How a lawyer can help you if you’re injured in a car accident

Car accident victims are frequently bullied by insurance companies. Insurance companies are in business to make money, not to help their clientele. A personal injury attorney can often help people receive far more money for their injuries. This money can be used to take care of their family or their damaged property & body. If a person settles with the insurance company on their own, the insurance company can use several tricks to get out of paying for a claim. Personal injury lawyers can increase the value of a car accident settlement.

Victims of car accidents can lose a lot:

  1. They are unable to work due to injury recovery.
  2. If a serious disability occurs, it can affect job performance.
  3. A damaged car will need repairs or replacement. Tools, electronics or other items in the car may need replacement.
  4. Injuries sustained during a car accident can be severe, including loss of brain function, broken bones, whiplash, and muscle injuries & more.

A car accident lawyer can assist you in obtaining compensation for these physical & monetary losses.They do this by:

  • Explaining your options for an insurance claim,
  • negotiating directly with an insurance company,
  • ensuring you get the money you need to care for yourself, your family, any injuries, and long term care.
  • if needed, they will even take your case to court.

How to pick a personal injury lawyer

A personal injury lawyer should have the following traits:

He or she should specialize in personal injury law. A person would not go to a dentist for a broken arm. Similarly, it is a mistake to visit a divorce attorney for a personal injury claim.

He or she should have the necessary experience in dealing with personal injury law. A rookie lawyer may not have the needed special skills to deal with negotiation, insurance claims, or a courtroom.

A personal injury lawyer should NEVER take his fee upfront. Injury lawyers are paid on contingency fee: if you don’t win, they don’t win.

An attorney should treat you as their #1 client, answering your phone calls or emails 24/7.

We believe in educating & helping people. We’d be glad to refer you to a trusted attorney.

If involved in an accident, get checked out at an emergency room or clinic as soon as possible, preferably on the same day of the accident. In addition to treating your injuries, they will be able to provide crucial documentation in the event that the shock from the accident causes memory loss. Your personal recollection can be severely tested during periods of high adrenaline, and a written document has better credibility than short term memory.

Ensure that you take photos of the accident, the drivers involved andresulting injuries. Of course, exchanging information with the other party in the incident is essential.

A daily diary of your feeling: soreness, dietary changes, or mental changes, can be helpful in a personal injury cases.

Critically, you must follow all instructions from your treating doctor or chiropractor. Keep your appointments religiously. Not only will the treatment help your injuries, but the documentation that the chiropractor or doctor provides is essential. A written record of the severity of your injuries on a regular basis can impact a personal injury case for the better.

Frequent communication between yourself, your treating chiropractor or doctor and the personal injury attorney on your side is vitally important. Stay in touch by phone or email at least once a week. An attorney will frequently ask your doctors or chiropractors for a final evaluation; this explains the future need for medical treatment, what bills were involved in the treatment of your injuries, whether you will need to change jobs and what kind of impairment rating you could receive.
