Advantages of Hiring Personal Injury Attorney When In A Car Accident

The clear advantage of hiring a West Palm Beach personal injury attorney when involved in a car accident is that they will have the experience necessary to navigate the legal waters that lie ahead.  A client that is involved in a car accident really is involved in a crisis situation for the first couple of weeks actually.  They are injured, very often they do not have access to a car, and their finances are usually turned upside down because they don’t know if they can get to work or if they can do the job. Often, depending on the severity of the injury, the insurance company or the doctor that is treating you will ask them to take time off of work. So they have financial issues like paying their mortgage, paying bills, taking care of their kids.
So that first 10 days to 2 weeks is very difficult and a lot of times the decisions they will make via the insurance company calling them and decisions about property damage and decisions about whether I should go to a doctor and who should I see, all of those things are things that we do just as a matter of a routine type checklist to make sure that everything is covered.
A lot of people are hesitant to hire a West Palm Beach personal injury attorney because they worry about the money, but often times you are going to get a larger settlement.  Very rarely, someone handling their own accident or personal injury case ends up with more money in their pocket at the end of the case versus having an attorney handle the matter.
