    Reasons to Call an Attorney After An Auto Accident

    Under the law, depending on the state where the car accident occurred, you have certain legal rights if you are injured in a car accident due to someone else’s negligence. Unfortunately, many car accidents result in complex situations where a detailed accident scene investigation or expert testimony is required in order to secure full and fair compensation. Or, as an accident victim you may be in pain, bewildered and frightened, and not at all certain what to do first. There are many details that can be overlooked, and those details can be critical in your fight for justice and compensation. The car accident attorneys at Action Legal Group have decades of experience in protecting your rights and successfully fighting for compensation for car accident victims or their loved ones.

    If you, or a loved one, have been injured in a motor vehicle accident – as a driver or as a passenger – it is important you call an attorney who specializes in all aspects of car accidents as soon as possible after the accident to protect your legal rights.

    Limited Time to Sue:

    In most states there is a limited time, known as statute of limitations, for filing a car accident claim. If you fail to act within that time frame, you will forever lose your rights to sue and never receive the justice and compensation you deserve.

    Certain Rules Must be Followed:

    Individual states have very different and strict requirements that must be followed within a set time period following a car accident in order to preserve your legal rights. For example, it may be required to file a police report within a very short window of time, and failure to adhere to a mandated time frame may extinguish some of your legal rights. An experienced car accident attorney will know the complex laws in your state, and will make sure you do not jeopardize your legal rights.

    Dealing with Insurance Companies:

    Most insurance companies will work with their customers, quickly offering compensation for both vehicle damages and medical expenses. Yet, insurance companies inherently strive to keep their costs down, often by means of significantly lower payouts to accident victims. An experienced car accident attorney has the experience to negotiate with big insurance companies and aggressively represent your best interest to secure fair and full compensation.

    Full Range of Potential Damages:

    An experienced car accident attorney will know the full range of potential claims for damagesyou may be entitled to. Beyond claims for repair or replacement of your vehicle and basic medical expenses, you may also be entitled to recovery for pain and suffering, present and future lost wages, or even damages for family members should be you be permanently disabled from the car accident.

    Negotiating Settlements:

    Most insurance companies and the party responsible for your car accident will likely prefer to settle your case outside of court. And, in many cases these settlement offers are far below what you are fairly due. Not only will an experienced car accident attorney aggressively negotiate any settlement offer, the attorney will also clearly advise you of all your legal options and explain the legal implications of accepting any settlement offer.

    The above are just a few of the reasons to hire an experienced car accident attorney after a motor vehicle accident. Insurance companies have large teams of attorneys working for them, leaving you at a serious disadvantage should you try to represent yourself. Most insurance companies will discourage you from hiring any attorney and put pressure on you to accept a lower settlement quickly.

    Do not sign any document or agreement with an insurance company until you have talked with an experienced car accident attorney, and never tell anyone the accident was your fault.
