Tucson Car Accident Lawyer

When injured in a car accident many questions arise regarding the claims procedure and other legal matters.  For a few common questions, please see the FAQs below.  For more detailed information regarding your car accident, contact a Tucson car accident lawyer who can assist you with your personal injury claim.

Do I even need an attorney?

There is always the potential in a car accident of having your claim disputed or denied by the other party, which could leave you with injuries and no way to pay for your medical care.  Even when it is clearly the other person' fault and their insurance company wants to settle with you, they do not have your best interests in mind when they offer you a settlement.  To protect your interests, you need someone working on your side who knows the ins and outs of the claims process.

Who pays for the doctor bills?

When you have been injured due to someone else's negligence, you are entitled to recover damages for your medical costs.  Many treating doctors will await the settlement of your claim if they know it is pending, while others will require that you pay with your own medical insurance or pay them directly.  The Knowles Law Firm, PLC knows how to work with the doctors and insurance companies to ensure you get the medical treatment you deserve until your claim is settled and payment to them is forthcoming.

Do I have to file a lawsuit?

Fortunately, most cases settle out of court through aggressive negotiation, which the firm can assist you with.  Occasionally the other party's insurance company will refuse to accept liability or will offer an unacceptable amount as a settlement based on the degree of your injury.  The attorneys at the firm have the knowledge and skill to represent you in court as necessary to pursue the compensation you deserve.
