How a Car Accident Lawyer Can Help You

A car accident lawyer can work to protect your rights and act with your best interests in mind. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that there are over 3 million emergency department visits annually for injuries sustained in motor vehicle crashes. The more serious your injuries are, the higher your losses could be.

An experienced car accident lawyer can advocate for your rights with the insurance company or, if necessary, in a trial. Insurance adjusters are notoriously challenging to work with. Uncooperative insurance providers can compound an already stressful situation.

Along with assessing your losses, a lawyer can handle all the necessary paperwork for your insurance claim and interact with the insurance company on your behalf. A car accident lawyer may also assist you in:

• Negotiating fair compensation
• Corresponding with the insurance adjuster
• Submitting medical records for review
• Demonstrating the negligence and liability of the other driver
• Complying with applicable statutes of limitations
• Filing a personal injury lawsuit on your behalf
• Filing motions during court proceedings

A car accident lawyer can build a case that documents a wide range of accident-related expenses and losses.

Situations in Which You Should Hire a Car Accident Lawyer

It can be confusing and overwhelming to decide whether or not to hire a lawyer in the aftermath of a serious car accident. Multiple situations may justify contacting a personal injury attorney.

You suffered serious injuries

If you suffered significant injuries in a motor vehicle accident, it is in your best interests to consult with a personal injury attorney. A lawyer can help you to pursue restitution for medical treatment, lost wages, and other damages. This can be a complicated process. A car accident lawyer can help you attain maximum compensation.

The insurance company wants to settle the claim immediately

If you have suffered injuries due to the negligence of another driver, his or her insurance company will likely move to settle the claim quickly. Insurance companies often attempt to undervalue your claim and lock you into a settlement agreement before you realize the full extent of the damages. 

Opposing insurance companies do not have your best interests in mind. Therefore, it is best to refrain from speaking with them directly. A car accident lawyer can handle these insurance negotiations for you, thereby protecting you from being pressured into accepting an unfair settlement.

The insurance company denied your claim

It is not uncommon for an insurance company to deny that their policyholder is at fault in an accident. They may try to shift the blame to you, even twisting your statements to make you appear liable.

When an insurance company denies your claim, it does not automatically mean that you do not have a case to pursue. A car accident lawyer can go to bat for you by collecting evidence and submitting documentation to prove your case.

Your damages include more than medical bills

The pain and suffering experienced in a car accident can reach far beyond the initial medical expenses. Injuries sustained in car accidents often lead to chronic and significant pain, and an especially serious car crash may result in increased anxiety and PTSD.

In some cases, there may be lost wages to consider if a person had to miss work due to the injuries or now has to have a reduced workload. Your overall quality of life may have been greatly impacted by the accident.

A car accident lawyer can help you to attain due compensation for all damages and personal losses sustained. Additionally, your lawyer may be able to negotiate reduced medical bills after you have reached a fair settlement agreement.

Multiple parties caused the accident

Under Arizona’s comparative negligence laws, an injured party is allowed to recover damages even if partially at fault for the accident. In situations of comparable negligence, your compensation is reduced by the degree of fault you are assigned for the accident.

When multiple parties bear some degree of responsibility for an accident, things can become very complicated very quickly. A car accident attorney will advocate for you so that you don’t end up with an unfair settlement.

Thank you for everything.

When in pain because of an accident all you want to do is focus on getting better and that is what did thanks to this firm. My family and I were set up with a Dr and Chiro right away. The treatment we received was great. I am extremely thankful for all the help we received and the outcome on the cases. Thanks to everyone involved on my case. A special thanks the intake specialist Rosalba who was very kind on the phone when I first called. I highly recommend this firm to anyone, they treat you like family.

I am so thankful for Ruthann and Maria. They both were amazing throughout the process. When Maria took over my case, I felt like I was being treated with empathy about my pain and experiences while treating. She also made sure to answer my questions. Maria always responded to my communication attempts and answered questions I had as they came up. She helped me with things I needed in regards to my case and helped ease the anxiety as bills piled up and my injuries were still being treated. I was able to contact her as I was treating and she helped find providers closer to my home to make it more accommodating for me. This helped me juggle work...

What can I say about Phillips Law group. I was involved in a major car accident and sustained injuries. I looked up for Law Firms in Arizona and stumbled across Phillips Law Group.

My case closed yesterday and I RAN to make this review because of how exceptional my experience has been with Phillips Law Group! I received the best settlement I could've hoped for and am extremely happy with the outcome; but I especially wanted to shout out and give praise to Julianna, the Litigation Paralegal on my case. From the moment Julianna was assigned to my case almost two years ago, until the completion of the settlement process yesterday, Julianna's commitment to exceptional customer service, clear communication, and unwavering support truly stood out. I had so many questions -- from the legal process, to where to seek medical treatment, to questions about medical bills, to the negotiation process, and more --...
