Do I Need a Lawyer If I Was Injured In an Auto Accident?

When you are injured in an auto accident, you may have a host of questions. Who was at fault? Who will pay to fix the damages to my car? Am I entitled to rent a car? Who pay for this? Who will pay for my medical bills? Am I entitled to compensation for my lost wages?
An experienced car accident attorney in New York can be helpful in answering your questions during this chaotic and confusing time. A good attorney can also successfully negotiate a resolution to your claim and obtain the full extent of the compensation that you deserve.
Your Medical Bills
Your personal injury lawyer can guide you through the process of handling medical bills resulting from the injuries that you sustained in the car accident. Even if your injuries are minor, you may still incur significant medical charges. Your medical provider may need to examine you and test you for any latent or hidden injuries that you may not be aware of.
Because of the fight-or-flight response that occurs during the stress of an accident, your body may initially mask the effects of some of your injuries. You may need pain medication, digital imaging, physical therapy, and repeat follow-up. If your injuries are more severe, you may also need surgery. Your attorney can work with your medical providers to set up a medical lien whereby they will defer payment until the resolution of your claim. This means that you do not have to pay until your claim settles, or otherwise finishes.
Negotiating with Insurers
Whether the other driver involved in your accident was an individual or a commercial driver, your attorney can help you navigate the complicated process of dealing with the insurance adjuster. Negotiating an insurance settlement and trying a personal injury lawsuit involves a lot of complicated work. When you are injured in a car accident, you need to concentrate on your recovery, not dealing with the legal aspects of your claim. With a trusted attorney on your side, you can focus on the healing of your injuries, while your attorney deals with the insurance company, and their lawyer etc.
