Medical bills, property damage, and even legal fees can add up quickly. Then there’s the insurance claim process: dealing with the adjuster, determining the party at fault, tracking down the insurance policy, and filing the insurance claim itself. When it comes to getting maximum compensation for your car accident case, you might not know where to start — and the insurance company won’t help. That’s why we offer a free case evaluation: We’ll tell you honestly whether your personal injury claim is worth pursuing, and if so, what steps we will take to win.
Use our legal checklist to learn what to do after an accident and understand key legal considerations for recovering financial compensation.

A Legal Team with Inside Knowledge of Insurance Companies
Many of our highly experienced car accident attorneys started their careers working for insurance companies. They understand how adjusters work and how insurance claims are processed. They know how insurance companies give low initial settlement offers, and they know where to look for additional insurance coverage that can provide maximum compensation in your car accident case.
At the law firm of Brown & Crouppen, our auto accident attorneys work hard to take care of you and make this process easier. We help car accident victims get fair compensation and the justice they deserve.
Why Isn’t the Insurance Company Helping Me?
Dealing with insurance companies can be extremely frustrating. Remember, insurance companies have one goal: To collect as many premium dollars as possible while paying out as few car accident claim dollars as possible. They don’t always have your interests at heart. That’s why it’s important to hire a car accident lawyer that understands how insurance companies work.

Understanding How Much Your Auto Accident Case May Be Worth
Auto accident settlement amounts are influenced by several factors, including the severity and type of injuries sustained. For example, back and neck injury settlements can often include claims of chronic pain and long-term disability, which generally result in higher compensation due to their lasting impact. Concussions and other traumatic brain injuries also play a significant role, as they can cause cognitive impairment and require extensive medical treatment. The presence of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) following an accident can increase settlement amounts, reflecting the psychological toll of the incident and the need for ongoing therapy.
Additionally, economic damages such as lost wages and medical expenses are critical in determining the final settlement, as they directly quantify the financial losses incurred by the victim.
