Car Accident Lawyers Fighting for You

Getting injured in a car accident can put your life on hold. Even when you can get back to work right away, you're overwhelmed by the following considerations: Who should pay for the damage to the rear of your car? What about your medical bills? Urgent care visits, hospital stays, and physical therapy sessions can add up quickly. To get the compensation you deserve, you need a qualified car accident and personal injury attorney to help you navigate the confusing world of insurance claims.

Even if your case appears to be black and white — for example, if you were hit by a driver who was tailgating — the insurance company's adjusters will exhaust their resources to minimize your settlement. Less money for you means more in the company's pocket and job security for the adjuster. Hiring a team of experienced accident attorneys like Ward Law gives you an advantage when negotiating a settlement.

With nearly 20 years of experience, Ward Law has handled every possible variation of insurance claims. From minor fender benders to severe catastrophic injury accidents, Ward Law knows the suitable switches to flip to allow your case to gain momentum.

Common Types of Car Accident Claims We Handle

Each year, 2.35 million Americans suffer personal injuries as a direct result of a car accident. (This figure omits car accidents in which drivers were not injured.)

The vast majority of car accidents occur not due to unavoidable events, such as black ice or dense fog, but due to the negligence of other drivers.

Because different laws and best practices govern how you should proceed, you need an experienced accident attorney to help you navigate an ever-changing legal environment.

According to data compiled by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the top 3 causes of car accidents include:

  • State bans on portable devices like cell phones and electronics have become increasingly common in recent years — because distracted driving is the number one cause of car accidents in the United States. Texting while driving, talking on the phone, adjusting the radio or GPS, and even eating and drinking while driving can lead to car accidents.
  • 28% of all car-related deaths involve an intoxicated driver. If you have lost a loved one to drunk driving, your personal injury claim falls under the category of wrongful death.
  • Reckless driving includes car accidents caused by irresponsible acts such as speeding, illegal U-turns, or unsafe lane changes. The force of a collision increases with speed, making injury more likely and more serious.

Types of Car Accident Injuries

From fender benders to multiple car pileups, motor vehicle accidents represent the second most common source of personal injury in the United States. Aside from emotional trauma, car accidents can also cause medical problems. Common injuries associated with car accidents include:

Types of Compensation
for Car Accident Claims

When you are seriously injured due to the negligence of others, you need an experienced personal injury attorney to help you maximize your claim. With the right legal support, you may be entitled to the following forms of compensation:

Property Damage

Compensation for damage to your vehicle and related costs like towing fees.

Medical Bills

Coverage for doctor and hospital visits, physical or occupational therapy, emergency surgery, inpatient care, and more.

Loss of Earning Capacity

Projected wages you may lose due to a permanent or long-term injury.

Pain and suffering

Compensation for the "intangibles" — emotional trauma, psychological distress, and the ways an accident changes your daily life.
In addition to serving English-speaking personal injury victims, Ward Law is passionate about providing bilingual legal services to the Spanish-speaking community. Don't let language become a barrier to getting the compensation you deserve.

What to Do After a Car Accident

01

Timing matters when it comes to protecting your claim. We guide you through every step, starting the moment you call us.

Immediately after a car accident occurs, contact your insurance company to open a claim. If you intend to sue the negligent party, consult your state's statute of limitations. Many states require that you file a lawsuit within a designated period — usually within two years. After that window closes, you may lose your right to pursue compensation even in cases of serious negligence.

02

Reach out to an attorney as soon as possible. Your attorney will handle all communication between you and the insurance company until your case is resolved. In the meantime, make sure you receive a medical evaluation within 14 days of your accident — evaluations that occur outside of this timeframe may not be admissible in court.

03

When you contact Ward Law early, we send investigators to the accident site to collect photographic evidence, witness statements, and police reports. We will also help you obtain a vehicle damage assessment and submit the necessary paperwork — including a settlement demand letter — to the insurance company.

04

From there, we'll help you document the full picture: your medical bills, the care you've received, and any lost income resulting from your injuries. All of this builds a strong case on your behalf and puts you in a better position when the insurance company pushes back.
