I Was Hurt in a Car Accident: How Can A Lawyer Help?

Lawyer for Car Accident

It doesn’t matter who you are or how the accident occurred, a car accident can be tragic and have difficult and devastating effects.

When it comes to dealing with a car accident, you don’t want to walk the path alone. Having an experienced West Palm Beach car accident lawyer by your side can help you with any questions, concerns or issues. There are many ways a professional lawyer can help you after you have been injured in a car accident.

Know Your Rights

A lawyer will be by your side during this troubling time and ensure that you are aware of all of your rights. Even before an accident occurs, many people aren’t aware of or have been severely misinformed or misunderstood about their rights.

For example, the state of Florida is a no-fault state, but this doesn’t mean that whoever is the cause of your injuries or who is at-fault for the accident gets off without penalties. Many people don’t understand that they may still be liable and required to compensate you for your injuries or any other problems you may have encountered. A lawyer will help you determine if you are eligible to file a suit against the driver and what kinds of things you will need to do so.

Rules and Regulations

In the state of Florida, you may need a lawyer to help you sort through the details and all of the rules and regulations that you need to know to successfully pursue a case after an accident.

For example, if you have been injured in an accident, you must seek medical treatment within fourteen days of the accident. If you wait any longer, you will be required to pay on your own and the insurance company will not pay for your medical expenses.

A lawyer can also inform you as to how long you have to file a suit as well as the type of suit. Wrongful death claims, for example, are extremely different than other suits, so it is important to know what kind of suit you need to file.

Settlement

Once you have spoken with a lawyer about filing a suit against the negligent, the next thing a lawyer can do is provide you with the items you will need to continue.

For some individuals, their injuries are extensive and their expenses are much higher than an insurance company is willing to pay. In this situation, a lawsuit is a good idea. A lawyer can also explain to you how the compensation will work and what it is you can get out of the lawsuit.

A lawyer will inform you of some of the damages you may be able to recover, including:
