An automobile accident can immediately create a lot of questions and conflicts. You must find out who is at fault, who pays for damages, and who will pay for medical bills. Additionally, if you are the aggrieved driver, you must consider whether you have pain and suffering costs to claim, and you have to find out what costs the at-fault driver’s insurance company will cover. All of these complex questions and problems are why acquiring an attorney after a car accident is the best way to navigate the chaotic and often-confusing world of insurance claims and settlements. At Simons and Goldner, our attorneys have extensive experience handling personal injury cases. Using the expertise of established attorneys, rather than managing your case alone, will benefit you in the three following significant ways.
Your Attorney Has Extensive Knowledge of Law and Procedure
Your personal injury attorney is a professional with years of experience, so they will come to your case with the required knowledge of relevant laws and procedural rules that can affect your case. Trying to learn these rules on your own without prior law experience would be extremely challenging.
Additionally, your attorney can file a lawsuit on your behalf and know how to respond to any possible defenses from the opposing side. Once your case is underway, your attorney is an invaluable resource for preparing your case.
Lawyers Will Do the Legwork
After you’ve been in an accident, especially if your injury is significant, the last thing you will want to do is sort through the endless paperwork and phone calls involved in negotiating an insurance settlement. An attorney can do all of this for you instead, which makes them immensely valuable in this situation. An experienced personal injury attorney can efficiently gather police reports, witness statements, medical records, and bills, and lost wage information required for a claim. Your attorney will be able to prepare a settlement demand letter and to make sure that the information is correct and persuasive.
Your Attorney Advocates For You
One of the best ways your attorney can help you after a car accident is by being by your side through the settlement process as your advocate. This means that your attorney acts on your behalf, in your best interests, through the claims process. They will make sure your side of the story is heard, and that you are appropriately compensated for your losses. Acquiring an attorney after a car accident is essential for obtaining a reasonable and fair resolution in your car accident case.
