You Need an Accident Lawyer, But You Don’t Know Where to Start

You’re hurt. Your car is damaged. Bills are piling up. And now the insurance company is calling with questions you don’t know how to answer. You know you need an attorney, but where do you start? Who can you trust? How do you find someone who actually knows car accident cases and won’t just see you as another file on their desk?

That’s exactly why CALLMAA’s attorney referrals exist. One phone call connects you with experienced personal injury lawyers in your area who help people after car crashes, truck accidents, motorcycle wrecks, and other accidents. Attorneys in our network offer free consultations and work on a contingency, meaning you pay nothing unless you win.

You shouldn’t have to spend hours researching lawyers when you should be focusing on recovery.

How It Works: CALLMAA Takes the Guesswork Out of Finding an Attorney

Step 1: Contact CALLMAA

Tell us what happened. What injuries are you dealing with? Are you being pressured by insurance to settle quickly? This conversation takes less than five minutes. We listen, we assess your needs, and we identify which attorneys in our network are the best fit for your specific situation. There’s no cost to call and no obligation to move forward. We’re here to help you understand your options.

Step 2: We Match You with the Right Accident Attorney

We connect you with an attorney who handles personal injury cases. These attorneys know local courts, understand state laws, and have track records of successful settlements and verdicts. Every attorney in CALLMAA’s network offers a free consultation and works on contingency, which means you pay nothing up front and nothing unless you win your case.

We make the introduction, and you speak directly with the attorney to discuss your situation. If it feels like the right fit, you move forward together. If not, we help you find someone else.

Step 3: Your Injury Lawyer Fights for You

Once you have an attorney, they take over the fight with the insurance company. They gather evidence, review your medical records, calculate what your case is worth, and handle all negotiations. You focus on healing while your attorney builds your case. They deal with the adjusters, the paperwork, the deadlines, and the legal complexities.

Your attorney’s job is to get you fair compensation for your injuries, lost wages, medical bills, and pain and suffering. They know the tactics insurance companies use, and they know how to counter them.

Accident Cases Our Attorney Network Handles

CALLMAA connects you with attorneys who focus on auto accidents and personal injury cases. Here are some of the most common types of accidents lawyers in our network handle.

This includes rear-end collisions, T-bone crashes, head-on collisions, sideswipes, and multi-vehicle pileups. We work with car accident lawyers who know how to build a strong case and deal with insurance companies that try to shift blame or minimize your injuries. The car accident attorneys in CALLMAA’s network are committed to fighting for your rights.

Accidents involving commercial trucks are complex. Trucking companies have their own legal teams that show up fast to protect their interests. You need an attorney who understands the trucking industry, knows how to obtain black box data and driver logs, and isn’t intimidated by corporate legal departments. The attorneys in CALLMAA’s network have handled truck accident cases and know how to fight for victims against well-funded trucking companies.

Insurance companies often will look for any reason to blame motorcycle riders, even when the car driver was clearly at fault. Motorcycle accidents tend to cause severe injuries. Our attorneys understand motorcycle laws, know how to counter insurance company bias, and have experience with the types of catastrophic injuries common in motorcycle crashes.

Rideshare accidents involve complicated insurance questions. Was the driver logged into the app? Did they have a passenger? Was the Uber or Lyft driver at fault, or was it another vehicle? Depending on the circumstances, you might be filing a claim against the rideshare driver’s personal insurance, the rideshare company’s commercial policy, or another driver’s insurance entirely.

The attorneys in CALLMAA’s network understand how rideshare insurance works and know which policies apply in different situations. They’ve handled claims against Uber, Lyft, and their insurers.

Pedestrian accidents often result in serious injuries because there’s no protection between you and the vehicle. Our attorneys know how to prove driver negligence in pedestrian accidents. They also understand the unique medical challenges pedestrian accident victims face and work with medical experts to document the full extent of your injuries and future needs.

How a Personal Injury Lawyer Helps Your Case

Picture this: You have someone in your corner who knows exactly how to handle insurance companies. Your attorney handles the negotiations so you’re not fielding calls from adjusters trying to get you to say the wrong thing. You’re not wondering if you should accept their offer or if there’s more you deserve. They also coordinates with your doctors to make sure your injuries are properly documented.

Attorney’s will calculate the full value of your case—not just your current medical bills, but future treatment costs, lost wages, and compensation for your pain and suffering. They know the difference between a fair settlement and a lowball offer. And because they work on contingency, they only get paid when you do. That means they’re motivated to fight for every dollar you deserve.

You get an advocate, a guide, and someone who won’t back down when insurance tries to pressure you into settling fast and cheap.

Common Mistakes to Avoid After an Accident

Without help after an accident, people can make costly mistakes. The system is confusing, and insurance companies count on that confusion. CALLMAA helps you avoid the missteps that could reduce your settlement or undermine your case.

Waiting Too Long to File a Lawsuit

Every state has a statute of limitations—a deadline for filing a lawsuit after a car accident. Miss that deadline and you lose your right to compensation, no matter how strong your case is. But here’s what most people don’t realize: you can’t wait until the last minute. Evidence disappears. Witnesses move away or forget details. Security camera footage gets deleted. Medical records become harder to obtain.

The sooner you connect with an attorney through CALLMAA, the stronger your case becomes. Your attorney can start preserving evidence, documenting your injuries, and building your case from day one.

