Auto Accident Lawyer

Serving Chattanooga, Tennessee

Most adults in this country drive every day, whether to work, to school, or to run errands. We take it for granted and forget all the thousands of mechanical parts and personal decisions on which our safety depends. Then someone lets his or her attention slip for the second or fraction of a second necessary to cause an accident, or a vital component like a brake or a tire is defective and fails, and your life will never be the same.

If you or a loved one has been in an auto accident, it's important that you seek legal representation now. Whether the accident was your fault or someone else's, you need a Tennessee Auto Accident Attorney on your side, to protect your interests and get you the compensation you need.

Many people who suffer damages in an auto accident simply want to get the incident behind them as quickly as they can. While a speedy resolution is ideal, it is important that you understand, before agreeing to a settlement, the extent of your damages and injuries, and roughly how much compensation you are owed. Insurance companies especially count on your willingness to resolve an incident quickly and make it their policy to offer you a settlement they know is low. A Chattanooga Car Accident Attorney can help. Why should you accept less than you're entitled to?

Preserve Your Legal Rights

Here are tips for preserving your legal rights if you have an auto accident:

• Cooperate with the police.
• Seek medical attention for your injuries.
• Gather as much evidence and documentation as possible. Take pictures of the scene, of property damage, and any injuries you've suffered, and keep records of everything related to the accident.
• Contact your insurance agent as soon as possible, but do not provide any written or recorded statements to any insurance company representative-yours or the other driver's, without your attorney being present. Do not sign any waivers or settlement agreements until you've had time to thoroughly assess your damages and discuss the case with your attorney.
• Contact an experienced personal injury attorney
• Remember that some injuries are not immediately evident and can only be diagnosed by a physician
