No one is ever prepared for the emotional and financial toll an unexpected motor vehicle accident can cause. And, if you are also injured in a motor vehicle or motorcycle accident, you can easily become overwhelmed when dealing with insurance, medical injuries, pain, work, repairs, and recovery, as most people have a limited understanding of the laws and procedures after an accident happens.
Under the law, victims of car accidents are entitled to compensation for property damage, medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and for permanent injury or disfigurement. Statistics demonstrate that accident victims who retain a lawyer receive on average three times the compensation paid to individuals who are not represented by legal counsel. Also, be aware that adjusters and insurers may try to take advantage of victims who are not represented by an attorney experienced in accident law.
