Suppose you are headed home after work one day, driving safely, and not allowing distractions to affect your commute. Suddenly, from out of nowhere, a driver sideswipes your car after driving through a red light in an intersection. You may now be facing serious injuries and financial hardship. Your injuries may be severe enough that you are unable to return to work, and therefore, unable to even pay your normal monthly bills. You may also be uncertain of how to get the medical treatments you need—and how to pay for those treatments. Even for those with medical insurance, a twenty percent copay can quickly turn into a mountain of debt. When you are feeling overwhelmed, turn to an experienced Horizon City car accident lawyer from Harmonson Law Firm.

Following a Horizon City car accident, you may be facing costs for your damaged vehicle, medical expenses, lost current and future wages, and pain and suffering. Medical expenses can include the cost of an ambulance, ER charges, surgical costs, physician expenses, prescription drug costs, and the long-term cost of physical therapy or continued medical care.
If you are unable to return to work for a few weeks, you could be entitled to lost wages. If your injuries leave you unable to return to work for years—or ever—you could be entitled to lost future wages.

What is the Car Accident Claim Process?
Once you have chosen a Horizon City car accident lawyer from Harmonson Law Firm, we will immediately begin investigating your car accident to prove liability. We will gather all information regarding your injuries and help and guide you with your medical treatment related to the accident. Once you are done with your medical treatment, we will begin building a damages package that will fully cover all your car accident-related damages.
That package will be submitted to the at-fault driver’s insurance company, then negotiations will ensue. We will fight zealously to ensure all your damages are fully covered. If the insurer refuses to pay a fair settlement, we will file a lawsuit and take the claim to court. Whether your case ends in a negotiated settlement or a verdict in court, you can expect your settlement check usually within six weeks.
How Do You Prove Fault Following a Car Accident?
It is necessary to prove fault in order to get the best settlement possible. Your attorney will prove fault in a variety of ways. The police report may state which driver was at fault, or there may be witnesses who can show that the other driver caused the accident. In many areas, there are either traffic cameras or there is video from nearby shops or businesses that can show which driver was at fault.
How Do You Choose the Best Horizon City Car Accident Lawyer?
It is important that you choose a Horizon City car accident lawyer who has the necessary qualifications to ensure a successful outcome for your case. Some people ask friends, co-workers, or family members for a referral when looking for a car accident lawyer. Others may choose to look on the Internet to find a firm that seems like a good fit.
