Auto accidents happen every day. If you have been hurt or injured in a car, truck, motorcycle or any other motor vehicle accident, contact a lawyer. You may be eligible for compensation.
Starting in 2015, there was a steep increase in traffic fatalities across the country after years of steady declines according to the U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
This spike in fatalities is tragic for many vulnerable families who are grieving their loss. Sadly, many insurance companies may take advantage of vulnerable people by working hard to settle claims quickly and for the lowest possible amount—all to boost profits. Let our lawyers review your situation and determine if you may be entitled to compensation.
Do not settle and do not sign away your rights without talking to an experienced personal injury law firm first.
3 Reasons You Should Hire a Lawyer After an Auto Accident
- A lawyer will look out for your best interest and strive to get you the highest compensation possible. Settling your claim quickly with your insurance company might seem like a good plan. However, it is critical to take the time to fully assess the injuries sustained. You only have one opportunity to prove your injuries. Once you accept a settlement, that decision is final. You may lose your rights to ever file another claim again—even if you discover your injuries are worse than you originally thought.
- A lawyer will know what questions to ask and can walk you through the claims process. Not only can an experienced lawyer establish a timeline for each step in the process, they are familiar with the paperwork. This saves you the hassle of having to navigate complex documents on your own.
- A lawyer will help protect you from unnecessary or harassing inquiries from the insurance company or other parties involved. Your lawyer knows what questions are relevant and will help protect your rights. You do not want your insurance company to misconstrue your words and undermine your case.
