These are just a few of the reasons you should seek legal representation as soon as possible after being involved in an automobile accident.

How Does a Car Accident Attorney Benefit You?

You might know someone who believes they could represent themselves in a dispute with an insurance company stemming from a car wreck. We’ve seen examples of this before, and they never end well. They turn out great for the insurance company, but they’re a disaster for the accident victim.

No one should ever try to take on this kind of challenge on their own. Unless you have specific training, there’s absolutely no way you’ll be able to get the money you need. Not only will you not know the law well enough, you won’t know how to negotiate with insurance company adjusters. You will either only obtain a fraction of the compensation you would have received, or you’ll get nothing at all.

Hiring an attorney, on the other hand, will put you on equal ground. Seasoned attorneys know how to obtain the evidence needed in order to make their client’s case as strong as possible. They also know how to negotiate a fair settlement offer from an insurer. If, for whatever reason, that offer isn’t made, an attorney will know how to make a persuasive case and win.

We Have Years of Experience and Connections in the Industry

Arye P. Corbett has extensive experience in litigation, and also has extensive trial experience. He knows how insurance company professionals think, and how to force them into paying accident victims what they deserve for the suffering they’ve had to go through.

Mr. Corbett spent years at one of the biggest personal injury law firms in Florida, handling not only car accident cases but several other types of personal injury cases as well. He has also worked closely with the best scientific and medical experts, and will often call on them to help prove a client’s case.

You Won’t Have to Deal with the Stress

Trying to shoulder the burden of your expenses, as well as recovering from your injury, is more than enough. The last thing you’ll want to do is jeopardize that recovery by adding the stress of trying to deal with insurance providers. Your attorney will take care of that, handling all of the document juggling, the negotiations with insurance reps, and more. All you’ll need to focus on will be getting better as quickly as possible.

We’ll be Able to Determine Liability

In order for you to obtain maximum compensation, you’ll have to prove that the negligent party (or parties) was liable for the accident. In order to do that, you’ll need evidence. An attorney will be able to do just that, gathering the proof needed to show you deserve every penny you can possibly get. This means investigating the accident scene, obtaining video footage from any nearby security cameras, interviewing witnesses and much more.

We Can Calculate Your Total Damages and Negotiate Your Settlement Offer

We also have a deep understanding of how to calculate the “damages,” or expenses, that injury victims incur due to an accident. While no attorney will be able to promise you’ll obtain a specific amount of money, we will know exactly how much your case will be worth. We’ll use that knowledge to negotiate a fair settlement with an insurance company.

But, as noted earlier, we’ll also be prepared to take your case inside a courtroom if necessary. In many instances, accident victims wind up obtaining even more compensation when this type of matter goes to trial.

When Should You Hire a Car Accident Attorney?

The short answer is as soon as you possibly can. The scene of an accident can change quickly, due to weather conditions and other factors. Critical evidence, such as tire marks, can be washed away. Road construction can completely alter the accident scene forever.

But that’s just one reason why you’ll need to act fast. You may also be receiving a slew of harassing calls from the insurance company of the at-fault driver. An adjuster might be trying to bully you into either accepting blame, or accepting a laughably low settlement offer. An attorney can shield you from those calls so you can focus on your recovery.

Questions to Ask When Hiring a Car Accident Attorney

While you need to hire an attorney quickly, you should not simply go with the first one you see on a commercial, or through an internet search. Take your time and ask questions of the attorneys you’re considering. Here are just a few examples.

• What is your area of legal expertise? – You’ll want someone who knows how to handle the complexities that are specific to car accident cases.

• How long will my case take? – There are many factors that can determine the answer to this question, but a skilled attorney will take the facts of your specific case into account and be able to give you at least a general idea.

• Will you be available when I need you? – Good attorneys make time to be available to their clients. They don’t disappear when they’re needed the most. Find out how the attorney will keep you notified of developments in your case.
