Why You Need an Experienced Car Accident Attorney

Even as a car accident attorney, we hope that you never have the need for our services. This is because we understand that when somebody is involved in a car accident, it is an extremely traumatic experience, where there will be property damage and sometimes, injuries and loss of life. However, if you have been in a car accident, it is critically important that you are represented by an attorney who has your best interest at heart.

Too many of our clients live on the assumption that simply because they pay their insurance company, it is the role of the insurance to look out for their best interest if they find themselves involved in a car accident. Nothing could be further from the truth. The only person who has your best interest at heart in the professional realm is your car accident attorney, whom you need to engage immediately after being involved in a car accident. We understand the law, and we are paid to ensure that the laws work in your favor, which is why having us as your car accident attorney from the very beginning can help alleviate some of your stress and pressure.

As a car accident attorney, we know that people go through three distinct types of trauma and loss in the aftermath of an accident. The first you will experience is the loss of your property or the damage the accident has caused to your property. The second trauma people may experience after being in an accident is mental anguish and emotional turmoil, including shock. Finally, people will have to deal with the trauma of injuries or even death in the aftermath of an accident. As your car accident attorney, it's important for us to protect you from having to go through the fourth set of traumatic experiences. This often occurs when people attempt to navigate the insurance and criminal justice system without the assistance of a car accident attorney. They quickly find that they do not understand the laws and are out of their depth in dealing with the insurance companies.

Car accidents are an expensive affair. Especially if there are injuries, the costs associated with a car accident are often far more than the simple damage done to the property at the site of the action. Long-term medical care can be extremely expensive, and when you add in the fact that many people suffer from PTSD in the aftermath of an accident, the medical expenses quickly pile up. In addition, many people who have been in a serious car accident find themselves losing income because they are unable to sustain their regular job, they need to take time off from work to deal with the medical issues, or maybe they don't even have the transportation they need to get them to and from the job site. All of this can quickly add up, especially if you are the one paying all the bills. It is important for you to have a car accident attorney to make sure that if the other party was responsible for the negligence for your accident, they are contributing to the payment of expenses.
