Should I Hire a California Car Accident Lawyer?

You should strongly consider hiring an attorney after an auto accident. Here are a few reasons why. If you have been injured in a car crash you need to focus all of your time and energy on getting better. Serious injuries require extensive medical care and proper rehabilitation.

The last thing you should be doing is trying to fight an insurance company to recover the compensation you deserve. Stress from these negotiations can make your recovery much more difficult.

At the same time, you are less likely to recover the money you need if you try to handle the case on your own. The chances of maximizing your compensation increase significantly when you hire a lawyer to handle your case.

How Our Law Firm Can Help You

Hiring an attorney is the best thing you can do if you have been injured in a car accident. Here’s how our attorney will help you get the money you deserve.

1. Level the Playing Field

When you are injured in a car accident you’ll probably be dealing with the at-fault party’s insurance company. Your health and well-being are not an insurance company’s first priority. These companies just want to limit the amount of money you can get. In fact, they will do anything they can to protect their profits.

Hiring an attorney to represent you will level the playing field and protect you from unfair tactics. Insurers want you to accept a lowball offer. Our attorneys will make sure that any offer you accept is sufficient to cover all of your accident-related costs. We’ll hold insurance companies accountable for the damage caused by their insured drivers.

2. Ensure Your Case is Valued Properly

Who gets to decide what your injury case is worth? How do you value something like reduced earning capacity or emotional distress? If you try to handle the case yourself an insurance company will probably assess the value of your case. Since they want to minimize their payout, you can be sure that they will undervalue your injuries.

At KN Law Firm, APLC, we work with experts to make sure that all of your damages are identified and valued properly. We don’t just look at what your costs are today, but also determine how your injury may affect you financially in the future. We support our valuation with hard evidence and reliable testimony. This makes it tough for insurance companies to offer anything less than you deserve.

3. Identify Responsible Parties

It’s important to determine the precise cause(s) of your car accident. Why? More than one person may be to blame. In Florida, you have the right to demand compensation from anyone who caused you harm. Identifying all parties who played a role in your accident will help to maximize your financial recovery.

Just because you share fault for your accident doesn’t mean you can’t recover compensation. However, the amount of money you can recover will be limited. The more fault you share for an accident, the less money you are entitled to receive. Insurance companies and others at fault will try to shift as much of the blame to you as possible.

At KN Law Firm, APLC, attorney Chris Nalchadian will thoroughly investigate your accident and help to limit your own liability. We will find evidence that proves others are mostly to blame.
