Why Talk to a Totaled Car Attorney
  • Maximizing Your Compensation

    If you've been in an accident that has resulted in a totaled car, you're likely entitled to compensation for the value of your vehicle. However, insurance companies are notorious for trying to pay out as little as possible. A totaled car attorney can help you negotiate with the insurance company to ensure that you receive the maximum amount of compensation possible.

  • Dealing with Complex Insurance Issues

    There are a lot of complex insurance issues that can arise in the aftermath of an accident that results in a totaled car. For example, if you owe more on your car than it's worth, you may be dealing with an upside-down loan. A totaled car attorney can help you navigate these complex issues and ensure that your rights are protected.

  • Understanding Your Legal Options

    Depending on the circumstances of your accident, you may have legal options beyond just filing an insurance claim. For example, if your accident was caused by another driver's negligence, you may be able to file a personal injury lawsuit to recover additional damages. A totaled car attorney can help you understand your legal options and determine the best course of action for your specific situation.

  • Peace of Mind

    Dealing with the aftermath of an accident can be incredibly stressful. Working with a totaled car attorney can help alleviate some of that stress by allowing you to focus on your recovery while your attorney handles the legal and insurance issues.

  2. Check reviews: Look for reviews from previous clients. Check out the attorney's website, social media pages, and review sites to see what other clients have said about their experiences with the attorney.
  3. Check their experience: Look for an attorney who has experience with similar cases. Check their website or ask for their portfolio to see if they have handled cases similar to yours.
  4. Ask for referrals: Ask friends, family members, or colleagues if they have any recommendations for a totaled car attorney. If they've had a similar experience, they may be able to refer you to an attorney they trust.
  5. Schedule a consultation: Schedule a consultation with the attorney to discuss your case. This can give you a chance to ask questions, get to know the attorney, and see if you feel comfortable working with them.
  6. Check their credentials: Make sure the attorney is licensed and in good standing with the state bar association. You can usually find this information on the state bar association's website.

Getting Every Dollar You Deserve


After an accident or natural disaster, call your insurance provider to let them know what happened, and they will walk you through the claim-filing procedure. It is imperative that you contact your insurance provider right away because waiting too long may result in them rejecting your claim. As your automobile is being fixed, you can potentially be qualified for a rental car.


A totaled car lawyer on our staff can assist you in fighting back if your insurance company tries to reject your claim. It is in their best interest to quote you a figure far too small, we fight to make sure you get what you are owed.

What's the Difference Between a Car Insurance Company and a Totaled Car Attorney?

A car insurance company is responsible for providing insurance coverage to drivers and may provide compensation for damages to a vehicle in the event of an accident. However, their primary goal is to protect their own financial interests and minimize the amount of compensation they pay out to their policyholders.


On the other hand, a totaled car attorney represents the interests of the vehicle owner and seeks to ensure that they receive fair compensation for their losses. They may negotiate with the insurance company on behalf of their client, file a lawsuit if necessary, and represent their client in court.


If your vehicle has been totaled in an accident, it is important to notify your insurance company as soon as possible. However, if you believe that the insurance company is not offering you fair compensation for your losses, it may be in your best interest to consult with a totaled car attorney to help you navigate the claims process and protect your legal rights.

Important Legal Considerations when Filing a Claim for Totaled Cars
  • Insurance policy terms: Review your insurance policy carefully to understand the terms of your coverage, including what is covered and how much compensation you are entitled to in the event of a total loss.
  • Time limits: Make sure you file your claim within the time limits set by your insurance policy or state law. Failure to file a claim in a timely manner may result in a denial of your claim.
  • Documentation: Gather as much documentation as possible to support your claim, including photos of the damage to your vehicle, repair estimates, and any medical bills or other expenses related to the accident.
  • Negotiations: Be prepared to negotiate with the insurance company to ensure that you receive fair compensation for your losses. Consider consulting with a totaled car attorney to help you negotiate and protect your legal rights.
  • Salvage value: Be aware of the salvage value of your vehicle, which is the amount that can be obtained by selling the damaged vehicle for parts or scrap. The insurance company may deduct the salvage value from your total compensation.
  • Title transfer: If your car is declared a total loss, you will need to transfer the title of the vehicle to the insurance company in exchange for the settlement amount. Make sure you understand the process and any legal requirements for transferring the title.

By keeping these legal considerations in mind, you can help ensure that you receive fair compensation for your totaled car and protect your legal rights throughout the claims process.

Accident Your Fault? It Doesn't Matter.

Insurance Companies Must Fully Compensate Covered Drivers

Even if the accident is declared your fault, if you carry comprehensive coverage, you must be fully compensated. Don't let insurance companies take the money that you deserve. You have paid thousands of dollars to have access to coverage should you be in an accident, let us fight to get full compensation to make you whole.

Testimonials


Brian Hogan – Thank you for the work you do. Personal service and great client results are uncommon with personal injury attorneys. I recommend them over any other auto accident firm.



Tim  Hoban

Brian was a great personal injury attorney. I had an auto accident and he got me the money I deserved. I would recommend him to anyone who needed an auto accident lawyer. He came to my home and met with me and I got his cell number to stay in contact with him throughout my case.


Claire Taylor

Staff is great to work with, helped me get the results I was looking for. I’ve worked with big firms in the past, and it sucks, so I liked the fact that I got treated like a person and not a number.

Frequently Asked Questions
  • How can Hogan Smith help me with my totaled car claim?

    Evidence may not always be sufficient to persuade an insurance company to agree with your estimation of the value of your car and the amount of money you should be compensated for damage to it. Instead, you might need to negotiate with the insurance company and present the arguments that support your side of the story over theirs based on the law and the available data.


    Some people try to manage the negotiation themselves, but this is rarely a wise move. For a living, insurance adjusters negotiate, and they are skilled at challenging even the most qualified adversary.


    Instead, entrust the insurance company negotiation to a lawyer who is knowledgeable in the pressure points and lingo of the insurance business. It is certainly important when trying to collect money from an insurance company to understand the legal principles and general considerations that they will make when deciding whether or not to pay you what you are due. Hogan Smith is on your side and prepared to defend the payment you are entitled to.

  • How can I know if I have a good case?

    Your totaled car attorney can give you a clearer idea of what to anticipate after you have received your free case evaluation. We are the first to offer our distinctive evaluation without a wait guarantee, which allows you to learn in a single call whether you have a case and how much it is actually worth.

  • I took the settlement offered, is it possible to get just compensation?

    Yes! Florida has a five-year statute of limitations for cars that have been totaled. We can initiate a case to get you full compensation if the insurance company did not pay you what you were entitled to.

  • What is the best way to contact you?

    You can give us a call at 800-51-HOGAN You can also email us at brian@hoganpa.com. You can also use our Contact Form.
