When Should You Hire an Attorney After a Car Accident?

Accident victims may put themselves fully at the whims of insurance adjusters if they don’t have accident lawyer. The adjuster may try to decrease the amount of money owed to you for your automobile accident case as this is the adjuster’s job — to save their employer (the insurance company) money. This is why it’s so important to hire an experienced car accident attorney right after the accident happens. In doing so, you can better heal and recover from your accident. 

Injuries Covered by Insurance

There are many types of injuries that you can receive compensation for if you’ve been involved in a car accident. Such injuries include:

  • Burns
  • Broken bones
  • Disfigurement
  • Permanent disability
  • Brain injury
  • Organ damage

Receiving compensation for these injuries often times depends on how much you’re willing to fight with an insurance company. It also depends on whether you know the right processes that must be followed to receive compensation. With an experienced attorney in your corner, you can better focus your time and energy on healing while the attorney takes care of all processes, protocols, and paperwork for you to get all the monies owed to you. An attorney can also help ensure you get all monies owed to you for any repairs or replacements that your car requires after the wreck. 

What Does a Car Accident Attorney Do?

An attorney on your behalf may gather proof like:

  • Images showing the scene of the collision
  • Images of the wrecked car
  • Report from police
  • Witnesses’ accounts
  • Information from an event data recorder in a vehicle
  • Work and medical records
  • Cell phone records (if needed)
  • Manufacturer documentation and recall details

An attorney can put together a compelling case for you by compiling all of this information. He or she can then negotiate a settlement with any of the involved insurance companies to help you settle the case either in or out of a courtroom. 

When to Hire a Car Accident Attorney

Insurance firms will try to take advantage of the fact that accident victims might not be aware of their rights following a car accident. To weaken or reject your claim, they’ll try to get you to accept fault or demonstrate some other form of negligence. A lawyer can help victims understand their rights, followed by giving quality advice on how to deal with adjusters without ever having to admit fault or say anything that might be interpreted as incriminating.

Have you been in a car accident that wasn’t your fault? If so, you need to hire an experienced attorney today who understands the ins-and-outs of settling claims. With the right attorney, you can settle your case and have all monies owed to you compensated without ever having to step foot in a courtroom. Hire an attorney today!
