When to Hire an Attorney After a Car Accident
If your car accident has caused any injury or property damage to you or others, consider hiring one of our expert accident attorneys. An accident lawyer can help you file a claim and deal with your insurance company. A lawyer can also sort through police reports and other evidence, help you assess your losses, gather witnesses, and work to determine who was at fault for the wreck.
With a lawyer, you may be more likely to recover damages, medical expenses, and lost wages. You can also rely on them to handle any hearings or trials that may come up or to reach fair settlements with the insurance company or another driver.
Should I Still Hire a Lawyer if the Car Accident Is My Fault?
Yes, you should hire a lawyer even if the car accident is your fault. The auto insurance carrier is obligated to provide an attorney to drivers that are determined to be at fault. If someone is not satisfied with the attorney provided by their insurance carrier to defend them, then they can hire their own attorney at their expense. A lawyer knows the intricacies of the law and can help you sort out the details of your role in the collision. You may not know how to handle evidence, gather witness statements or cope with claims against you, but an attorney does.
If the case goes to a trial, a lawyer can help you build and present your case in a way that'll be more convincing to a judge or jury. If you're at fault for an accident, you’ll at least have the support and expertise you need to represent you and minimize the consequences of the accident.
How Does Dashcam Footage Affect a Car Accident Case?
These days, more and more drivers are installing dashcams in their cars. These can record the events of accidents to help determine which party may be a negligent driver and which may be an accident victim. This evidence is often more reliable than eyewitness accounts, which can contradict each other due to varying viewpoints or the passage of time.
Dashcam legality and use can vary, so ask your attorney how to employ this evidence to your benefit. It may support your claims or muddy the waters, so handle this evidence with care.
