Legal Questions? Need Help? We Have Answers
Accidents happen in the blink of an eye. One mistake, one misstep — that’s all it takes. But what if your injuries were out of your control? What if the accident wasn’t your fault? You may be faced with some of the most stressful times in your life and feel completely alone. Most victims of accidents (and their families) have questions. They’re not sure what to expect, what to do, how to deal with the insurance companies, or who to even contact for answers to their questions.
At Edgar Snyder & Associates, we want to help. We’ve answered some of the most common questions we hear all the time from accident victims and our past clients.
Answers to Common Questions When You Need Them Most After an Accident or Injury
Do I Have a Case?
After you’re injured in an accident — or a loved one is injured in an accident — this may be one of your biggest questions. After scene of the accident…after the Emergency Room, after the shock has worn off…you may still face piles of medical bills, time off work, and a large amount of stress. There are a lot of factors that go into determining whether you have a case. Learn more
Do I Need a Lawyer?
Too often accident victims try to handle the insurance companies on their own, only to find out too late that they did something or said something that hurt their claim. The insurance companies have attorneys on their side fighting for them. If the insurance company is trying to offer you a settlement, wants you to give a recorded statement, or is giving you the run-around, you may need a lawyer. Find out if you may need a lawyer
How Much Will it Cost?
Attorney fees can vary, so you may not be sure what you’re getting into when you hire one.

If you don’t win your case, you won’t owe anything. At Edgar Snyder & Associates, there’s never a fee unless we get money for you. Read more
What’s My Case Worth?
The amount that you receive for your case — whether you decide to settle with the insurance company or continue on in the legal process — can vary by thousands of dollars. Just as there are many factors that determine whether you have a case, the same holds true for the amount your case is worth. Every accident is different, but you can find out how we determine your case is worth. Find out more
