What Does a Car Accident Lawyer Do?
A car accident lawyer represents people who are injured in a car crash. This type of lawyer specializes in documenting the extent of your physical injuries and out of pocket expenses such as time lost from work and damage to your car. The accident lawyer gathers evidence showing that the other driver is at fault. The accident attorney then presents a claim for damages to the insurance company that insures the other driver. This claim for damages includes pain and suffering, economic losses, medical expenses and long term medical care costs and long term physical and emotional suffering.
What if the Insurance Company Does Not Make a Fair Offer?
Experienced accident lawyers are also trial lawyers because at times insurance companies do not make fair or adequate settlement offers. This forces the attorney to file a lawsuit. Once lawsuits are filed cases often settle but if they do not an experienced trial lawyer can present your case to a jury to ensure that you receive full and fair compensation.
