If your car accident leaves you with serious injuries, like head trauma or a broken wrist, having a lawyer may provide you with important legal protections and help you earn much more for your recovery.
When Can I Skip a Call to a Lawyer?
If your car accident only involves damage to your car, SUV, Truck, or Motorcycle, you probably won’t need a lawyer to help with your case. The car repair process has become pretty standard in the car insurance industry. You should be able to get your vehicle repaired and those repairs paid for without too much hassle.
If your collision only leaves you with minor scrapes and bruising, you may not need the help of a lawyer. When there’s no medical attention needed or there’s only a quick trip to the emergency room, insurers will usually cover the cost if their policyholder is to blame.
But when you have a more serious injury that requires more than just a night in the hospital, insurers look to avoid having to accept blame. Without a lawyer, you may forfeit thousands of dollars in support. If insurance adjusters get their way you may get stuck with the blame and have to cover your own medical bills and lost time at work.
When Should I Talk to a Lawyer After a Ventura County Car Accident?
When you have serious injuries and medical bills are piling up in your mailbox, a lawyer could be of great assistance. The higher the bills grow, the harder Car insurance companies will fight to avoid accepting responsibility. A Thousand Oaks Car Accident Lawyer may be a critical safeguard when an insurer tries to get you to accept blame for an accident or tries to downplay how badly you’re hurt.
The costs involved with a broken leg or a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) can involve days or weeks of hospitalization, surgeries, physical therapy, and home care. This massive financial cost should never be your burden after an accident caused by another driver.
These are just a few of the ways a lawyer can protect your rights and help you secure more in compensation for your recovery:
- Investigate your claim and gather all evidence to make sure the blame stays with the right driver
- Demand quick action when insurers are purposely delaying a response to your claim
- Helps you reject “lowball” injury settlements and demand more from the car insurance company
- Demand support for every medical bill you have, including travel costs
- Demand lifelong support if your injury develops into a permanent disability and leaves you unable to work ever again
- Demand support for the physical pain and mental anguish a frightening accident and difficult medical recovery causes
- Demand reimbursement for every paycheck you forfeit while having to miss work
- Your lawyer uses experience and negotiation skills to secure much more support than you probably could secure by trusting insurers and handling your case yourself
