Car accidents can have many outcomes. While most of them are thankfully minor and easy to resolve, sometimes they can be complicated or confusing — especially if you've been injured. You may be wondering what an accident attorney does and how their services can help you after you’ve been in an auto accident.

Before deciding on how you proceed with your car accident claim, it's important to know what an accident attorney can do to help you.

Finding Medical Help

Timely medical treatment is crucial for both your recovery and your injury claim. So, even if you feel okay, be sure to see a doctor. They can make sure you don't have any hidden problems.

Finding a doctor might sound like a simple task, but sometimes it can take time. Your personal health insurance may not cover the bill, or you may not have coverage for medical payments under your own insurance policy. In both of these instances, an accident attorney can help you.

Car accident lawyers develop many professional relationships in their careers, and they'll use these resources to help you on your path to recovery. Whether you're looking for medical advice or a provider for ongoing treatment, your auto lawyer can find doctors who specialize in the treatment you need.

Investigating Accidents

One major service an accident attorney provides is a legal review of your accident. Accident.com offers free consultations with a nationwide network of attorneys who can jumpstart this process for you. Once you provide the details of your accident to an attorney, they will look into the legal aspects of your case and assess your damages. Damages can range from physical injuries to compensation for emotional harm.

Your auto lawyer will then give you advice on how to proceed with your claim based on their findings, and they'll provide a follow-up for information they need to ensure the best possible outcome for your claim.

Reviewing Legal Language and Protecting Your Rights

The legal aspects of an auto accident can be complicated and confusing. And injuries can create extra time limits or legal demands you may not be aware of. Accident attorneys are trained to understand how the law applies to your accident, and they can provide a strategy based on their analysis.

An auto lawyer’s experience with your state and local laws can also eliminate the need for extensive research on your part. Their experience helps protect your rights and maximize your recovery too.

Also, an accident attorney’s legal services extend to insurance claims, which can be just as frustrating to navigate as the legal system. Your attorney will not only protect your interests on your insurance claim, but they'll also handle communication to and from the insurance company for you.

Seeking Compensation and Ensuring a Fair Settlement

When you're ready to seek compensation for your accident, your attorney will help you figure out the types of recovery you can get. You might already be aware of the damages you can see, like physical injuries or damage to your car. But there are other forms of recovery that might apply to your claim too.

Maybe you lost wages as a result of the accident or are suffering from emotional distress (sometimes called pain and suffering). In these cases, the auto attorney will review options with you and determine the best route to maximize your recovery.

Sometimes the only option for recovery is filing a lawsuit. Car accident attorneys can help you in many ways, including filing legal paperwork, preparing for court and identifying facts that could help a jury be more sympathetic to your case.

Insurance company settlements can also be difficult to negotiate without an accident attorney. These third parties could have different interests for your claim. For example, they may offer a settlement that doesn’t account for all of your damages. Auto attorneys are skilled negotiators who will protect your interests and ensure your settlement is fair.

What's next?

Regardless of whether you settle your claim with insurance or a lawsuit, an auto lawyer can be a valuable tool for your recovery. Schedule a free consultation with an Accident.com attorney to learn more about the recovery process and how they can help you.

But don't wait! Time may be running out to file your claim, so contact Accident.com right away.
