Common Car Crash Questions

When and how should a person hire an attorney after a car wreck?

Your priority should be to seek medical attention. After you have taken care of yourself, you should contact an attorney as soon as possible to get started on your case. The sooner an attorney can act, the more evidence and witness statements they will be able to collect to help your case.

It would help if you looked for an attorney with significant experience with both car accidents and trying cases in the courtroom, and then contact them through a call or email. You should indicate this is a recent car accident. The attorney will want to hear details about the crash. After that, the attorney can decide to establish you as their client.

What if the other driver has no insurance?

If the injuries are severe, your attorney may be able to file a lawsuit and seek compensation from the at-fault party that caused the accident. They will be responsible for paying for your medical bills and property damage out of their own pocket. An attorney can take the case in front of a judge to ensure the uninsured driver pays what you are owed.

Can I afford to hire a lawyer after a car wreck?

Yes, if the attorney is reputable. They should first review your case for free and offer suggestions about how to progress or deny taking your case if they are not the right fit for you. From there, it should be on a contingent-fee basis, which means an attorney only is paid if the case recovers compensation. This way, you owe nothing unless you win the case. A good attorney will advise you of the strength of your case and provide a written fee and expense agreement.

When should a person contact the insurance company?

As soon as possible. If you fail to promptly contact your insurance company and report that you are involved in a car crash, you risk losing coverage from them.

How much is my auto accident claim worth?

This depends on the nuances of your case, but most successful cases cover the damage to the car and property and all your past and future medical bills. These numbers are easy to know once you see your bills. Compensation should also cover any lost income from missing work while you recover — another amount that is reasonably easy to calculate. Lastly, you can pursue compensation for pain and suffering, which is very difficult to estimate. Common cases range from the low thousands into tens of thousands of dollars. Catastrophic injuries or serious crashes can enter above the $100,000 range.
