A Bakersfield accident might be very clear-cut, showing that another driver smashed into you. And yet an unfair car insurance company may still quibble over the fault, simply to dream up a reason to reject your claim.
This is when an accident reconstruction team can make a major difference in the outcome of your claim. A skilled team can comb over the scene and find the evidence that shows who was really at fault. The evidence shows the truth, and you receive the money you need to pay your hospital bills and fix your car!
When You Might Need a Lawyer for Your Car Accident Claim
If you are in a car accident with only minor injuries, or just a wrecked car, you may be fine handling your claim yourself. But when more serious injuries are involved, like broken bones, a head injury, or a back or neck injury, it’s wise to contact a lawyer.
More serious injuries mean more medical bills, and car insurance companies will go much further to avoid blame. They’ll question fault, and they’ll question your injuries.
A skilled Bakersfield Car Accident Lawyer fully investigates your claim and nails down evidence to head off these tactics. When insurers refuse to accept blame, Maison Law also works with accident reconstruction teams. Their findings make sure innocent victims never get stuck with the blame and don’t miss out on the support they need to recover.
How Does an Accident Reconstruction Team Help?
Accident Reconstruction teams analyze collision scenes to determine how an accident unfolded and ultimately, who was at fault.
They often use computer software and precise measurements at the accident location to figure out where cars were heading into an impact. The results often clearly show the at-fault driver’s mistake.
These are a few of the benefits of having an accident reconstruction team.
- Data Collection: Accident reconstruction crews calculate the angles and speeds of vehicles in accidents. Where vehicles ended up after a collision is also factored in. These figures reveal what was going on behind the wheel with all drivers just before the crash.
- Combing the Scene: Accident reconstructionists sift through the evidence and often find details that investigating officers may miss. They determine where debris ended up and how far skid marks extended when someone slammed on the brakes.
- Computer Assistance: Teams have powerful software. When all the accident data is entered, a clear picture of how a collision occurred emerges.
- Expert Testimony: Experts on reconstruction teams can supply evidence for a settlement negotiation. But if a car insurance company still refuses to acknowledge the truth, those experts become expert witnesses for a trial. Their testimony can be pivotal for a judge and jury deciding if a car insurance company is responsible for accident damages. Trials aren’t usually necessary to resolve car accident claims, but your Maison Law attorney will have a case prepared if it becomes necessary.
Earning Support for Bakersfield Victims Through Evidence
Car accident victims don’t receive the same amount in accident settlements. Every accident is different, and the negotiations that occur with unhelpful insurance adjusters rarely turn out the same in two different cases.
A lawyer’s negotiating skill often determines if injured victims receive full compensation for all of their hardships, or end up paying for some of their own bills. Negotiating from a position of power is always better, and strong evidence makes that possible.
With a skilled attorney and justice on your side, you can ask for these benefits and more:
- Hospital and medical expenses now, and accurate estimates for care anticipated in the future.
- Wages and benefits are lost while the victim has been forced to miss time at work.
- The cost of travel to and from medical appointments, especially trips out of town to see specialists.
- Support for the physical discomfort and pain.
- Support for the emotional distress victims must cope with from the scary accident and a challenging recovery.
- Loss of enjoyment of life.
- Money for car repairs or replacement. Reimbursement for personal property damage.
- Wrongful death benefits for families who lose a loved one to a careless driver’s mistake.
