While our car accident attorneys usually try to negotiate a fair settlement with the insurance company before filing a lawsuit in a car crash case, we do not hesitate to go to trial if necessary to stand up to the insurance company and protect your rights. The attorneys in our firm are committed to zealously protecting your rights and fighting to achieve fair compensation for your claim, whether in pre-suit settlement negotiations, mediation, arbitration or trial. Although automobile accidents are an unfortunate fact of life, victims can help ensure that their interests are protected by working with the experienced car accident attorneys of Teague & Glover.

While insurance is designed to pay compensation to balance an auto accident victim’s economic issues, it is important to recognize that insurance companies are businesses, and making a profit is their primary goal, and every dollar the insurance company saves on your claim is another dollar of profit for the insurance company. Insurance companies often try to pressure victims to quickly settle a claim for less than its true value, and those insurance companies have an on-call team of adjusters, investigators and attorneys who will join forces to quickly minimize the amount of money paid to accident victims. That's why you need an experienced, caring and determined attorney willing to stand up to the insurance company to help make sure you get all that the law says you are entitled to.

If you are injured in a automobile collision, you have no legal obligation to make any statement to the responsible party’s insurance company, and you should not talk to the negligent person and his or her insurance company without first consulting an experienced personal injury attorney. If you are hurt, You should see your doctor immediately and do everything your doctor tells you to do. You should take pictures of the vehicles involved, as well as of any lacerations, bruises or other visible injuries that you suffered. These steps will assist your attorney in making a full and fair financial recovery in your case.

Our automobile accident attorneys will personally meet with you; go to the scene of the wreck; interview and/or take the depositions of any eyewitnesses; use private investigators, as necessary; speak to or take the depositions of your doctor; interview family members; and take all other steps necessary to document or prove your claim. Our personal injury attorneys will represent you through all stages of the claims process in order to help you recover the compensation that the law says you are entitled to as a result of your injuries and financial losses. These damages may include compensation for property damage, past and future medical expenses, present and future loss of earnings, permanent injury, scarring, physical pain, mental suffering and aggravation, and other damages.
