How to Choose the Right Attorney for Your Car Accident Case

After a car accident, the decisions you make can significantly affect your recovery—both physically and financially. One of the most important choices is hiring the right car accident attorney to handle your case. The right legal representation can mean the difference between a denied claim and a full, fair settlement.

At Inserra | Kelley | Sewell, we’ve helped thousands of individuals navigate the complex aftermath of serious auto accidents. Here's what you need to know to make an informed decision when selecting a personal injury lawyer for your case.

1. Look for a Lawyer Who Specializes in Car Accident Cases

Not all attorneys are personal injury specialists—and even fewer focus specifically on motor vehicle accidents. Look for a firm with a proven track record in handling car accident claims, negotiating with insurance companies, and successfully representing injured clients in court if necessary.

At Inserra | Kelley | Sewell, car accident litigation is one of our core practice areas. Our team has decades of experience advocating for accident victims and maximizing compensation.

2. Evaluate Their Experience and Results

Ask about past settlements and trial outcomes. A reputable attorney should be able to share case results or testimonials that demonstrate their ability to win. Experience with claims involving serious injuries, medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering is critical.

Our firm has recovered millions of dollars for clients injured due to the negligence of others—whether in rear-end collisions, distracted driving cases, or multi-vehicle crashes.

3. Ensure Clear Communication and Personal Attention

You want a lawyer who will keep you informed, explain your rights clearly, and be available to answer your questions. Avoid firms that push clients off to paralegals or don’t respond promptly.

At Inserra | Kelley | Sewell, we pride ourselves on responsive, one-on-one client service. You’ll always know where your case stands—and you’ll never feel like just another file.

4. Confirm a Contingency Fee Structure

Most personal injury attorneys—including our firm—work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you don’t pay unless we win your case. This ensures that legal help is accessible when you need it most, without upfront financial stress.

Always confirm the terms before signing an agreement and make sure you understand what percentage of your settlement will go toward legal fees.

5. Choose a Law Firm With Local Knowledge

Local experience matters. A firm that understands local traffic laws, insurance providers, and court procedures will handle your case more efficiently and effectively.

Inserra | Kelley | Sewell has been serving clients throughout Nebraska and the Midwest for decades. Our deep local roots give us a unique edge in negotiating with insurers and presenting strong claims.
