Vehicle Collisions & Car Crashes

(If you've been hurt by a drunk driver, please take a look at one of our recent commercials on YouTube.)

A serious auto collision injury can literally turn one's life upside down. Lost wages, medical bills, car repairs and suffering during the rehabilitation process can be physically, financially and emotionally draining.

Unfortunately, victims of motor vehicle collisions often find themselves fighting large insurance companies that have only one goal - to pay as little as possible. The insurance companies have teams of attorneys and adjusters, along with years of experience in handling car wreck claims. Victims who try to handle their cases alone may face lengthy delays, confusing paperwork and procedures, and unfulfilled obligations.

Even if a wreck is simply a matter of careless driving, the insurance company of the driver at fault may be responsible for the victim's medical bills, lost wages, rental car, and pain and suffering. It's imperative that auto collision victims know their rights and receive proper handling in dealing with the insurance company.

Enlisting Heygood, Orr, Reyes, Pearson & Bartolomei to handle an auto collision claim is beneficial because:

• We know the law, what victims legally deserve, and what insurance companies are required to provide.
• We can help victims complete and file all appropriate paperwork, avoiding costly mistakes and explaining everything in plain English.
• We will work with you throughout a trial, or until a settlement is received.
