Savannah Car Accident Attorneys
When an individual is involved in a car accident, a few of the many questions that immediately arise include, “What are my legal rights if another driver struck my vehicle?” “What kind of monetary compensation am I entitled to, and how can I make sure I am receiving the proper amount?” As well, an accident victim may ask, “Is my insurance company’s offer fair?”
It is quite difficult to understand the complexities of the laws and procedures that follow a car accident. Many clients settle for lowball insurance settlements, only to regret it later. It is advisable to contact a knowledgeable and experienced car accident attorney to make sure that all matters are properly handled. Attorney Richard Sanders offers a no-cost consultation to discuss your case and to your legal options.
