Four Signs You Need a Car Accident Attorney

September 4, 2020

Car accidents happen every day, and often passengers walk away with just a few scrapes and bruises. Sadly, sometimes passengers do not walk away from these accidents. If you were injured in a car accident, you might need the help of an experienced accident attorney to help you get the compensation you deserve.

#1 The Car Accident Caused Serious Injury or Death

If you or a loved one suffered severe injuries or if you lost a loved one in a car accident, you should contact an experienced accident attorney to help you get the compensation you deserve. Car accident claims often involve complex civil cases that require the experience and expertise of an accident and injury attorney.

#2 You Cannot Work Due to the Injuries Sustained in the Car Accident

If you were severely injured and cannot return to work after an accident, you will want to seek compensation for lost wages and medical bills. In some cases, a car accident can impact the victim’s earning capacity for the rest of their life. 

#3 An Uninsured Motorist Was Involved in the Accident

If one or more of the drivers involved in the accident did not have insurance, you should also contact an attorney as soon as possible. In Kentucky, it is estimated that almost 16% of drivers are uninsured. An experienced car accident attorney can help you evaluate your options and file a lawsuit to seek compensation for damages caused by the car accident.

#4 The Insurance Company Isn’t Offering Fair Compensation 

After an accident, insurance companies will often have an insurance adjuster offer a small financial settlement to the accident victim. These adjusters work for the insurance company and are tasked with protecting the insurance company’s interest first and foremost. Therefore, they will often offer a meager settlement that is not adequate to cover the actual damages. If you feel the offer from an insurance company isn’t fair, it’s essential to contact a personal injury attorney who can handle your claim.
