The reason that you should get an auto accident attorney is you will likely be given the bare minimum by an insurance company if you handle the case on your own. Insurance companies are in the business to make a profit and they do this, in part, by keeping claims costs down when possible. You might not be aware of certain legal rights to compensation for things like emotional trauma. An auto accident attorney knows the ins and outs of the process and, as a result, is able to get you the most for your accident. That’s their job.
When Should You Look for an Auto Accident Lawyer?
While you can bring an attorney on to your case at any time before the settlement is closed by the insurance company, it’s best to get one as soon as you are injured. The attorney may recommend specialist doctors to help diagnose the case and get you the best care that you deserve. And getting an attorney on board right away minimizes the chance that you’ll make a statement to the insurance company that damages your chances for a good settlement. Most clients find that the earlier that they get an attorney, the better their settlement becomes.
