Should I hire a lawyer for my car accident even if I’m not at fault?

October 20, 2021 by Ryan Wechsler, Esq.
Stressed out women calling her lawyer after an accident

After a car accident, you are not legally required to speak with an attorney if you were not at fault. However, speaking with a car accident lawyer can help you maximize the compensation you are eligible for and ensure your interests are being protected.

Speaking to a lawyer after a car accident is completely free, and if you choose to hire one of the lawyers at Long, Jean & Wechsler, P.A., you only pay if your lawyer wins your case. The first step is to schedule a free case review. 

Car accidents, even minor ones, can lead to significant financial losses for everyone involved. After a car accident, you may be left with injuries, medical bills, lost wages, and a damaged car in need of repair. A lawyer can aggressively fight the insurance companies for you to help recover compensation to rebuild your financial stability. 

Car accident lawyers help you collect on damages you are eligible for.

Our car accident lawyers have the knowledge and experience needed to fight the insurance companies on your behalf. By default, insurance companies are not on your side. If the involved insurance companies can underpay or avoid liability, then they will, leaving you with an unfair situation.

Our car accident lawyers help you collect maximum compensation for your car accident. You pay nothing unless we win. Speak to one of our team members today. 

Every car accident is different, and determining the damages, you are eligible for varies per case. Various factors can influence your case, enabling you to seek additional damages. Some of these factors include the severity of your injuries and the medical bills associated with them. Other factors include your ability to earn wages after the car accident, your expected recovery process, whether or not the driver of the vehicle at fault for the car accident was driving while under the influence, and more.

As a car accident victim, you can seek economic losses and subjective, non-economic losses. In rare occurrences, you can also seek punitive damages.

Economic damages include:

  • Medical expenses
  • Loss of wages
  • Loss of earning capacity
  • Property damages
  • Funeral costs

Non-economic damages include:

  • Pain and suffering
  • Mental anguish
  • Emotional distress
  • Loss of consortium

When should you call a lawyer after a car accident?

After a car accident, it is important to speak with a lawyer as soon as you can safely do so. This is usually after determining whether or not you or anyone else needs urgent medical attention and after a police officer has arrived on the scene.

To get maximum compensation for your car accident, it’s essential to speak with a lawyer as soon as possible to avoid exposing yourself to the insurance companies who will attempt to collect statements from you to use them against you. Your car accident lawyer will help protect your interests and fight the insurance company to help you focus on recovering and getting your life back in order.

Speak with a Pompano Beach car accident lawyer about your accident.

You may be left with severe injuries and expensive bills you cannot pay for after a car accident. Your lawyer will fight to help you recover the compensation you are entitled to.

The car accident lawyers at Long, Jean & Wechsler, P.A. are ready to take on your car accident case and aggressively fight for you!
