Insurance companies employ insurance adjusters working to protect them as they have a vested interest in offering the lowest possible settlement to you regarding your car accident and your injuries, instead of prioritizing your best interests; whereas, an attorney will work to protect your best interest and ensure you receive the compensation you deserve. An attorney will explain to you your rights as the laws surrounding car accidents can be complex. An attorney will also conduct an independent investigation of your car accident case, obtain the official police report, interview witnesses, hire expert witnesses, and build your case in order for you to receive the compensation you deserve. An independent investigation will correctly present your case for negotiations with an insurance company or in a court of law. Below are some additional reasons why you should consider hiring a car accident attorney.
- The insurance company is not looking out for your best interest as you may think they are: While we like to think that insurance companies have our best interests in mind, their first aim is to keep their own costs down and reduce overhead. This means that your interests and those of insurance companies may not always align. Hiring an attorney is one way to ensure that you have an advocate on your side to protect your rights.
- You may not understand all of the damages you’re entitled to: There are a wide array of damages that you might deserve. Not only will you be able to receive compensation for your medical bills, but you should be able to recover your lost wages. Pain and suffering and emotional distress are other damages you might be able to claim.
- The settlement options can be confusing: One of the most important benefits of hiring an attorney is their ability to negotiate with insurance companies on your behalf. Your attorney can handle all communication with an insurance company and negotiate to recover all the compensation you deserve. Sometimes, an insurance company will attempt to delay a settlement or procrastinate on negotiations with a victim. Insurance companies have also been known to offer low settlements.
- Filing a lawsuit is very complex: If you decide that your best option is to sue the other party for compensation, it isn’t as easy as it may sound. There are complex rules that you must follow and deadlines that you must meet. Having an attorney on your side will ensure that you are following all the rules and deadlines so you don’t miss out on the opportunity to file your lawsuit.
