When Should You Contact a Car Accident Attorney?

Have you been involved in a car accident? Did you suffer serious injuries? Wondering if you should contact an attorney and when? If your car accident was severe or complicated, contacting a car accident attorney (aka, personal injury lawyer) should be top of your to-do list. Call a lawyer right after the accident occurs (and before any settlement with the insurance company) to protect your rights and find out your legal options. While many cases settle, it is always best to have the experience of a car accident attorney in case your case does go to trial.

Contact a car accident lawyer when:

• You or a passenger in your vehicle suffered a significant injury(ies)
• Someone died in the accident
• The collision involves multiple vehicles
• It is not clear which party is at fault or fault has been contested
• The crash occurred in a construction zone
• An uninsured or underinsured driver caused the accident
• You have partial responsibility for the accident
• The insurance company denied, delayed, or underpaid your claim
• The injured party is a minor

Our experienced car accident attorneys will:

• Help you obtain compensation to cover any losses incurred due to the accident
• Help you recover when a loved one is killed.
• Reduce the amount of paperwork, phone calls, and hassle with car accident insurance claims, dealing with the at-fault driver’s insurance company, yours, and the need for uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage.
• Ensure deadlines are met when filing personal injury claims, e.g. a statute of limitation imposes time limitations and varies by state.
• Help gather critical evidence that can be lost forever.

A car accident attorney can protect your rights and ensure insurance companies or the at-fault party(ies) cannot (and do not) take advantage of you.

Not all car accident claims require the assistance of a lawyer; however, one can be an invaluable asset to your claim and ensure you are fairly compensated when you are seriously injured.

If you or a loved one suffered serious injuries in a car accident, we can help.
