The Importance of a Car Accident Attorney

An attorney can help you get fair compensation for your injuries or losses if you are involved in a car accident. A lawyer can provide you with time limitations that could affect your claim (also known as statutes or limitations).

Never give any statement whether written or oral, to an insurance representative of the party at the fault. These statements will be recorded and used against you in court, if you have a case.

Gathering Evidence

The outcome of your insurance claim for car accidents or lawsuit will be based on the quality of the evidence you present. That includes physical evidence such as images, skid marks and other debris, as in witness testimony and official documents including police reports.

The earlier you start collecting evidence, the better. This is especially true when it is about proving the cause of your injuries and the responsibility of the other party in the crash. Photograph the accident scene before any vehicles or items have been damaged or moved. This can help your lawyer to establish the circumstances under which the accident happened like if the other driver was distracted or was speeding.

You also want to gather any other pertinent details that could be used to prove your case. If the driver who was involved in the crash was driving a commercial vehicle, note the company that is the owner of the truck as well as its unique identification number (VIN). If there were witnesses to the incident, get their contact information and statement. Insurance adjusters and other fact finders often think of neutral witnesses who have no financial stake in the incident to be more trustworthy than those involved in the incident.

One of the most important pieces of evidence to collect is a police investigation report filed at the time of the incident. The report will provide your attorney with the most important details regarding what happened during the accident including the names of those who were involved as well as a description of each vehicle involved in the collision. This document will also include the officer's observations and opinions regarding the accident law firm and who was at fault.

In addition to an official police report, it's also important to keep medical reports of any injuries you suffered due to the accident. This will allow your attorney to be able to accurately evaluate your injuries and the impact they've had on your life.

You may also want to gather any other documentation that can support your claim, such as receipts or bills for vehicle repairs medical treatments, the loss of income due to missed work because of the accident.

Negotiating a Settlement

When it comes time to negotiate a settlement with your insurance company your lawyer is prepared to talk to them on your behalf.

Based on the circumstances you could be entitled to additional compensation such as punitive damages or attorney's fees.

He or she can also gather all the evidence necessary to make your case as convincing and convincing as you can. This includes police reports, witness testimony medical and hospital documents, and information on wage loss and employment.

If you think the offer is not fair, your attorney can draft an exact demand letter outlining why you feel your claim is worth more. The insurance company is likely to respond with a variety of arguments for why they think their offer is fair. Your attorney will be able to counter these with the evidence you have collected.

Filing a Lawsuit

Your lawyer will serve as your advocate throughout the process to ensure that you receive maximum compensation. Your attorney is legally bound to keep your best interests in mind. They will always be on your side, whether they are dealing directly with an insurance company or presenting your case before a jury or judge.

Your attorney will handle this process on your behalf, ensuring that all legal requirements are met, and that your claim is filed within the state's deadline. This deadline, called a statute of limitations is the maximum time you can have to pursue legal action to claim the damages you're entitled to.

Your lawyer will collect additional information on behalf of you as part of the discovery process. This is a formal process in which the parties to the lawsuit exchange relevant information. This could include written questions which are addressed to the other party and then answered under an oath (called interrogatories) and also requests for the production of documents or physical objects in the case, for example, police reports, photos of the scene of the accident, and witness statements. Your lawyer may also conduct a deposition. This is a verbal interrogation of witnesses under oath. This is recorded and used as evidence in court.
