If you’re considering working with an auto accident lawyer in Charlotte, NC, here is a brief synopsis of reasons to consider it. You should consider not only the legal concerns but also what your experience will be like. Our firm handles auto accidents every day, and we’re happy to answer any questions you might have about hiring an auto accident lawyer.
If you’re wondering whether to hire an auto accident lawyer, one primary question is whether you can do better with a personal injury lawyer than you could do on your own. We respect this concern, and we try to address it objectively. Working with an auto accident lawyer, you’ll get the following:
Preserve Your Auto Accident Rights—Quite often, clients come to us with questions about an auto accident after it’s too late. They’ve already signed away their rights with the other driver’s insurance company. Our experience has been that insurance companies look after themselves. If you choose to negotiate your personal injury claim with them directly, you can expect they will take advantage of your lack of legal experience.
Maximize The Value Of Your Auto Accident—While a personal injury lawyer will get paid a fee to handle your claim, our experience has been that the client still comes out better off, financially, if they hire a personal injury lawyer to assist with the claim. The law firm not only represents you aggressively against the other driver’s insurance company, but also negotiates down your medical bills, takes advantage of MedPay, discovers additional insurance policies available in the event you reach a policy cap on the other driver’s policy, and examines Medicare and other insurance liens for validity, often challenging those liens successfully. This means more money in your pocket.
Turn Over The Stress Of Your Auto Accident—Negotiating with and communicating with an insurance company is stressful. They often withhold information, delay finalizing your claim, and take advantage of your lack of legal experience. What this means is that you’re in unknown territory, you’re recovering from injuries, and on top of that, you’re trying to manage the stress of dealing with the insurance company. By hiring a personal injury attorney, you turn that stress over to someone else—someone who not only cares as much about the outcome as you but also someone who is capable of reaching the best outcome possible for you.
Negotiate From A Place Of Power—When you negotiate with an insurance company on your own, they are aware that essentially, your goal is to settle the claim at that level. When an auto accident lawyer handles your claim for you, the insurance company analyzes the demand differently. Not only are they focusing on the value of the claim as put forth by the law firm in the demand package, but they are also weighing the cost of settling vs. the cost of litigating the claim in court. When an auto accident lawyer is representing you, the constant threat of litigation is a critical element to maximizing the value of the claim at the settlement level.
