Let’s face it, a car accident can be a very scary situation.  Many victims in a car accident have never been in such a situation.  Your car may have been damaged or even totaled.  You may have minor injuries or even broken bones.  You may have even come close to death.  Some people may not feel pain until months later.  Whatever the case may be, after a car accident, there are too many variables for you to try to handle yourself.  You need the assistance of a good attorney to fight for your rights and ensure that you are adequately compensated and get the proper medical treatment.

Many people try to handle their personal injury claim themselves.  However, they don’t realize that claim adjusters are professional negotiators whose primary goal is to get injured victims to settle for as little as possible.  Sometimes it is even difficult for an attorney to negotiate a proper settlement without actually filing a lawsuit.  A lawsuit usually gets the insurance company’s attention.  It is not unusual for a car insurance company to initially only offer $500.00 to $5,000.00 and turn around and offer $15,000.00 after the injured party’s attorney has filed a lawsuit.  The reason is simply because a car insurance company may spend $5,000.00-$10,000.00 on attorney fees defending a lawsuit and it may be more cost efficient to settle the case.

Medical bills are another reason to hire a personal injury attorney.  If you are injured in a car accident and require immediate medical care, the ambulance and emergency room bills alone may easily total more than $12,000.00.  In California, people are only lawfully required to carry $15,000.00 (per person) of personal injury liability insurance.  You will additionally have future medical bills for treatment and the $15,000.00 will not be enough.  Attorneys are experts at negotiating on your behalf and can possibly get your medical bills settled for a fraction of the actual bill and leave you with thousands in your pocket for pain and suffering.

These are just a few reasons to hire a car accident attorney.  There are several other reasons such as the fact that attorneys are able to have doctors treat you on liens which do not have to be paid until your personal injury case is settled.  Lack of money should never be a reason for you not to hire a personal injury attorney because there is no money required up front and the attorney does not get paid unless you get paid.  If you are interested in hiring a personal injury attorney, call us at (909) 641-4762 and we will have an attorney in our network represent you.
