Hiring a Car Accident Attorney

You were involved in an accident. Now what? Knowing when you need a car accident attorney is important because it could be the difference between a justly resolved case and owing or losing large monetary damages.

The attorneys at Powell & Associates can help you recover losses resulting from an accident, and reduce the hassle and large amounts of paper work that typically come along with an accident. Many motor vehicle accidents result in minor vehicle damage, and these cases can generally be handled alone through direct contact with an insurance company.

Why You Need a Car Accident Attorney

A car accident attorney can provide you with a number of helpful resources during this confusing time. Attorneys have a better understanding of the law, insurance processes, experience in court, and so much more that can help you win your case.

Comprehensive Understanding of the Law

Car accident attorneys have a thorough understanding of the laws that apply locally to your case. Using an accident attorney can save you time and money. They already have knowledge of the evidence needed to support your claims, which means you won’t be stuck wasting your time doing your own research.

Help with the Insurance Claims Process

Filing an insurance claim can be a long, confusing process. Attorneys understand this process well and can help you determine what information you need to provide the insurance company to get the most out of your claim. If your claim is initially denied, they can also assist you in the appeal process.

Comprehensive Calculation of Damages

It is important to take into consideration the economic and non-economic damages that you have experienced after a car accident. With the help of an experienced lawyer, you can rest assured that you’re not missing out on any damages you are owed.

Experience in Negotiating Insurance Settlements

Attorneys are experienced with negotiating with insurance claims specialists, and they know exactly what to say in order to argue for the full value of your claim. Each claims specialist has a reserve amount they’re allowed to offer for an accident based on the amount of risk for the insurance company. The involvement of an attorney automatically raises the amount of risk for an insurance company, which increases the amount of money in their settlement reserve offer.

Representation in Court

Court can be intimidating, especially when you’re representing yourself against lawyers and insurance companies. They have years of experience fighting these cases, and they know how to argue to reduce the value of your claim or to avoid paying you altogether.
