What is Involved in Filing a Car Accident Claim?

The foundation of a car accident injury claim is providing proof that the reckless or intentional or negligent act of a driver caused the accident and your injury. The involvement of a motorcycle in an accident may raise issues that may not be present in a crash between cars. The involvement of a boat or semi-truck in an accident brings state and federal regulations of boats and trucks into the case.

Our truck and car accident lawyers will investigate the factors that go into proving fault in a motor vehicle accident, including:

• Disobeying traffic signs or signals
• Speeding or driving significantly under the speed limit
• Disregarding weather or traffic conditions
• Driver distraction
• Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
• Driving too close to a motorcycle
• Disobeying motorboat speed limits
• Disobeying distance restrictions between boats
• A truck driver who is overly tired or working beyond regulated hours
• Truck driver who fails to check his blind spots
• Improper load weight or an improperly balanced load

At Hopkins & Forhan, our car accident lawyers have nearly 60 years of combined personal injury law experience. We handle all car accident cases on a contingency fee basis. This means that you pay us nothing up front for our legal services. If our car accident lawyers are successful in obtaining a settlement or judgment for you, our fee will be a percentage of your award. If we aren’t successful, you owe us nothing.

The contingency fee arrangement helps level the playing field between our clients and their opponents, who are typically large insurance companies.

We are confident enough to offer the contingency fee arrangement because we have a track record of obtaining successful results, including multimillion dollar plus awards, for our injured clients.
