Car accidents are a part of everyday life for the American population as a whole. Fortunately, most of these car accidents result in only minor injuries. In 2014, there were 2.34 million people injured and 32,675 people killed in motor vehicle crashes in the United States.

Dealing with medical treatments and bills, the loss of income from not being able to work, and having to find alternative transportation can become overwhelming. A Meridian car accident lawyer from Craig Swapp & Associates can be essential to successfully navigating your legal concerns while you concentrate on recovering.

Common Causes of Meridian Car Accidents

Most often, car accidents can be avoided if drivers practice safe driving. Driver negligence causes most Meridian car accidents:

Negligence is the primary cause of Meridian car accidents. A driver is considered negligent when he or she does not use sensible care and caution while operating a motor vehicle. If someone else caused your accident, a Meridian car accident lawyer from our firm can help you seek compensation for your accident-related expenses.

Common Injuries from Car Accidents

A car accident can have disastrous effects on the lives involved, resulting in financial burdens and decreased quality of life. For some, injuries are minor and the main inconvenience is maneuvering through insurance claims. Whichever category you fall into, a Meridian car accident lawyer from our office can help you with the aftermath.

Although you may not appear to have an injury immediately following your car accident, injury symptoms may not appear until hours or days after the crash. It is advisable to contact a medical professional and a Meridian car accident lawyer immediately following an accident—even if you feel fine.

Meridian car accidents can result in several types of injuries:

Minor injuries commonly require short-term care, while serious injuries may lead to a permanent disability such as paralysis, requiring extended medical care that lasts months or years.

Client Reviews

“I was concerned with all the paperwork”

Before calling your firm I had 2 big worries. One was I didn’t want to do more paper work, and that fear was resolved when I had to do very little, but Craig Swapp and Assoc. did most of it, and when I did have to come in to sign papers they worked around the times I could do it. Worry 2 was I didn’t want people to think I was “sue happy” and that I was just out to get money. I just wanted my bills to be paid for that were from the accident, and that was resolved I think by Mr. Wes Mortenson and Theresa because they listened to what I had to say.

"I would hire them in a second"

My biggest fear was not having all the expenses caused by the accident paid for in full. I was assured they would be taken care of but I admit I was skeptical. When we wrapped everything up (which happened quicker than I was originally told) I had extra money in my pocket. I honestly thought there was a catch but my attorney explained everything to me in detail. If I am ever in that position again I’ll be giving Craig Swapp a call.

"I was afraid of the fees"

I was afraid of the fees I would have to pay a lawyer. I waited over a year before hiring your law firm. I finally reached out to your online help where they were able to help me understand the process and what would happen. In all honesty I absolutely loved working with the individuals that were involved in my case. They were genuine & heartfelt about my case. It felt as though they really cared and were concerned about me, not just as a client but as a person.

"I was afraid that my issue was too small"

I was afraid that my issue was too small to be handled, and that it would just be rejected. Or that I’d end up having to pay for my medical expenses and any of your teams expenses. I would definitely answer yes, it was resolved! I wasn’t ever made out to feel like my little issue didn’t matter, and my expenses were paid for- just what I wanted/needed.

"I am very pleased with the results"

My biggest fear was that it would be pointless to pursue legal action in my case. I felt like maybe I didn’t have much of a case. After speaking with Paul, I realize it was not of my own fault and that others can be held responsible for the pain and suffering I went through.
