Why You Need a Lawyer for Your Car Wreck Case
Car accidents are one of the most common causes of personal injury. Even though many auto accidents are minor fender-benders, they can still result in many severe injuries and deaths. In addition to the potential for disability, accident victims often experience substantial pain and suffering, emotional distress, lost wages, medical expenses, and property damage. Sadly, many car accident victims never receive the total amount of damages they are entitled to. Often, car accident victims, unaware of the total value of their claims, accept the first offer from their insurance company.
The insurance company wants to settle your case as soon as possible – and for as little money as possible. After an accident, you need time to determine just how serious your injury is, what medical treatment or physical therapy you need, and how much your lost wages will be. Therefore, it is crucial to retain a qualified personal injury attorney as soon as possible to achieve maximum compensation. Never talk to the insurance company before obtaining legal representation.
