Attorney Dail Cantrell and his team have recovered notable verdicts and settlements in motor vehicle accident cases. We act quickly to obtain police reports, preserve evidence at the crash scene and talk to witnesses. In severe or complex crashes, we may use private investigators and accident reconstruction specialists to illustrate how the other driver was negligent. We also work with medical experts and other professionals to determine appropriate compensation for medical bills and ongoing care, lost income, and the personal suffering.
There are several important things you can do to protect your rights and maximize your compensation:
Gather evidence — If possible, take photos of the accident scene, your injuries and the damage to your vehicle, and get names and numbers of witnesses.
Seek medical attention promptly — Minor injuries may turn out to be serious injuries. Also, delay in seeing a doctor can be used by insurers to downplay your compensation.
Don't talk to adjusters or sign anything — The insurance company will use verbal or written statements against you. The adjuster may also try to get you to accept a low settlement that does not cover your needs.
Contact an attorney soon — We know what evidence is important and how to protect your rights. We take on all the burdens, including dealing with the insurance companies.
Don't shortchange yourself by talking to the insurance company or providing a statement about the accident. The questions that insurance adjusters ask are written by attorneys with the goal of turning your words and your honesty against you.
It is part of our representation to intervene with the insurance companies on your behalf. We will stand up for your rights and demand full value for your injury claim. Insurers are familiar with Dail Cantrell's record of notable results, which often translates to timely and favorable settlements for our clients or victory at trial.
