Money lingers on the mind like a curse in this day and age. With inflation pushing the cost of living ever higher, how can you afford a lawyer’s advice in the wake of a dangerous accident? Wouldn’t it be financially easier if you worked with the meager settlement that an insurance provider offered you?
Vaughan & Vaughan understands how your financial concerns may make you reluctant to pursue legal action against the party liable for your recent crash. That’s why we take steps to break down the financial barriers separating you from the civil justice you deserve. Our Indiana motorcycle accident lawyers work on contingency specifically for your benefit.
If you’re ready to learn more about what steps you can take toward justice if you can’t afford a motorcycle accident lawyer, let our team know. We can stand with you and ease your financial concerns while representing your best interests before a civil judge.
Vaughan & Vaughan Operates on Contingency
When you reach out to an attorney, the last thing you want to start worrying about is the cost of paying for their legal advice. Fortunately, Vaughan & Vaughan takes a two-fold approach to your financial concerns. First and foremost, we offer free case consultations. This means you can come and discuss our legal services without paying for our initial advice.
Second, we offer our legal representation in civil court free of charge. Vaughan & Vaughan specifically works on contingency. Our contingency fee agreements state that we will not get paid unless we win your case.
Those same agreements also state that we can accept a percentage of your won settlement as payment for our services. In other words, you never have to dip into your savings to pay for Vaughan & Vaughan’s legal services. We do not take money from you that you’ve saved or otherwise designated for other purposes.
You can learn more about our contingency fee agreements and payment policies during one of those free case consultations in the weeks following your accident.
We Fight to Maximize Your Possible Settlement
Vaughan & Vaughan doesn’t only prioritize your right to stress-free legal representation. We also make a point of trying to maximize your right to a motorcycle accident settlement. In maximizing the settlement you can receive from a liable party, we ensure that you have the funds to pay off the medical bills and other expenses related to your recent accident.
Let’s Calculate Your Possible Damages
When we calculate the value of your motorcycle accident case, we take both your economic and non-economic accident losses into account. This means that we advocate for your right to compensation for your emotional distress as well as your medical expenses and property damage.
The losses we can include in your motorcycle accident claim can specifically include the following:
- Medical bills
- Long-term physical therapy and pain management
- Lost wages
- Property damage, restoration, repair, and rentals
- Emotional distress
- Stress
- Mental anguish
We Can Streamline Settlement Negotiations
One of the most straightforward ways to receive damages after a motorcycle accident is to negotiate for the support you deserve. Our Indiana motorcycle accident lawyers can arrange settlement negotiations with the party liable for your losses after we file a personal injury claim in your name.
We can then mediate these negotiations, always harkening back to the estimated compensation that we believe you deserve. We do not accept lowball settlements and can defend your right to comprehensive support with evidence taken from your accident scene.
We Can Go to Court on Your Behalf
Unfortunately, there can come a point where motorcycle accident settlement negotiations fall through. You’re not out of legal options, though. Vaughan & Vaughan’s motorcycle accident lawyers in Indiana can take your case before a judge. While this process can take a considerable amount of time to resolve, we can still fight for the compensation you deserve.
What’s more, going to civil court may entitle you to punitive damages. You cannot include a request for punitive damages in your initial motorcycle accident claim. Instead, Indiana’s civil courts can choose to award you punitive damages in the face of unreasonable or grossly-negligent behavior on the defendant’s part.
Punitive damages add value to the settlement you can walk away from a motorcycle accident claim with, but these damages are only available if you take your case to a judge. While Vaughan & Vaughan can never promise that you may receive punitive damages, you can discuss their role in your case, if applicable, during a case consultation.
Vaughan & Vaughan Values Financial Transparency in Its Motorcycle Accident Cases
You have the right to pursue legal action after a motorcycle accident, regardless of the severity of your losses. The cost of legal action should not prevent you from seeking justice for someone else’s negligence. Vaughan & Vaughan won’t let it. We operate on contingency. That means we only get paid for our legal services if we win your case.
You can discuss our contingency fees during an initial case consultation after your accident. We’re available to schedule your evaluation by phone or through the Vaughan & Vaughan website.
