A large portion of the Richard Harris Law Firm is devoted to representing people who were injured in motor vehicle accidents.  While we have reported on this subject previously in several blog posts, we realize that having information regarding all aspects of the accident itself, and the subsequent decisions of hiring a lawyer and going through the process of pursuing a fair claim, is confusing and intimidating. For that reason, we will be devoting the next several weeks to a series of articles which will attempt to make that activity more understandable and will give our clients and potential clients the information they need all in one place, during the sometimes long and arduous process of making a claim.  We’ll include links to past blog articles, and videos by attorney Richard Harris, relevant to the subject at hand.

We’ll begin with the accident itself and its immediate aftermath and move into when is the best time to hire a lawyer, with assistance for evaluating a potential lawyer to represent you in your case.  We’ll discuss what to expect in your initial consultation and what kind of information we need from you to pursue a case for you.  We’ll also touch on some of the obstacles you may encounter along the way in dealing with insurance companies, as well as treatment options which minimize your financial exposure but get you the treatment you need to be made whole.  If your case doesn’t settle through direct negotiations with the insurance company, we may need to file a case and take the liable parties to court.  This adds another level of complexity.  Our goal is to give you the information you need in advance so you can leave the details to us and allow you to focus on your recovery.
