Hiring a personal injury attorney after a car accident in California can be beneficial, especially if you were injured, there’s a dispute about fault, or the insurance company is offering less than you believe your claim is worth.
Some common reasons people hire a personal injury attorney include:
Evaluating the full value of the claim. An attorney can help calculate not only current medical bills and vehicle damage, but also future medical treatment, lost income, reduced earning capacity, and pain and suffering.
Dealing with insurance companies. Insurers often have experienced adjusters and attorneys. A personal injury lawyer can handle communications and negotiations on your behalf.
Gathering evidence. Attorneys can obtain police reports, medical records, witness statements, photographs, surveillance footage, and expert opinions to support your case.
Meeting legal deadlines. Most California personal injury claims arising from car accidents are subject to a statute of limitations, and missing deadlines can jeopardize your claim.
Litigation if necessary. If settlement negotiations fail, an attorney can file a lawsuit and represent you in court.
