It Costs Nothing Up Front to Put Our Car Accident Team to Work on Your Case
You do not have to take on the at-fault driver or their insurance company on your own out of concern for how much a personal injury lawyer costs. Our car accident lawyers will accept your case on a contingency fee agreement.
This fee structure means you will not pay any upfront expenses or anything out of your own pocket for our service. Instead, we are compensated only after we recover compensation for you. If you do not receive a financial award, you will owe us no legal or attorney’s fees at all.
The Importance of Proving Negligence Caused Your Gaston County Car Accident
To recover damages from the other involved driver in your accident, you have to prove they were negligent. The required elements of negligence include:
- Duty of care
- Breach of duty
- Causation
- Damages
These elements help identify the at-fault party. They can be particularly helpful in complex car accident cases, including multi-vehicle, chain reaction, and hit and run accidents.
Our Investigation Will Document the Cause of Your Gaston County Car Accident
Our familiarity with personal injury and insurance law means we know how to prove the four elements of negligence. The evidence we collect to prove these elements can include:
- Medical records describing your injuries
- Accident report, including narrative and diagrams
- Accident scene photos and reconstruction report
- Statements from lay and expert witness
Your evidence collection will also include your medical bills, proof of income, and car repair or replacement estimates to document the value of your compensation request.
We will not ask you or your family to build your own evidence collection. Instead, our legal team collects and organizes your evidence. We also submit it to the at-fault party and their representatives on your behalf.
