Auto accident law firms handle personal injury and wrongful death claims. Some attorneys are members of ATLA (American Trial Lawyers Association) and CTLA (California Trial Lawyer Organization). There is also another forum—the Million Dollar Forum. This forum is a prestigious organization of attorneys who resolved cases for over 1 million dollars.
An auto accident law firm should be business-like, but should also be “friendly” enough to learn about your life prior to the accident or, in the case of a loved one, a wrongful death. If an auto accident law firm understands your standard of living prior to the accident, it has a better grip on your lifestyle and can fight for the compensation you deserve based on your lowered standard of living.
Auto accident law firms are used to dealing with insurance companies who do not offer fair settlements, and will fight to get a fair settlement for you or will take the case to trial to try to get the best possible outcome for your case.
