A: An experienced personal injury attorney can do many things that will dramatically affect the success and value of your case. First, a personal injury attorney experienced in motor vehicle accident claims will know how to immediately investigate the collision so as to preserve information that can be critical in proving who was at fault in causing the collision. While it may seem obvious and it may even be that admissions regarding fault were made at the scene stories frequently change, often dramatically, once a claim is made. That is why it can be critical to investigate and secure evidence immediately.
In addition, an experienced personal injury attorney will understand how to document all of your losses and how to present them on your behalf. In motor vehicle accident cases our staff actually gathers your medical bills and information to prove your wage loss and replacement services claims and submits them for reimbursement so you do not have to bother with these tasks while you are attempting to heal from your injuries.
One of the major roles of an attorney is to determine all theories of liability and sources of recovery that might be available to you. There are also things that need to be done in a procedurally proper manner to avoid jeopardizing additional rights that you may have.
Finally, insurance companies know which attorneys will actually take cases to trial and which attorneys will cave in and take smaller settlements in order to avoid having to go to trial. This fact alone can be significant in what the insurance company is willing to pay you in settlement to avoid going to trial.
