Why Hire An Attorney?

​

In addition to the physical loss of your vehicle and medical bills associated with your injury, a car accident can cause lost wages, pain and suffering, fear of future driving, etc. These are all damages that may be recoverable against the party who caused the accident. The victims of a car accident can suffer serious injuries such as head trauma, spinal injuries, tissue damage, and other wounds – both physical and mental.   Some of these injuries may not be apparent at the accident scene, and may only start to bother the injured party after the shock and adrenaline of the accident wears off. These injuries can be devastating and they must be compensated for.

 

Hiring a Car Accident Attorney at the earliest possible moment allows your attorney to preserve evidence in the case. It will allow your attorney to begin collecting your medical records and discussing your injuries with your doctors as soon as the doctors make their diagnosis - this allows your doctors and attorneys to be as accurate as possible about the injury and its effects on your life, and may assist in maximizing the amount of money you can obtain.  Additionally, the statements of witnesses and parties often prove vital to the case - and memories can fade with time. Small details matter. By hiring an attorney immediately after your accident, you will give your attorney the opportunity to discover witnesses' recollection of the events when it is still fresh in their memory.

​

Recovery depends on a number of factors and these cases very fact specific. Please consult with an attorney as soon as possible after a car accident to preserve your rights. Some factors that impact recovery are the type of injury sustained, the insurance policy (full or limited tort), the type of vehicle, and the at-fault party's statements and mental and physical capacity at the time of the accident.
