After suffering severe injuries to his knee in an accident that was not his fault, the New Bedford man went to Attorney Gouveia, managing attorney of the New Bedford office at d’Oliveira and Associates, for help. He was driving down a main street in New Bedford when another driver failed to stop at a stop sign and crashed into him. As a result of the car accident he suffered numerous injuries and required ongoing treatment and therapy to get better. He suffered from ongoing pain and was unable to return to his job for almost a year. Because of this, he lost a substantial amount in wages. He reached out to Attorney Gouveia for help, and she was able to negotiate with the insurance company to get him a large settlement for his injuries, lost wages, and pain and suffering. It is important to hire an experienced New Bedford car accident lawyer who can handle your New Bedford car accident lawsuit and make sure you receive the compensation you deserve.
What if I Cannot Work After a Car Accident?
The expenses associated with a car accident can add up very quickly, especially when the injured party requires in-patient care, surgery or ongoing physical therapy. Recovery time also usually means lost time at work while personal bills and other expenses continue to mount. These circumstances can not only be stressful for an injured person, but can also present unique challenges when a lawsuit is involved. Unfortunately, insurance companies often try to save money by offering low settlements that do not take into account the losses the injured party has suffered.
Attorney Gouveia negotiated a favorable settlement for our client in this case, and commented, “A demand for settlement was made to the defendant’s insurance company, and an initial offer was made, which was insufficient. In order to increase, they wanted numerous prior medical records to clearly show any exacerbation of the traumatic injury. We obtained everything requested and once it was reviewed, the adjuster further negotiated and made a fair and reasonable settlement.” Our experienced car accident lawyers can evaluate your case and make sure you get the compensation you deserve while you focus on healing and getting back to work.
