An accident can drastically alter your life, especially if you sustain serious injuries. Additionally, accidents can cause severe financial hardship, lost wages, property damage, pain and suffering, and more.

Hiring a personal injury lawyer can help alleviate the burden of pursuing the accident cause and party responsible, preparing your claims, and negotiating with insurance companies for a settlement. During this time, you should be focused on your recovery.

A personal injury lawyer can work with you to document your injuries and losses and fight for compensation for your pain and suffering, medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, and more. Our Asbury Park personal injury lawyers at Kitrick, McWeeney & Wells, LLC can do the following:

• Investigate the cause of the accident and injuries and recover any physical evidence.
• Gather witness statements.
• Work with experts in medicine, physical, occupational, or vocational therapy, finance, engineering, automotive, and accident reconstruction to determine the cause of the accident and the liable party.
• Negotiate with insurance companies and defense lawyers to secure full and fair compensation, if possible.
• Represent you in court if the case goes to trial.

Insurance companies are notorious for fighting back and using relentless tactics to avoid paying settlements. They are in the business of making money, not spending it.

Typically, insurance companies either outright deny the claim or offer the bare minimum in a settlement, hoping you will give up. Unfortunately, this tactic works more than it should. Hiring a lawyer shows insurance companies the seriousness of your claims.

If someone else’s negligence injures you, you do not have to fight for justice alone. Our Asbury Park personal injury lawyers will stand by you every step of the way.
