Personal injury lawyers have years learning the ins-and-outs of the law, so you don’t need to. Lawyers will let you know all of your rights and the best strategies to pursue your claim.
If there are multiple claims, your lawyer can file more than one on your behalf, or get additional help from other attorneys.
1. Always stop if you are involved in an accident, this is your legal obligation.
2. Never admit responsibility for the accident.
3. Check to see if anyone needs urgent medical care.
4. Contact the police (you need a police report to file an insurance claim).
5. Limit your conversation about the accident with the other party.
6. Get the facts of your car accident (names, address, license plate, phone number, etc).
7. Speak to an attorney before your insurance company, especially if you have injuries.
Sometimes when an adjuster does not offer a fair settlement, alternative methods of dispute resolution are necessary. Your lawyer is prepared to handle your arbitration, mediation, or trial when necessary.
