If you’ve been in a car accident, you may wonder if you need to hire an attorney to represent you. Perhaps you think your case is cut and dried and that the other driver involved is clearly at fault. Or, you may have already been contacted by an insurance company and trust a fair settlement is forthcoming. However, there is much to consider in the aftermath of an accident. Here’s why hiring an experienced attorney is a good choice:

  1. Who’s Looking Out for You? – In the case of an accident, a negligent driver wants to shift the blame away from themselves. They may already have a lawyer working for them to do just that. Insurance companies have their bottom lines to consider and will want to pay the least amount of money possible. Your attorney is the only one guarding your best interests and advocating for you.
  2. Knowing Your Rights – California law is complex. Your attorney will be well-versed in the law and familiar with local attorneys and judges. You may be eligible for damages that you are not aware of.
  3. Following Procedures and Protocols – Lawsuits involve paperwork and deadlines for filing. After an accident, especially if you are recovering from serious injuries, trying to stay abreast of your case’s technical aspects can be overwhelming. An attorney will handle all those details, and all phone calls regarding your case will go to him.
  4. Building the Strongest Case Possible – Your attorney will conduct their own independent investigation into your accident. Assembling all the evidence, interviewing witnesses, and even calling in experts to support your case.
  5. Getting the Appropriate Settlement – You have probably seen a mountain of medical bills come in since your accident, but the compensation you need will extend beyond that. If your injuries have caused you to miss work or may result in permanent changes to your abilities, an attorney can calculate the damages that will cover your current and future expenses and losses related to the accident.

Cost is one final reason an accident victim may hesitate to contact an attorney. We want you to know that there are no attorney’s fees for you until you receive compensation. It’s worth a call to find out how we can help.

From the very start of my case the Tiemann Law Firm was wonderful. Perter came all the way to my home to sit down and talk to me about my options. He made me and my partner feel very comfortable and promised us he would take the very best care of my case. Peter kept me informed every step of the way and was always on top of things. everything was done in a timely manor and I always felt like I was the only case he was working on because he was so fast. In the end Peter got me back way more money than I ever expected. I would recommend this law firm to everyone. I am very happy with the outcome of my case thanks to the Tiemann Law Firm! Thank you!

I just saw my lawyer Jelena Tiemann on a t.v ad, which reminded me how much she helped when I was in a desperate situation. I just love her! That is why I feel a need to tell everyone. I had a situation that happened & didn’t know what to do, our where to go. I didn’t even know if she could help me or if any lawyer could. All I wanted was it to go away & was afraid most lawyers wanted to drag it out & possibly go to court. For one she was very professional but was very personable (maybe b.c she’s a lady). She didn’t make me feel embarrassed or self-conscious that I did something wrong or was the cause of the situation. She immediately said we should try our best before going to court. Let me handle some paperwork, if at the last we do go to court we have documents. She gave me all the details, pros and cons but reassured me she deals with these cases all the time. She came through and made it as painless as possible. I now have my life back.
