Are you searching for a car accident and injury lawyer near Irvine, CA? What should you look for in an Irvine car accident and injury lawyer? What process should you use to choose an experienced and proven injury attorney? The short answer to these questions is experience, a proven and successful trial record including substantial verdicts, and the recommendations of clients, other injury attorneys and the legal industry.
The 3 things you need to do after any collision involving a motor vehicle are:
- See a doctor within 24 to 48 hours of the collision. If you don’t see a doctor, the insurance company will deny your otherwise valid personal injury claim.
- It is never in your best interests to speak with the insurance adjuster or even your own agent after an accident, before speaking with an experienced motor vehicle accident attorney. Insurance representatives have one job responsibility: get you to accept the lowest possible amount for your injury settlement. They will settle the property claim on your vehicle quickly, in an attempt to show they are really taking care of you. The property claim on your car is less than 10% of the check they must ultimately write you for your injuries in the vast majority of cases. They try to shine on the car repair so you will trust them when they attempt to convince you to settle the personal injury claim for FAR LESS than you deserve or are entitled to by law.
- I can work to achieve not only the highest possible settlement (or verdict) in your personal injury case, but I can negotiate to get your actual medical bills reduced, often by more than 30%. This ensures you have more money left over to recover from what has happened, and manage the long-term impact of your injuries and life going forward.
We asked a client, a Marine Corps Captain, to describe the process he used to select a personal injury attorney after sustaining serious injuries in a local motorcycle accident. He listed several qualities including honesty, experience and skill. “You don’t want to be a David going up against Goliath” (the adjusters and attorneys of the insurance companies). Watch his video “How Should You Select and Injury Attorney,” and learn some valuable insights from someone who has been through the process of recovering from serious injuries after an accident. He was searching for a car accident and injury lawyer near Irvine, found, interviewed and selected the Law Firm of Rivers Morrell.
My name is Rivers Morrell and I have served as an Irvine car accident and injury lawyer for more than 40 years. I spent much of my first 20 years representing the major insurance companies. I know their tactics and strategies. I can also tell you they keep close records on all personal injury attorneys. They know which attorneys can successfully put an injury case before a jury and those who have never achieved a verdict. Not all injury attorneys are alike. If an attorney will not put your case before a jury and achieve a successful verdict the insurance company has no reason to offer the maximum settlement available.
I invite you to review some of my significant verdicts and settlements, as well as the recommendations of fellow attorneys, the legal industry and the reviews of our clients.
