Should You Get an Attorney After a Car Accident?

If you have been injured in a car accident that was someone else’s fault, it is recommended that you hire a personal injury lawyer as soon as possible to avoid making costly and irreparable mistakes.  Even if you belief your injuries will eventually improve, your recovery may take much longer than anticipated, and in the meantime you are faced with ongoing medical costs.  In addition to your medical bills you may be unable to work and have other related expenses so the sooner you have on attorney working on your behalf, the better.  Also please keep in mind that there are deadlines for filing personal injury claims.

In addition to recovering the actual costs associated with the accident you may also be entitled to compensation for your “pain and suffering.”   The amount of money you receive “generally depends on the seriousness of your injuries, any aggravating circumstances, and the length of your recovery. For instance, if you suffer a broken femur and undergo multiple surgeries, the pain and suffering you experience is naturally going to be worse than that from a minor fender bender.”
