No matter how carefully your drive, you can’t control everything, and accidents happen. Even in the case of a relatively minor accident, legal issues can arise that are difficult to navigate by yourself. If you’re unsure if you need a lawyer after a car accident, the safest and wisest thing to do is consult one, just in case. At Feniger, Uliasz & Stacey, we can help you navigate through any legal issues that may arise after an accident.
Here are some circumstances when you might need a lawyer after a car accident.
Serious Injuries and Liability Disputes
Even if you seem okay immediately after an accident, it’s not uncommon for injuries to present themselves later. When that happens, it can be difficult to claim compensation or coverage for your treatment. A lawyer can help you present a case that links your injuries back to the accident. If there is any question about who is a fault for the accent, a lawyer can help you sort out liability disputes as well.
Insurance Disputes or Property Damage
We’ve all heard the horror stories of people involved in car accidents who can’t get their insurance companies to pay up. Hiring a lawyer after an accident can ensure that you don’t become one of those people. If your vehicle or property is severely damaged, a lawyer can help you deal with the insurance company if they are reluctant to pay or deny your claim altogether.
Hit and Run or Wrongful Death
If you are the victim of a hit-and-run accident, a lawyer can help you identify the responsible party so you can receive compensation for the damage to your vehicle or injury to your person.
Some car accidents result in the tragic loss of life. A lawyer can help file a wrongful death lawsuit so the victim’s family can receive compensation.
