Philly Car Accident Lawyer Discusses Frequently Asked Questions About When You Should Call a Lawyer Following an Accident

PHILADELPHIA, PA / ACCESSWIRE / March 31, 2018 / Philadelphia car accident attorney Rand Spear helps protect the rights of Pennsylvanians who have been injured in car accidents and works to pursue the compensation they deserve when their injuries are caused by another driver’s negligence. Here, he offers advice about when a car accident victim should contact an attorney following an accident and why it’s important to do so.

Hire a Car Accident Lawyer As Soon As Possible

If you are in a car accident of any kind, you should contact an attorney as soon as you can. A car wreck has the potential to cause you or your passengers serious injuries and significant damage to your car. Pennsylvania law allows victims of car accidents to recover compensation for these types of damages, but only if they can successfully prove that the car accident was a result of the negligence of someone else.

Why Hire a Car Accident Attorney Right Away?

There are some very important reasons that you should contact an attorney right away when you’re involved in an accident. The two biggest reasons are:

Proving negligence is complicated or difficult. If liability following an accident is contested by the other party involved, it might be necessary to conduct an investigation to prove that the other driver is responsible. An experienced car accident lawyer will know how to proceed with an investigation, using expert witnesses, if needed, and how and where to look for evidence that supports your claim.

You might say the wrong thing. Insurance companies are businesses, and they want to make money. Adjusters are trained to work hard to minimize how much they pay out when their clients are responsible for accidents. When you talk to them, which you shouldn’t do without an attorney, you could inadvertently say something that could significantly impact how much you can recover in damages. When you hire an attorney, he will deal with the insurance company, and will know what to say on your behalf. That will ensure that you are able to get the compensation that you are entitled to for your injuries and other damages.
