It is worth it to hire an attorney for a car accident. This is especially true when you have been seriously injured in a wreck or when the insurance company offers an unfairly low settlement. The skilled attorneys at Soloff & Zervanos could help you navigate the complex legal process so that you have the best chance of receiving fair compensation.
You do not need to manage your accident claim alone. Read on to learn about the top three reasons to hire a lawyer after a crash.
Car accidents can cause serious injuries. If you need extensive medical treatment due to a motor vehicle accident, retaining one of our experienced attorneys could help ensure that your damages are well documented. Our team could fight for a fair settlement that covers not only your direct expenses, such as hospital bills, lost wages, and property damage, but also compensation for your pain and suffering.
Even if law enforcement fines the other driver, it may not be clear to the legal system exactly who was responsible for the car crash. The other driver’s insurance company may try to blame you for the collision or hold you responsible for a certain percentage of the accident.
Pennsylvania applies a comparative negligence rule to local traffic accident cases. If you are found to be less than 51% at fault, you may still recover damages—especially if you hire an attorney. Your injury lawyer could analyze the evidence, such as police reports and eyewitness testimony, and state traffic laws to build a strong negligence case against the other party.
Insurance companies do not want to pay out claims. That is why a claims adjuster may try to minimize your damages or say that you were more than 51% to blame for the collision. It is worth hiring an experienced lawyer to negotiate a fair award on your behalf. If the insurer’s offer is especially low, any legal fees you do incur outweigh the risk of getting a low settlement when negotiating your compensation alone. This is also true if the accident involved multiple people. Our attorneys could guide you through this often complicated claims process.
