Getting Maximum Value for Your Bellingham Car Accident
In order to receive top value for your car accident claim, you need an attorney who fully understands the intricacies of auto injury law. At The Advocates, we have attorneys who specialize solely in car accident claims. We know how to properly value your case.
When dealing with insurance companies, our experienced team will negotiate on your behalf to get top dollar for your injuries and losses. If the insurance company refuses to play fair by offering a lowball settlement, our litigation attorneys will take your case all the way to court. The Advocates are built to maximize results by treating every case as if it may end up going to trial. This means we’re often able to get fair settlements because insurance companies know we won’t back down.
Don’t Be Cheated by Unscrupulous Insurance Companies
There’s no denying auto injury law can be complex at times. A single mistake can jeopardize your entire injury claim, potentially leaving you with nothing. Insurance policies are purposely written in a vague and confusing manner in order to make it easier to deny accident claims for trivial reasons. To ensure you receive the best possible settlement, you will need a car accident attorney who thoroughly knows Washington State laws.
Below are the most common issues you can expect after your car accident:
Disputed Liability: One of the first tactics insurance companies use to get out of paying fair settlements is to claim their client was not at fault for the accident. Without proper evidence that the other party was to blame, it can be difficult to prove liability. The attorneys with The Advocates have the legal knowledge and expertise necessary to hold the at-fault parties responsible for any injuries and losses you have suffered.
Medical Billing: Reading medical bills can be like trying to assemble a jigsaw puzzle in the dark. We get it. Remembering which doctor was visited on what date and where can be a nightmare to keep track of. Before long, medical bills are piling up, insurance adjusters are calling daily, and the next thing you know, the other party’s insurance provider wants you to settle before your treatment is even complete. Thankfully, The Advocates Injury Attorneys have an amazing medical billing staff with expereince tracking down bills, compiling comprehensive files, and ensuring each and every medical statement is paid for by the end of your case. No one should have to pay medical expenses caused by another person’s recklessness and mistakes, and The Advocates are equipped to assist clients through the entire medical process.
Property Damage Claims: One of the frequent consequences of being involved in a car accident is having your vehicle damaged or worse, completely destroyed. The Advocates understand that you want to be compensated for your lost vehicle. If we take your case, our team will set up a property damage claim so you can recoup the actual value of your wrecked vehicle. In the meantime, our professional staff will help you get into a rental car until your vehicle is replaced. Our job is to get you back on the road again as quickly as possible.
