If you’ve been seriously hurt in a car accident, it’s usually a very good idea to have legal representation. Something like a bone fracture or head trauma will multiply the medical bills. Those increasing costs make insurance adjusters fight harder to avoid having to accept blame. Your lawyer protects you from their tactics and also makes sure you aren’t cheated out of the support you need to heal physically, emotionally, and financially.
How Can a Lawyer Help My Car Accident Claim Outcome?
After a frightening accident on a busy road like Prosperity Avenue, you’ll want to hold the at-fault driver accountable and put the incident behind you as fast as possible.
But if you’ve suffered an injury that will affect your life for more than a few days, you are at risk of an insurance check falling far short of what you need to recover.

These are just a few of the positives of having a legal representative handle your case:
- Protect you against insurance tactics like switching the blame to you or refuting what your doctor says about the severity of your injuries.
- Fully investigates your collision so you have the evidence to prove who was really to blame.
- Works with your doctors to determine the extent of your injuries and how long you may need support while healing.
- Negotiates on your behalf with car insurance companies and helps you reject “lowball” settlement offers to demand more.
- Representing the threat of a lawsuit if the car insurance company refuses to accept blame. Insurers want to avoid the expense of going before a judge and the hit to their company’s reputation. They will usually work harder to provide a fair settlement if you have a skilled lawyer handling your case.
