Car Accident FAQ
How soon should I contact a lawyer after a car accident?
It’s best to reach out as soon as possible. Early involvement can help preserve evidence, such as photos, witness information, and vehicle data, before it becomes harder to obtain.
What if the other driver was uninsured or underinsured?
You may still have options, including a claim under your own uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage, depending on your policy. We can help review your coverage and explain what may apply to your situation.
How much does it cost to work with Braz Law?
Case evaluations are free. Almost every injury attorney represents accident victims on a contingency basis – meaning the attorney gets paid only if there is a recovery. We’ll discuss the fee arrangement further during your consultation so you understand how the firm is compensated.
Do I have to go to court?
Many car accident claims are resolved through negotiation with insurance companies, but we prepare every case as though it may need to go to trial, and will discuss the right path for your specific situation.
