What Our Car Accident Lawyer Can Do For You

Resolving a car accident claim should be simple, but that’s often not the case. Even when the accident was clearly the other driver’s fault, it can be hard to get a fair outcome. The insurance company may try to settle the claim for much less than it is worth, or may claim the injury victim is really at fault in some way for the accident.

Working with a J.L. Hawkins Law car accident lawyer means having someone on your side who will pursue the truth and stand up for your rights. That includes:

• Performing a thorough and detailed investigation of the accident, collecting police reports, traffic camera footage, witness reports, and other evidence
• Analyzing accident scenes with the help of accident reconstruction specialists and other experts as needed
• Handling all communications with your insurance company and the other driver’s insurer, protecting you against “lowball” settlement offers and pressure to settle when it’s not in your best interest to do so
• Calculating the damages you suffered as a result of the accident, such as medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering, as well as future damages for ongoing care, loss of earning capacity, and more.
• Negotiating medical lien reductions with your medical providers so you can keep more of your financial recovery
• Developing a legal strategy and filing a lawsuit if necessary to get you the compensation you deserve
• Conducting depositions and other discovery to build your case
• Appearing in court for pretrial motions
• Coordinating with expert witnesses
• Arguing your case in front of a jury, presenting witness testimony and other evidence in a compelling way that persuades the jury to find in your favor.

We do all of this without asking for any payment from you up front. Our consultation is free, and we don’t collect any money from you until we recover money for you.

The J.L. Hawkins Law Difference

Attorney Johnny L. Hawkins has nearly 30 years experience as a Detroit car accident lawyer, helping protect the rights of people injured in auto accidents. He is known throughout Metro Detroit as “the Warrior Lawyer” because of how fiercely he pursues justice for his clients.

J.L. Hawkins Law is not a high-volume personal injury law firm. Johnny sees clients as people, not as claims to be resolved. He takes the time to listen to your story, understand your concerns, and ease your mind about the legal process. His goal is for you to feel better after a consultation with him than you did when you walked in.

Johnny is a motivated advocate because he knows his clients and genuinely cares about them. He believes that when he puts people first, results follow—and he has the track record to prove it. Another reason for Johnny’s success at the negotiating table and at trial is his unmatched preparation, which stems from his military background. A U.S. Army veteran and former platoon leader, Johnny doesn’t cut corners or take shortcuts—especially when it comes to the best interests of the people who have trusted him with their future.

While he is usually able to settle cases both quickly and favorably, Johnny is always prepared to make his client’s case to a jury if necessary to protect their rights.
