“I felt confident really right from the start that Terry knew how to approach this problem, that he had had a lot of experience, and also he was very clear about everything upfront.”
– Kathy Eliscu, auto accident victim
At Garmey Law, our Maine accident lawyers understand that being involved in a vehicle accident – whether it involves a car, truck, bus, bicycle, boat, or something else – can be an unexpected and life-altering event. Our Portland-based motor vehicle accident lawyers have experience guiding accident victims throughout Maine through each step of their journey to recovery, from negotiating with insurance adjusters to filing a lawsuit if required.
Like other plaintiff’s firms, we work on a contingency fee basis. This means that our clients never pay us a dime unless we win them money. And, no matter how big or small your case is, we work hard to put as much money in your pocket as possible. For us, maximizing our client’s recovery is a matter of pride.
Commonly Asked Questions
Your first priority should be moving yourself to safety and calling the police. The police will gather information and create a police report, which can often be crucial to the insurance claim process and any subsequent lawsuit. Document the accident (including skid marks and vehicle damage) with photos or video if possible. Of course, when you’ve been injured, getting better is the most important thing: you should seek medical attention immediately and follow medical advice.
If you have been injured in an accident, you should contact an attorney to ensure you get the compensation you will need for your injuries. With so many people asking questions about the accident and possibly asking you to sign documents you don’t understand, you need an ally in your corner.
At Garmey Law, our motor vehicle accident lawyers routinely handle negotiations with insurance adjusters and have the experience to know when it’s the right time to settle your claim and what it’s worth. Our top-notch paralegals will collect your medical bills and records and keep track of your leans so that you can focus on getting better.
Every case, like every client, is unique. Your case will likely take several months to several years, depending on the nature of your injuries and your recovery from those injuries. This can be difficult for anyone to handle, especially when coping with an injury. When you work with our Maine car accident lawyers, we are dedicated to making this process easier for you. We will work with you to try to expedite the process whenever we can, but our number-one priority is maximizing your recovery. If your case cannot be settled, we will discuss your options going forward, such as filing a lawsuit in a Maine court.
