical bills and other expenses. All of this can be very stressful. As your attorney, we can help make the car accident injury claim process as smooth and easy as possible. We will help you with many tasks that are essential for holding the at-fault party responsible for their negligence and securing the full and fair compensation you deserve. This may include:
- Helping you get proper medical treatment, including appointments with specialists if needed
- Investigating your accident to gather evidence proving liability
- Consulting accident reconstructionists as needed
- Hiring expert witnesses to examine medical evidence
- Documenting your damages
- Calculating your losses
- Negotiating with the insurance company for a settlement
- Preparing your case for court if needed
We Handle All Kinds of Accidents and Injuries
Car accidents can range from minor fender-benders to serious, multi-car pileups, and a variety of injuries of differing degrees of severity are possible. If you have been injured in a car accident, it is extremely important to hire an attorney who understands both the specific type of accident you have been in and the nature of the injuries you have suffered.
Why? Because understanding different types of accidents is key to proving liability for them, and familiarity with different types of injuries is crucial for connecting victims with medical experts and securing appropriate compensation.
After over 20 years of experience, Alejo Lugo has become familiar with many different kinds of car accidents and injuries, including:
- Rear-end accidents
- Rollover accidents
- Sideswipe accidents
- T-bone accidents
- Whiplash injuries
- Head injuries
- Back and neck injuries
- Airbag injuries
- Broken bones
- Lacerations
- Scarring
- Dismemberment
- Paralysis
We Help Protect You From Costly Mistakes
If you do not have an experienced and knowledgeable car accident lawyer on your side, you risk settling your case for far less than it may be worth.
After an accident in which they know their client was at fault, insurance companies often reach out to injured victims with a settlement offer. This initial offer is almost always a lowball offer. It will not include pain and suffering, and in many cases it does not even account for the full amount of your present and future medical costs. By having a skilled car accident lawyer such as The Law Offices of Alejo Lugo & Associates review any settlement offers for you, you can avoid inadvertently accepting an unfair offer and missing out on the compensation you deserve.
If you have received a settlement offer, call us now. We can review your case and determine if the offer is fair. If it is not, we can go back to the insurance company to negotiate for a better offer or take your case to court.
