Do I Need to Hire a Santa Barbara Car Accident Attorney?
If you’re injured in a car accident that was caused by a negligent driver, you are not required by California law to hire legal representation. However, when you hire an attorney to represent your claim, you have a significantly higher chance of recovering the accident-damages you’re owed.
At MVP Accident Attorneys, our legal team can handle every aspect of your claim, including:
Investigating the Accident
After a car accident, evidence must be gathered as quickly as possible to give your claim the best chance of success. A car accident attorney on our legal team will conduct an in-depth investigation into the car crash to determine which party was liable.
They will gather evidence such as:
- Accident report
- Photos of the accident scene, your injuries, vehicle damage
- Photos of anything that may have contributed to or caused the crash, such as debris on the road, faulty traffic lights, or missing signage
- Medical records
- Medical bills
- Video surveillance footage
- Phone records
- Employment records (if applicable)
- Expert testimony
- Witness statements
And more.
Work With Experts
At MVP Accident Attorneys, our car accident lawyers often work with industry experts to uncover the truth, identify all liable parties, and accurately value a claim.
Some experts we work with include:
- Accident reconstruction experts
- Medical professionals
- Economists
- Forensic engineers
- Weather and road condition experts
- Psychiatrists
- Psychologists
- Cell phone and data experts
- Videographers
- Public safety experts
- Occupational therapists
- Life care planners
- Biomechanical experts
And more.
Settlement Negotiations
At MVP Accident Attorneys, our car accident lawyers know how to negotiate a fair settlement. Insurance adjusters often attempt to contact the accident victim as soon as possible after a collision, hoping they will accept a low settlement offer. They may even harass or pressure the injured party, calling several times a day. When you hire a car accident attorney on our legal team, those harassing phone calls will stop. We will take over all communication with the insurance company to protect your rights and your peace. If the claims adjuster refuses to make a fair offer, we can file a lawsuit on your behalf and present your case before a judge and jury.
Fortunately, most cases are settled out of court. Once the insurance company knows we have filed a lawsuit, they are often more willing to make a reasonable settlement offer.
Uber and Lyft Accident Lawyers
At MVP Accident Attorneys, our Lyft and Uber accident lawyers can help you recover compensation if you were injured in a collision involving a rideshare vehicle.
At MVP Accident Attorneys, we commonly handle a wide range of complex rideshare accident cases, including claims that involve:
- Injured rideshare passengers
- Rideshare drivers who were involved in a collision with a negligent motorist
- Drivers struck by negligent rideshare drivers
Our legal team is familiar with rideshare accident laws and know what types of evidence is needed to prove build a strong case and prove liability.
