Can an Attorney Help You Get Better Results After a Car Accident?

PIClaim

If you’ve been injured in a Florida car accident because of another party’s negligence, you can recover financial compensation by filing a car accident claim against the negligent party. If you’re considering filing a car accident claim against an at-fault party, you might be wondering if you need to hire an attorney. You might be asking yourself, “Can an attorney help me get better results after a car accident?” So, can an attorney help you get better results after a car accident? Yes, hiring a car accident attorney can often lead to better results. Hiring an experienced car accident attorney can ensure you recover the compensation you deserve for your injuries and damages.

The following are some of the things a knowledgeable car accident attorney can help you with;

#1: Investigating Your Accident

While the cause of the accident might seem clear, there might be multiple contributing factors. Your attorney can help uncover all the factors that contributed to your accident. They can gather evidence, including witness statements, accident reports, and video footage from traffic cameras, and assess the accident scene. Your attorney may even work with an accident reconstruction expert to determine how your accident happened.

#2: Determining All Liable Parties

A car accident attorney can help you determine all liable parties through thorough investigations. By determining all contributing factors, your attorney will be able to tell which parties are responsible for your accident. Potentially liable parties in a car accident case include the other driver, a vehicle owner, the other driver’s employer, the vehicle manufacturer, and a government entity. For example, if your accident occurred due to a driver’s negligence during work hours, you may be able to hold the driver’s employer liable. If, for instance, your car accident occurred due to vehicle malfunction, such as brake failure, you may be able to hold the vehicle manufacturer liable.

#3: Calculating Damages

After a car accident, you are entitled to recover compensation for various damages, including future damages, such as future medical expenses. An experienced car accident lawyer knows this and will ensure they tally not only your past accident-related expenses but also your future expenses. For example, your attorney will consult your doctor(s) and other medical professionals when estimating your future medical expenses. These professionals can help determine the ongoing treatment you might need and how much you might need to cover those expenses.

#4: Dealing With the Insurance Company

Your attorney can handle communications between you and the insurance company. An attorney can ensure you don’t give the insurance company any information they can use against you to devalue or deny your claim.

#5: Negotiating With the Insurance Company

Your car accident attorney can secure a better settlement than you might secure on your own. Your lawyer knows how to deal with insurance adjusters. They know how to counter settlement offers.

#6: Representing You in Court

If negotiations fail, your attorney can take your case to court and fight before a judge or jury to secure the compensation you deserve.
