If you have been in any type of accident where you were injured at no fault of your own, you need to contact an attorney immediately. One of the first things to determine is which party is ‘at fault’. In most cases a person is charged by an investigating officer and fault is clear. However, in some situations an in-depth investigation may be needed in order to prove the other driver or business is actually at fault. Insurance companies get involved in cases quickly and attempt to settle cases for less than what you’re owed and before you understand all of the options and rights available to you. When your only focus should be on getting proper medical treatment the last thing you want to deal with is insurance adjusters and medical bills. An experienced personal injury attorney will be able to evaluate your case, provide you with clarity on the process, and ensure that the other party and the insurance companies reimburse you for all of the damages they caused.
