When a person is involved in a serious auto accident they immediately begin wondering who is going to be responsible for their medical costs and damages. Many people mistakenly believe they can get the fair compensation they need by working with the insurance company. Unfortunately, the insurance companies are protecting their bottom line. They will work to pay as little as possible on a claim and may try to deny it. This is why many people feel more comfortable hiring an Auto Accident Attorney.
When you hire an attorney, you will instantly be given the help you need. The attorney can take over much of the tasks needed to settle your case. He or she will contact the insurance company on your behalf and begin working towards getting you a fair settlement. If the insurance company is uncooperative and refuses to settle for what your claim is truly worth, the attorney can file a claim in court, which will allow your case to head to trial.
Trials are often beneficial because they allow substantial evidence to be submitted. The attorney can submit medical records, bills, damage reports, police reports, photos, videos and eyewitness testimony. The attorney can also bring in medical professionals to testify to your injuries and prognosis.
With liability established and your injuries proven, the jury should rule in your favour. It will be up to the jury to determine liability and how much compensation you are awarded as the injured victim. After you are awarded compensation, your attorney can assist you in getting the compensation you were awarded.
In some cases, accident cases are settled outside of court, through mediation meetings. Mediation meetings are held to foster communication between both parties. It also allows both parties to share any discovered information. Whether settled outside of court or in trial, you can expect your attorney to represent you every step of the way.
