A vehicle accident defense matter is a legal civil action where a person is being personally sued for allegedly being at fault for an accident, and causing damages to the other party(ies). In these cases, the person who is being sued may retain an attorney to defend them against the action.

 

When we represent clients in vehicle defense cases, we evaluate the circumstances of the accident in order to make a determination as to whether any valid grounds or defense exist in the matter. If they do, we utilize the specific defense to make every effort to have the action dismissed. 

 

In the absence of a valid ground for defense and a possible dismissal, our efforts turn to mitigating our client’s liability and reducing the amount of damages or money the other party is demanding. This is of course entirely dependent on what we are able to negotiate with the other party and their attorney(s). For example, we may be able to negotiate a lower amount to be paid, a payment plan the client is comfortable with, and/or perhaps avoiding paying interest and attorney’s fees. 

​

Whatever the end result of the defense, we always strive to ensure that the matter is forever barred against our client and that they are released from any and all liability going forward.

​

As is the case in any civil defense action, and as opposed to to vehicle injury cases where a person was not at fault and an attorney can represent them on a contingency basis, insurance defense cases require that the client pays the attorney's fees personally on a retainer basis because there is no insurance available for a recovery from which attorneys can recover their fees.
