A car accident can be a traumatic and devastating event. The effects of a car accident usually span your personal life, work and family and often, affect your finances and physicality. At Prominent Lawyers, we always recommend, even if the fault is ambiguous or debatable, that you contact a legal professional if you have been involved in a car crash. You may be entitled to compensation and require legal representation.
If you’ve been involved in a car accident, it may completely slip your mind to secure legal representation, especially if the accident was your fault. Even persons who have been involved in a car accident are reluctant to hire a lawyer. Lawyers, in addition to being regarded as costly, are also thought of as problematic. After a traumatic accident, the last thing on someone’s mind is a lawyer.
Many people resort to thinking, is it even worth it to get a lawyer? This is an especially common thought with those who are not at fault. The rationale is that it was clearly the other person’s fault, so securing a lawyer may appear aggressive, unwarranted or may just simply be a waste of money. However, lawyers provide you with protection, regardless of which party you are. This protection is invaluable as it can save you money, your reputation and your health.
Why you need a motor vehicle accident lawyer
Determine fault and possibility of the case
You’ll be able to discuss with your motor vehicle accident lawyer the specifics of your case, even if you believe it was your fault. Please note that even if the accident was your fault, in some cases, you may still be able to claim compensation for your injuries. However, the discussion with your lawyer will allow you to properly determine the strength of your case, who was at fault and what other evidence you need to prove your case.
Issues with insurance
Insurance companies are notoriously difficult to deal with. Often, they require evidence of who is at fault, if the blame is disputed. While these situations can get complicated, a lawyer will be able to guide and assist you accordingly to ensure that you are given the coverage promised by the company.
Ensure you are not taken advantage of
With a car accident, insurance companies can cleverly make you admit fault. On the other side, in a legal dispute, insurance companies can also trick you into accepting lower compensation than what is due. A lawyer will strongly represent you and ensure that you are not taken advantage of by the insurance company.
Make sure that your claim is strong
Compensation claims from car accidents are complicated, require a lot of evidence and have strict procedural deadlines. For these reasons, it is important that you not only hire a lawyer but do so from the very beginning. Claim submissions and their required documents have specific deadlines that, if not met, can break your case. When you’re trying to heal, it’s hard to stay on top of this, so leave it to a lawyer.
Recover all of your financial resources
When claiming compensation for a motor accident, the immediate costs are not obvious. However, a car accident lawyer will be able to foresee and determine all of the costs that you deserve to be compensated for, ensuring that you lose no money for an accident that was not your fault. Some of the expenses your lawyer may claim for include:
- Medical expenses;
- Hospital bills;
- Past and future economic loss and;
- Physical and psychological suffering;
