Our injury lawyers at AutoAccident.com also take cases without any upfront payment. So, if we don’t win your case, you don’t have to pay us a dime.

What sets us apart from other, smaller Manteca personal injury lawyers is our financial resources and ability to take on more severe cases.

Even if you only have minor injuries, if an insurance company is lowballing you, you have no choice but to find a reputable and capable Manteca auto accident attorney to help you.

Insurance companies and other liable parties are less likely to offer lowball settlement offers when you have a lawyer. When we deal with them, they know that we understand how to evaluate a claim and calculate how much each claim is worth. They also know that we will not agree with an offer less than the maximum worth.

We are not intimidated by large insurance companies and know their typical negotiation and lowball offer strategies. They also know that we will readily take the case to trial if necessary.

Being seriously injured in an accident can be highly overwhelming to anyone. Beyond the excruciating pain, accident victims often experience a tremendous amount of anxiety as well. In addition, if you cannot work, your bills are most likely haunting you. Therefore, you must focus your time and energy on your recovery and your family. That is why finding a reputable and capable personal injury lawyer to handle your case is crucial.

There are many reputable and established lawyers to choose from in Manteca and throughout San Joaquin County. Unfortunately, choosing the right lawyer to help you is just as daunting as everything else you are dealing with. However, if you want a successful settlement or verdict, you will want the right Manteca car accident lawyer handling your case.

• Whether talking on the phone or meeting in person, do not discount your initial feelings while interacting with a potential lawyer. Instead, trust these feelings and choose the lawyer who gives you the best initial reaction.
• Choose an accident attorney who shows that they care about you and your family.
• If you need knee surgery, would you instead have a general practitioner or an orthopedic surgeon perform the operation? Of course, you would choose the orthopedic surgeon because knees are within their specialty. The same goes for lawyers. You do not want a general lawyer who practices all parts of the law for your serious personal injury case. Instead, you want to choose a lawyer with extensive experience who only practices California’s personal injury law.
• Whenever an accident results in serious injuries, there is always a chance that the case might go to trial. Most insurance companies do not want to pay exorbitant amounts for settlements and will do everything they can to weasel out of paying significant compensation to one person. If you have serious injuries that may affect you for the rest of your life, you will want to find a lawyer with significant trial experience. This is essential as your options include taking a highly undervalued settlement or trialing in San Joaquin County.
• Find a lawyer with a long history of successful settlements and verdicts. First, ask about the monetary amounts of the payments and verdicts the lawyer has won. Then, ask yourself if you would be happy with the outcome that an injury lawyer can obtain for you.
