When to Hire an Attorney After a Car Accident
Do you know when to hire an attorney after a car accident? After you’ve been in a wreck, hiring a car accident attorney isn’t always a necessity – but it can help your case exponentially. Proceeding with your car accident claim or lawsuit without an experienced attorney on your side can be a big mistake. It can cost you money, affect the final outcome of your case, and make the entire process more difficult.
Don’t believe us? Here are just a few ways NOT hiring a car accident attorney can come back to haunt you:
- The blame could get pinned on you. If you don’t have someone defending your side of the story, you could end up getting blamed for the bulk of the accident – especially if there’s a semi-truck or commercial vehicle involved. Ultimately, it could mean you don’t get all the compensation you need – and deserve – for your accident.
- You might not get as much compensation as you deserve. Without an attorney on your side, it can be hard to determine exactly how much your case should get you. An experienced attorney can accurately tally up how much you’re due for medical and health care bills, car repairs and property damage, lost wages and income, and any other associated costs you may have suffered.
- You won’t know if you’re being undercut or low-balled. A car accident attorney will fully evaluate each offer you get from the at-fault driver’s insurance. If it’s not enough, they’ll refuse it and demand more, so you have enough to cover all the costs associated with your wreck.
- You’ll have to handle all communication with insurers and lawyers. If you don’t hire a car accident attorney to help with your case, you’re going to get stuck handling all the nitty-gritty details of your case. You’re going to have to call the insurance company, leave messages, fill out forms and do all that time-consuming stuff that you just don’t have the bandwidth for. If you hire an attorney, however, they can handle all these details for you, so you can get back to what’s most important: recovering from your wreck.
