Let Our Distracted Driving Lawyer Deal With the Insurance Company
The majority of car accident cases like yours are resolved with an out-of-court insurance settlement. When our law firm handles your case, we deal with the insurance company, so you do not have to. We will:
- Assess the monetary value of your case
- Create and send a settlement demand letter
- Field each settlement offer you receive
- Weigh the pros and cons of each offer
- Explain the finality of an acceptance
We also explain the back-and-forth nature of negotiations and ensure you are not further victimized by speedy or lowball offers or bad-faith insurance practices. The final decision to reject or accept a settlement is always yours. Our goal is to guide you toward a well-informed decision and negotiate a fair outcome for you.

Our entire team is committed to your case and to recovering the compensation you need and deserve. With GED Lawyers, we treat you like the individual you are, not just another case file.
Do Not Let Time Run Out on Your Right To Pursue Financial Compensation
Like all civil lawsuits, yours has a state-mandated filing deadline. Called the statute of limitations, it governs the amount of time you have to file your lawsuit. At GED Lawyers, we know how important it is to comply with the following deadlines:
- Mass. Gen. Laws Ch. 260 § 2A — Generally gives you three years to meet the personal injury statute of limitations
- Mass. Gen. Laws Ann. Ch. 229, § 2— Generally gives you three years to meet the wrongful death statute of limitations
Complying with the statute of limitations can be complicated since it can change depending on the circumstances of your case. Certain exceptions may give you more or less time to file. One way to understand the filing deadline and its impact on your case is to let our distracted driving accident lawyer serving Rehoboth handle it for you.
What Constitutes Distracted Driving in Rehoboth?
Distracted driving is an action or activity that causes a driver to take their hands off their steering wheel, their eyes off the road, or their concentration off of driving. Distracted driving can include any of the following:

Our Investigation Will Prove the Cause of the At-Fault Driver’s Distraction
Recovering compensation means proving the at-fault driver’s negligence. To document the cause of your accident — and the other driver’s distraction — our investigative team will collect the following evidence:

We also collect evidence that proves the accident’s subsequent costs. This section of your evidence file will include:
- Medical bills

If your car is declared a total loss, we use authoritative guides to prove its replacement value. We will also prove its diminished value. Our law firm handles the daunting task of evidence collection for you so you can concentrate on your physical and emotional recovery.
