What to Expect During a Free Case Evaluation with a Riverside Motor Vehicle Accident Attorney

If you’ve been involved in an auto accident and want to speak to a personal injury attorney, then you’ve likely seen offers for a free case evaluation. In fact, Law Offices of Fernando D. Vargas offers a free case evaluation. But what does that mean? What does it cover? And what should you expect? We know this is a trying time for you, which is why we’ve provided a general outline of what you can expect.

Briefly explain your accident to your Riverside motor vehicle accident attorney

The first step will be for you to briefly share your story with us. We don’t need every single detail at this point but we do need an overview. Let us know what type of accident you had, what information you have from the police, what property of yours was damaged, and what injuries were caused by the accident.

We’ll ask for more information as needed

Once you’ve given your brief overview of what happened, your ç will ask any clarifying questions we need. At this point, you may not have answers for everything we ask – and that’s okay. We’re trying to obtain as much information as we can but some issues we may need to clear up after your free case evaluation.

For example, if we ask about economic losses and you don’t have a specific outline of your lost wages, medical bills, etc., that’s fine – we can work with financial experts to determine a reasonable estimate of all short-term and long-term financial losses and economic damages.

We’ll go over your options with you

Next we’ll go over your options. As your Riverside motor vehicle accident attorney, we’re willing to go to court if necessary but in many cases the best option is to settle out of court. We can work directly with the insurance companies and other attorneys to ensure you get the best possible outcome for your case.

We have been working on these types of cases for decades and Attorney Vargas even got his start as a Riverside motor vehicle accident attorney working for an insurance company. As a result, he knows what a low ball offer looks like and knows how to get a reasonable counter offer accepted.

We’ll go over our contingency agreement

One of the great things about working with Law Offices of Fernando D. Vargas is that we take cases on a contingency basis. This means that you won’t owe us a penny until we win your case. It also means that if we don’t win your case, then we don’t get paid. In fact, we’ll be out the court costs, cost of expert witnesses, filing fees, etc.

What’s more, our agreed upon payment will be a percentage of your total award. As a result, we not only want to ensure you win your case, but you can feel totally confident that we’ll work for the biggest possible settlement. After all, our payment depends on it!
