At least three out of four people will be involved in at least one automobile accident at some point in their lifetime and younger drivers are more likely to be involved in an accident due to less experience behind the wheel. But whether you are younger or older, being involved in an automobile accident can be overwhelming and confusing. Between dealing with injuries, vehicle repairs, insurance companies, and time away from work, many people are unsure of what steps they should take next. One of the most common questions among our clients is whether you should contact a lawyer. While every situation is different, in most cases, speaking with an experienced attorney in the early going will help you navigate the process.
At Bateman McDonald Law Firm we speak with all callers to answer questions they have about their automobile accidents at no charge and help them decide if hiring a lawyer to help with their case would be helpful. Typical questions are:
- Should I report the accident to my insurance company?
- Should I give a statement to the insurance company?
- Who is responsible for the damage to my vehicle and what happens if I can’t drive my vehicle because of the damage?
- If I’m injured, will the other driver’s insurance company reimburse me for medical bills and any time I miss from work due to my injuries or medical treatment?
- If I want to hire a lawyer to help me, how will I be able to afford it?
When the insurance company contacts you to ask questions about your accident, you know they’ve got a team of lawyers ready and willing to help them and you should not face them alone. We are here to help by offering a free consultation about your case and providing information to help make some very important decisions about your accident. Calling a lawyer for help is not wrong, it is the right thing to do so you can make sure your rights are protected.
