Auto accident attorneys specialize in providing legal assistance to individuals impacted by car accidents. They can help you secure compensation from the other driver and even assist in filing a lawsuit if necessary. 

Here are seven compelling reasons why hiring an auto accident attorney could be beneficial to have to fight on your side:

1. Boost Your Winning Chances

The primary reason to hire an auto accident attorney is to enhance your chances of winning your case. Handling a car accident case on your own means you have to navigate the complex legal system alone. A seasoned auto accident attorney knows how to construct a robust case and present it most effectively.

2. Secure a Higher Settlement

In the aftermath of a car accident, the other driver’s insurance company will likely contact you offering a settlement—usually much lower than what you deserve. An experienced auto accident attorney can negotiate with the insurance company on your behalf to secure a fairer settlement.

3. Compensation for Injuries

If you’ve suffered injuries from a car accident, you could be entitled to compensation covering medical bills, lost income, and pain and suffering. An adept auto accident attorney knows how to procure the deserved compensation for you.

4. Reimbursement for Property Damage

If your vehicle suffered damage in the car accident, you might be eligible for compensation covering repair costs. An auto accident attorney who knows the West Virginia laws can guide you through this process.

5. Lawsuit Filing

If the other driver’s negligence caused the accident, filing a lawsuit could be a possible course of action. An auto accident attorney can skillfully file the lawsuit and represent your case in court.

6. No Upfront Costs

Our auto accident attorneys operate on a contingency basis, meaning you don’t pay any fees upfront. The attorney only receives payment if you win your case or secure a settlement.

7. Nothing to Lose

If you’re involved in a car accident, it’s advisable to contact an auto accident attorney promptly. The sooner you reach out to an attorney, the quicker you can begin the process to claim the compensation you deserve.

Work With A Skilled Auto Accident Attorney

Hiring an auto accident attorney can prove invaluable if you’ve been involved in a car accident.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know whether I have a case?

You have a case if you’re injured and someone else has legal fault for what occurred. You must be able to gather facts to prove the liability of the other party. Intentional harm is not required. In fact, most cases are based on negligence or careless behavior that creates an unreasonable risk of harm. At your case consultation, our lawyers can explain whether you have a case and the reasons for our opinion.

How much time do I have to file a lawsuit?

In West Virginia, you have two years to file most personal injury lawsuits. However, there are some exceptions. Two years can seem like a long time, but you need to investigate, build and prepare your case. Always contact a lawyer as soon as possible.

How will my lawyer determine the value of my case?

A lawyer will determine the value of your case by evaluating the losses that you have because of the injury. Then, they compare them to the types of losses that a victim may claim under the law. Other factors may affect your case value, too, like the ability to collect compensation, comparative negligence and the strength of the proofs in your case.

What steps should I take immediately after an injury to protect my rights?

To protect your rights after an injury, get medical attention without delay. Do what you can to prevent additional harm. Don’t discard anything related to the accident like torn clothing. If you can, take photos of the accident scene and your injuries. Contact a lawyer as soon as possible.
