Car Accidents Require a Skilled Personal Injury Lawyer

Car accidents happen all the time, and they oftentimes leave one or both parties with injuries that require medical attention. Medical bills are expensive. You didn’t ask to be in a car accident; you are the victim, but don’t be financially victimized too. Hire a personal injury lawyer to fight for your interests, and make sure you are compensated for your medical bills and suffering.

Personal injury lawyers are especially important when you are in a wreck with a big rig or other large corporately insured vehicle. The insurance and transportation companies want to settle with you as quickly as possible. Do not sign any papers they put in front of you without a lawyer present even if what they are offering seems like a lot of money. If you waive them of liability and it turns out you have more extensive medical bills than you thought at the time of signing, you are out of luck; you will have to cover the costs for yourself.

Passengers who are involved in car accidents can make injury claims too. Anyone who is responsible for the accident is liable to you. That includes both drivers of the involved cars assuming that both are at least partially to blame and the owners of both cars assuming that they are not already the drivers. These individuals’ insurance companies should be paying your medical bills. Once again, do not let the insurance companies fool you into signing away your right to litigation before you speak with an attorney and fully understand the extent of your injuries.

There is an interplay between “No Fault” and Pip Benefits to pay medical bills from your automobile insurance policy and health insurance. This can be complex which is why you need a seasoned attorney to navigate this maze.

If you are injured, there are two things you must do. First, get medical attention asap. Second, call my office. I will determine if you have a case. If you do, the fee does not get paid until and unless the case settles.
