Were you involved in an auto collision? Was someone else at fault? If you have been involved in a car crash, you may be confused about what to do next. One of the first things you should do is contact a lawyer to help you. This provides you plenty of benefits so you can move forward and ensure that your rights are protected. At Power Rogers, our Chicago auto accident lawyers are determined to help our clients after they have sustained injury in a collision. Read below to learn the benefits of hiring a lawyer after an accident.
Protection from Insurance Companies
After an accident, the other party’s insurance company, or your own insurance company, may be uncooperative and attempt to avoid taking responsibility. Unfortunately, the insurance industry is made up of big corporations that often care only about their bottom line and profits. This means they may try to limit the amount of compensation they pay. With a lawyer on your side, you can protect yourself from these companies and get the compensation you deserve.
Understanding of Your Case
Individuals who are injured in an accident often find themselves confused about the process and what they need to do in order to pursue their case. With an attorney, you will know what documents you need and what information can help prove your case, as well as what to expect next.
Access to Resources
Hiring an attorney to help handle your case can give you access to various resources that you may not have had otherwise. This means expert witnesses, medical professionals, and accident reconstructionists who can all attest to the cause of the accident and the injuries sustained.
Avoid Losing Your Right to Compensation
A lawyer can help you understand what not to do during an auto accident case. There are certain things you may do that could jeopardize your case such as discussing the details with certain parties, posting about it on social media, or giving recorded statements to the insurance company.
Seek Just Compensation
Remember that insurance companies often offer settlements that are much less than the amount you deserve. This is in hopes of you agreeing to the settlement and abandoning the lawsuit. A lawyer can work to recover maximum compensation on your behalf.
Full Understanding of the Law
Many people feel as though they can handle their own cases. This may leave them vulnerable to the attorney for the other party and to the particularities of our laws. You want to make sure that you have someone who fully understands this area of law and knows what needs to be done to secure a favorable outcome.
No Financial Hardships
At Power Rogers, we don’t charge unless we are able to successfully recover compensation on your behalf. With your medical bills already causing you to struggle financially, our contingency fee basis allows you to retain representation without added stress and expense.
