Four Signs You Need To Speak To A Car Accident Attorney

Traffic Accidents
When you have been injured in an auto accident, you may not know where to turn. You are in pain, the bills are piling up, and you may feel as though you are all on your own. Fortunately, the latter does not have to be true. An auto accident attorney can help you get through this difficult time. However, people do not always call attorneys when they should because they may not think that the situation is not serious enough to hire one. If you are not sure if you need an attorney, here are four signs that you should speak to one:
You Have Bills Accumulating From The Accident
Even if your accident was a minor fender bender, if the bills keep coming and you find them difficult to pay off, you should speak to an attorney. Oftentimes, injuries from auto accidents like traumatic brain injury (TBI), spinal cord injury, and organ damage can require years of medical care. That includes diagnostics, pharmaceuticals, and therapy, which can cost you a fortune in the long run.
If your injuries were the fault of the other driver, you should not have to pay for your recovery. An attorney can help you get the compensation you need to pay all of your bills.
You Are Worried About Your Financial Security
Medical care in Florida is not cheap. Even a simple doctor’s visit can end up costing thousands of dollars. Unpaid bills can lead to financial hardship, especially if your injuries are so severe that you can’t go to work.
When someone else is at fault for an accident, it is their legal obligation to pay. However, while it can take time to get the money, creditors and debt collectors are not willing to wait, unless they speak to your attorney. Your attorney can negotiate to have your bills paid once your case is settled. That way, you do not have to worry about enduring financial hardship until you receive compensation.
Your Claim Was Denied By The Insurance Company
Insurance companies are in the business of making money, not paying claims. That is why they will do everything they can to get out of paying their fair share for your injuries.
If your claim has been denied, it does not necessarily mean that you are not owed compensation. It may be due to a number of excuses the insurance companies use to get out of paying. An attorney will put a stop to the abuses of the insurance company. They will hold the provider to their legal duty and fight to get you the full and fair settlement you are owed by law.
You Are Not Sure How To Prove That The Other Driver Was At Fault
Sometimes, accidents are not clear-cut. You know the accident was caused by the other driver, but it appears like both of you were at fault.
Attorneys know that things are not always what they seem. There are times when small details that can definitively prove that the other driver was responsible are missed during the initial investigation. An attorney understands the process of proving liability. They will not only fully investigate the case but also gather the type of evidence that can legally prove fault. They will tap their network of experts to do everything from reconstructing the accident to showing fault.
