Visualize the scene: you have been in an vehicular accident; your vehicle has been seriously damaged, and you and your passenger are critically injured. You are confused and in pain. Emergency workers are helping you out of your vehicle and are rushing you to the hospital. This is the start of your journey to heal, not just physically, but financially. Hiring an experienced car accident lawyer is essential in all areas of recovery.
1. Settlements
Most people believe that all settlements are the same, but they are not. Different circumstances are potentially different settlements. These different circumstances need different types of lawyers. It makes no sense to hire a slip and fall accident lawyer, when an auto accident lawyer is a far better choice. An experienced car accident lawyer knows how to litigate auto accident claims against insurance companies or government agencies, that will compensate fully their clients’ injuries and recovery costs.
2. Time and Energy
It takes a lot of time and energy to mount a great claim against an insurance company or government agency, that is refusing to pay more than it wants to pay in compensation. Most people do not have the time or energy to do this, especially when they are too busy healing by going to doctor appointments, and therapy appointments. Most people are trying to heal and live their lives, which can be challenging depending on their injuries. This is especially true when it comes to anxiety or Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (P.T.S.D.) as these hidden injuries tend to be minimized by society and insurance companies. An experienced car accident lawyer has the time and energy to pursue the insurance company for you.
3. Expertise
Pursuing a case against an insurance company or government agency, that refuses to compensate an injured party requires a lawyer, who has the experience and expertise to settle a claim. Most insurances companies and government agencies will want to settle, not in the interest of the injured person, but in the interest of their financial benefit. Depending on the severity of injury and the length of recovery, rehabilitation, that involves professionals in occupational therapy, physiotherapy, and psychology, may be required. If there is an acquired permanent disability, then the settlements need to include this life changing injury. This way personal finances and relationships are not severely damaged unnecessarily.
4. Payment
To make sure that clients get the financial support from insurance companies or government agencies, hiring an experienced auto accident lawyer with a contingency fee is an excellent way to get the compensation. This will enable a client to heal fully. It is true that a contingency plan enables a percentage of the settlement going to cover the costs of the lawyer’s costs, while he or she is pursuing a settlement. These costs have been paid for by the lawyer, while he or she is pursuing a settlement with the insurance companies or government agencies. Yet, if there the lawyer is unable to secure a settlement for his of her client, these costs remain with the lawyer, and not transferred to the client. An experienced auto claim lawyer will have the expertise to negotiate or litigate settlements, that will benefit the client, who is healing in all areas of life.
