The auto accident attorneys at Sanders & Nettles have years of experience in personal injury matters. Our skilled team of lawyers will examine the facts, evaluate your claim, determine which parties and insurance companies are responsible, and organize all of the details of preparing and presenting your car accident case. As attorneys, we will examine if road conditions were unsafe, if there was inadequate safety and warning, or any other factors that may have been responsible for an accident.
There are three factors when making an auto accident claim:
- Liability, that is, who caused the accident and who is legally responsible.
- Establishing an amount of damages to which you are legally entitled.
- Determining where to collect the damages, specifically what sources, such as insurance or individual assets, are available for payment of a settlement or damage awards.
If your vehicle was damaged in the accident, repairs can be assessed by a body shop. Physical and emotional repercussions associated to your auto accident are of the utmost importance. Some results of an auto accident are pain and suffering, loss of current and future income, impaired physical ability, and loss of enjoyment. Do not consider accepting a settlement from an insurance company without first contacting and obtaining a lawyer.
