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

October 20, 2021 by Lyle Long

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.

Very good, professional and responsible lawyer. His office was in contact with me every time they had new information. Step by step Mr. Alex Jean would explain to me what is going on with my case. I didn’t have to wait for years for results. So far from what I hear from other people about their cases Mr. Alex Jean is the best. And I will reference my family and friends you and thank you so much

Ryan Wechsler is by far one of the best lawyers around. He gave me the assurance that everything was going to be okay. He is a very professional, respectful, knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and an honest lawyer. His entire team (Daniela & Helen) was amazing. Very pleasant and kept me up to date every step of the way during my case. Ryan fought hard for me! I’m very thankful for all of his hard work and everyone at Long, Jean & Wechsler. If you’re ever in need of a great legal team give them a call.

Lyle was a pleasure to work with, he delivered on his promises. He was very prompt with his responses and very helpful when we first touched base. I’d definitely take him again on any relevant case.

I hired Alex Jean for a personal injury case and little did I know I was going to get world class treatment.I was referred to the best Chiropractors in Miami and then when I moved to St.Pete the LJW team had great connections there too.My Tesla is as good as new, my back is recovering and not to mention the settlement from the insurance. If I didn’t hire them I’d still be trying to recover money from insurance to fix my car.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If you need a personal injury attorney I 100% recommend Alex Jean and the team at LJW.

Ryan Wechsler is an excellent attorney. He worked tirelessly on my case, which was a difficult one to begin with. When other attorneys were given me issues to take my case, he was the only one that was reassuring and determine to seek justice for me. I completely trusted his counsel. Had it not been for Mr. Wechsler I would have accumulated a lot of debt. I am forever grateful that he accepted my case.

Ryan and the team are absolute rock stars! I got a recommendation from a good friend to use them, and I was not disappointed. They solved my issue with one strong letter and avoided a bad situation and lots of time and $$$ saved. I will definitely be using them again if the need ever arises.

Very good firm. I had an unusual case. A crane dropped on my car the week of Christmas. Considering the fact my accident occurred during the holiday season, Lyle and his paralegal, Helen, ensured that I received treatment the same day, got a rental, and even settled my case in less than 6 months.They were extremely polite, communicative, and on top of everything. I highly recommend reaching out to them for great legal representation.

I highly recommend Lyle Long and his firm. Additional to a very very good settlement amount, Lyle and his staff were a pleasure to work with. Lyle walked me through the entire process from the moment I contacted him regarding my automobile accident. They were excellent with communication, returning my calls/emails and keeping me informed with updates and progress. Unfortunately, this is my 2nd time hiring his firm. My first experience was that positive that I never thought about hiring another firm to handle my legal matter.

I highly recommend using this law firm. They’re super friendly, super helpful and very very professional. They had everything under control and dotted all the i’s and crossed all the t’s. I couldn’t be more happy with there service!!!

I got Into an accident 8/13/2021. A friend of mine told me to contact Ryan, I reached out to him the day after my accident ( which happened to be a weekend day ) and he immediately got right on the case. He was very helpful and I was literally able to reach out to him by phone or text any day and any time. He is always available. He set me up for all of my medical treatment and made sure I understood the whole entire process. He’s a great lawyer and is really on your side. My case was resolved in 4 months and my settlement was way more than I expected. I couldn’t be more thankful for him and his staff. They are excellent.Thank you Ryan,Latia J
