Why Get a Car Accident Attorney?

Hiring a car accident attorney is crucial for maximizing your compensation, navigating complex legal and insurance procedures. Hiring a car accident attorney allows you to focus on physical and emotional recovery.

Insurance companies prioritize their profits and often use tactics to minimize payouts. A great car accident attorney working your side helps levels the playing field.

Key Reasons to Hire a Car Accident Attorney

Expertise in Personal Injury Law: Attorneys have in-depth knowledge of relevant local and state laws, procedures, and deadlines (like the statute of limitations). Attorneys understand the specific laws in your area and how they apply to your case.

Maximizing Compensation: Improve your chances for winning bigger settlements. Studies show that victims with legal representation often receive significantly higher settlements than those who handle their claims alone.

Calculating Pain and Suffering: An attorney ensures you seek compensation for all damages, including both economic losses (like medical bills and lost income) and non-economic ones (like pain and suffering). They can also help with future medical costs and lost earning potential.

Dealing with Insurance Companies: Attorneys handle all communication and negotiations with insurance adjusters, who are trained to protect their company’s bottom line by offering lowball settlements. Your attorney can counter these tactics, push back on unfair offers, and prevent you from inadvertently saying something that could be used against you. Your attorney can negotiate on your behalf to counter their tactics and secure a fair settlement for you.

Proving Liability: In many cases, especially those involving multiple parties, commercial vehicles, or unclear circumstances, proving fault can be complex. An attorney conducts a thorough investigation, gathers evidence (police reports, witness statements, medical records, surveillance footage, “black box” data), and may consult experts like accident reconstructionists to build a strong case.

Handling Complex Procedures: Administrative work like filing paperwork and organizing medical records to preparing for trial is time-consuming and complex. An attorney manages these administrative burdens, meeting legal deadlines, allowing you to focus on healing.

Court Representation: If negotiations fail, and a settlement can’t be reached, an experienced attorney at Chris and Frank can represent you in court and handle the litigation process.

Preventing Costly Mistakes: A single mistake, such as a social media post or saying the wrong thing, can jeopardize your claim. An attorney can help you prevent these errors.

Working on a Contingency Basis: Most personal injury lawyers work on a contingency “no win, no fee” basis. Meaning you don’t pay any attorney’s fees upfront. They receive a percentage of the compensation only if they successfully win your case or secure a settlement.

Top Causes of Car Accidents

It is clear that car manufacturers are investing in technologies that prevent accidents and keep drivers and passengers safer. This included features like autonomous braking, lane-keep assist, and forward-collision warning hitting the market over the past two decades.

Even though vehicles might technically be safer now, driving a car is still quite dangerous. Driver error is a common cause of car accidents.

Car accidents tend to take place for the following reasons:

Distracted Driving: Distractions are everywhere. Cell phones, conversations with passengers, or even changing the radio station can lead to a car accident.

Driving while intoxicated: Fatal crashes involving an alcohol-impaired driver account for about 30 percent of all traffic fatalities.

Recklessness: Speeding contributes to more one third of all fatalities.

Poor and Unsafe Road Conditions: Strong rains and stiff wind can play a part in vehicle accidents. Cars may hydroplane, slip out of control, or suddenly veer into another vehicle’s path due to adverse conditions. Furthermore, roads that are not adequately maintained by government authorities can contribute to car accidents.

Mechanical Defect: When a car is designed, built, or sold with defective parts or not maintained properly, an auto accident can occur due to a mechanical malfunction.

Regardless of the cause, we have a proven team of auto accident attorneys who can help you. We want you to feel comfortable to talk with an accident attorney from Chris and Frank today to discuss the cause of your vehicle accident. Call us today for a free consultation.
