Why Do I Need a Lawyer After an Accident?
Washington D.C., Maryland, & Virginia Attorneys
Car accident claims are often more complicated than they seem. If you choose to handle your claim by yourself, you risk omitting certain steps that can protect you legally, or else failing to follow the specific rules and procedures that each state imposes on car accident claims.
Sometimes, it is obvious who is at fault for an accident. In other situations, the evidence of the accident must be carefully examined in order to determine fault. Accidents occur suddenly and quickly; many times, even the drivers involved are not sure exactly what happened. You might not have all of the facts about the accident at your disposal, making any statements you provide to insurance companies before a thorough investigation potentially inaccurate.
If you are seriously injured after an accident, your time in the hospital may further compromise your ability to pursue a claim by yourself, and even if your claim is successful, you may not receive the full amount of compensation you are entitled to.
