How We Can Help After a Head-On Collision in Allentown
If you are dealing with the consequences of a head-on collision in Allentown, there are several ways our attorneys will be able to help you. In this scenario, we strongly advise against trying to handle your situation on your own. Here are some of the reasons why:
- To recover just compensation, you must be able to prove that the other driver (or some other factor) was responsible for the head-on collision.
- The financial and non-financial costs of pursuing serious and fatal accidents can be far greater than most people realize.
- Approval from the Department Revenue as well as Court approval is always needed in fatality cases. An experienced wrongful death attorney knows the documents that need to be filed for approval.
- Even when you are dealing with life-altering circumstances and are clearly entitled to financial compensation, the insurance companies will still fight to avoid liability. The insurance company views you and your family’s loss as a “transaction” to be closed.
With our extensive experience representing victims and families after all types of car accidents, we can take all of the necessary steps to seek the compensation you deserve, and we can make sure you do not fall victim to the insurance companies’ tactics. When you choose our firm to handle your head-on collision case in Allentown, we will:
Thoroughly Investigate the Accident to Establish Liability
As with all types of car accidents, seeking just compensation for a serious or fatal head-on collision starts with proving that the other driver (or some other factor) was the cause of the crash. Once you engage our firm to represent you, we will work quickly to conduct a thorough investigation focused on establishing liability.
While this will involve conducting an on-scene investigation, it will likely involve gathering evidence from other sources as well. For example, if the other driver crossed the center line because he or she was drunk or distracted, the driver’s receipts or phone records could be key evidence in support of your claim for financial compensation.
Calculate the Lifetime Financial Costs of the Head-On Collision
If you have a claim for a head-on collision in Allentown, you are entitled to just compensation for all of the lifetime financial costs of the accident. This includes medical bills, other out-of-pocket expenses, and lost earnings (or lost financial contributions in the case of wrongful death).
Our lawyers can calculate the lifetime costs you are entitled to recover. In cases involving serious and fatal head-on collisions, victims’ and families’ future costs will far exceed the costs they incur through the date of their verdict or settlement (if their case is successful). We will carefully calculate the future costs you are entitled to recover so that you do not face any adverse financial consequences unnecessarily.
Calculate Just Compensation for Your Non-Financial Losses
Along with their lifetime financial costs, head-on collision victims and their families are entitled to just compensation for their non-financial losses as well. Non economic losses include those losses and harms that are difficult to value, such as pain and suffering, emotional trauma, permanent scarring, loss of companionship and consortium, and loss of enjoyment of life.
Unlike the financial costs of a serious or fatal accident, there is no way to “add up” the non-financial consequences of a head-on collision. Instead, calculating just compensation for these losses will involve understanding (and documenting) all of the various ways the accident will impact your life in the years or decades ahead.
Deal with the Insurance Companies for You
Regardless of the circumstances you are facing, you can expect the insurance companies to put their interests first. Our Allentown head-on collision attorneys can deal with the insurance companies for you while you focus on recovering and being with your family.
When dealing with the insurance companies on your behalf, our priority will be to negotiate a fair settlement that allows you to begin the process of moving forward. No amount of money can ever give you back what you and your family has lost, but a monetary settlement can provide the means to move forward. If a settlement offer is on the table, we will help you understand what settling would mean for the future, and we will help you make an informed decision about whether to accept.
Take Your Head-On Collision Case to Court if Necessary
If you do not receive an acceptable settlement offer in your head-on collision case, we are fully prepared to take your case to court if necessary. We have secured numerous substantial settlements and verdicts for our clients.
If we need to take your case to court, we will continue to remain in close contact with you throughout the process. Even in this scenario, settlement remains a possibility, and sometimes cases settle just before trial. As your case progresses, we will keep you fully updated and informed, and we will do everything we possibly can to ensure that you secure the outcome you deserve.
