When To Call A Car Accident Attorney In Florida

When Should I Call a Car Accident Attorney in Florida?

If you are involved in a car accident, you may feel as though you can handle the insurance company on your own. After all, they are willing to offer you a settlement for your injuries, so why would you need a car accident lawyer? In actuality, there are many reasons as to why you should call an auto accident attorney following a car accident. The article, I Was In a Car Accident – Do I Need a Lawyer, addresses this topic in depth.

Insurance companies do not want to have to pay you a high settlement for your injuries. They are in the business of making money and they have their bottom line to consider. The insurance adjusters are trained to look for ways to cut your settlement. They are given a settlement range to work with and they will start at the lower end of that range when making you an offer. If you are not sure the true value of your accident case, you may be accepting a settlement that is not equivalent to your injuries. It is easy to calculate the damages to your vehicle, but it is much more difficult to put a dollar figure on your injuries from the car accident. For example, you may not know how long your pain will last and what type of treatment you will need in the future.

A car accident attorney can step in on your behalf and negotiate with the insurance company. An experienced lawyer will be able to determine how much your case is worth and will work hard to make sure you are fully compensated and not taken advantage of by the insurance company. If necessary, an auto accident lawyer will file a lawsuit in court to help you recover damages for your injuries, such as pain and suffering, lost wages, medical expenses, mental distress and so on. The amount of money you will receive from a car accident settlement is usually higher when you work with an attorney.