Even if you have years before the statute of limitations expires, delay works in the insurance company’s favor. They hope you’ll forget details, lose paperwork, or just give up. An attorney keeps everything moving forward and makes sure nothing falls through the cracks.

Accepting a Settlement Before Talking to an Attorney

Insurance companies often make quick settlement offers, sometimes within days of your accident. They’ll act like they’re doing you a favor, offering to “take care of everything” right away. But these early offers are almost always far less than your case is worth. Once you accept and sign a release, you can’t go back for more money—even if your injuries turn out to be worse than you thought or your medical bills pile up.

An attorney knows how to calculate the true value of your case. They factor in current medical bills, future treatment costs, lost wages, diminished earning capacity, pain and suffering, and more. They know what cases like yours typically settle for, and they know when an offer is insulting. Before you accept anything from an insurance company, talk to an attorney.

Saying the Wrong Thing to Insurance Adjusters

The insurance company will call you. They’ll sound friendly and concerned. They’ll say they just need to “get your side of the story” or “clarify a few details.” But everything you say can be used to reduce or deny your claim.

Insurance adjusters are trained to get you talking. They’ll ask leading questions. They’ll request recorded statements. They’ll try to get you to admit partial fault or downplay your injuries. One offhand comment, like “I’m feeling okay” or “It wasn’t that bad,” can come back to haunt you when you’re negotiating your settlement.

When you have an attorney from the start, they handle all communication with insurance. You don’t have to worry about saying the wrong thing when your attorney does the talking for you.

Trying to Handle an Accident Case Yourself

You might think your case is straightforward. You were rear-ended, you have injuries, the other driver was clearly at fault—how hard could it be? But insurance companies have entire teams dedicated to minimizing payouts. They know the laws, they know the tactics, and they know most people don’t. They’ll ask you questions designed to weaken your case. They’ll request recorded statements that they’ll use against you later. They’ll downplay your injuries and pressure you to settle quickly.

Without an attorney, you’re negotiating blind. You don’t know what your case is worth. You don’t know what evidence to gather or how to present it. You don’t know which medical records matter most or how to document future damages. Insurance adjusters negotiate claims every single day. For you, this is probably your first time. The playing field isn’t level—and trying to go it alone usually means leaving money on the table. An attorney levels that playing field.

Medical Treatment for Accident Injuries

CALLMAA connects you with experienced medical professionals who have helped many patients recover from auto accidents. Your doctor documents your injuries in ways that support your legal claim. Your attorney understands your medical needs and makes sure you’re getting appropriate care.

If you need specialists, additional treatment, or long-term care, your attorney factors that into your case value.

Auto Repair

With CALLMAA, you don’t have to worry about finding a reliable body shop or fighting the insurance company to pay you fairly for the damage to your vehicle. Our auto repair network can help with getting your car fixed. Your lawyer makes sure repair costs and rental car expenses are documented.

If your car is totaled, your attorney knows how to challenge lowball valuations from insurance companies.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does hiring a car accident attorney cost?

Car accident attorneys in CALLMAA’s network work on a contingency fee, meaning they only get paid if you get paid. They take a percentage of your settlement or verdict. If you don’t recover compensation, you don’t owe them anything.

There’s no financial risk to hiring an experienced attorney. In fact, studies show that accident victims with attorneys recover significantly more money on average, even after attorney fees, than those who handle claims themselves.

Who pays my medical bills after a car crash?

Ultimately, the at-fault driver’s insurance company should pay your medical bills after a car accident. However, the timing can be complicated because the insurance company typically won’t pay your medical expenses until your case is resolved. In the meantime, your own health insurance may cover some of your treatment, or you might be responsible for paying bills out of pocket initially.

CALLMAA connects people with medical providers who work on what’s called a “lien” basis. This means you receive treatment right away with no out-of-pocket costs. Your doctor is paid later from your settlement.

How much is my car accident case worth?

It depends on the severity of your injuries, the amount of your medical bills, your lost wages, your future medical needs, the extent of your pain and suffering, how clear the other driver’s fault is, and the available insurance coverage. Your car accident attorney evaluates all these factors.

Never accept an insurance company’s first offer without having a lawyer review it. Those initial offers are almost always far below what your case is actually worth.

Do I have to go to court?

Most car accident cases settle before trial. Insurance companies often settle once they see you have strong representation and solid evidence. However, your attorney needs to be prepared to take your case to court if the insurance company won’t offer fair compensation.

Having a car accident lawyer willing to go to trial increases your chances of getting a fair settlement offer. Insurance companies don’t want to risk a jury awarding you even more.

How long does a car accident settlement take?

The timeline for a car accident claim can vary significantly, but most cases settle within six months to two years. Simple cases with minor injuries might settle within a few months. Complex cases involving severe injuries or disputes over fault can last a year or longer.

While it can be frustrating to wait, it’s important not to rush into a settlement just to get money quickly. Your car accident attorney will work efficiently to resolve your case, but they’ll also make sure you’re not accepting less than you deserve just to speed up the process.

What if I am partially at fault for a car accident?

Many states allow you to recover compensation even if you share some fault for a car wreck, including Missouri. The money you recover may be reduced by your percentage of fault, but you can still pursue a claim. Your attorney can explain how comparative negligence laws apply to your case.

Insurance companies often try to shift blame to reduce what they pay, so having a lawyer who can fight back is crucial.
