Understanding the Breakdown of a Car Accident Case
May 18, 2015 – Adam Mann
After a serious auto accident, you or a loved one may be unsure of whether or not to hire a lawyer. And while it’s always smart to at least consult with one in order to understand the full extent of your rights, it’s also important to remember all the things a lawyer can help take care of for you during this overwhelming, exhausting and sometimes emotionally draining time.
Here are just a few of the things a lawyer can handle for you in an accident case:
Who a Lawyer Speaks to on Behalf of the Client
- The client’s insurance company
- The defendant’s insurance company
- Witnesses
- Police officers
- Medical professionals
- Repair shop workers
- Insurance company appraisers
- Health insurance representatives
- Medical lien holders
- Liability adjusters
- Property damage adjusters
- Accident reconstruction specialists
- Expert witnesses
- Credit agencies
- Employers
What Items a Lawyer Takes Care of for the Client:
- Filing claims with the client’s insurance company
- Filing claims with the defendant’s insurance company
- Contacting insurance companies with any additional inquiries
- Choosing the right doctor
- Procuring an accident report
- Reducing medical bills
- Negotiating a settlement
- Handling an assets check on defendants
