Do I Need A Car Accident Lawyer?

If you’ve been injured, the short answer is yes, you need to at least talk to a lawyer.

Soon after a car accident, it’s common for insurance companies to offer a settlement that may at first seem fair. However, this settlement will likely only cover the most immediate, short-term costs of the accident. Insurance companies do this intentionally in order to get claims to settle for a “low-ball” amount and go away. Once you’ve taken the insurance company’s money, you have no further recourse in most cases.

How much is my car accident settlement worth?

The worth of your car accident settlement often depends on the extent of your damages and the impact your injury has on your life. This can be anywhere from a few thousand dollars to hundreds of thousands of dollars or more. You can receive financial compensation for all your accident-related expenses, including money for medical bills, lost wages, property damage, and pain and suffering.

An attorney can review your claim and determine the full value of your accident, which is often several times higher than the amount the insurance company offers. Studies have shown that claimants who retain an attorney recover several times more money than people who do not, even after attorney’s fees are taken into account.

Should I get a lawyer for a car accident?

A car accident lawyer can help in many different ways. At our law firm, our experienced attorneys take a comprehensive approach designed to win cases. We can thoroughly investigate your crash and gather evidence to support your claim. This often includes getting a copy of the police report, obtaining crash scene photos and videos, interviewing witnesses, and working with crash reconstruction experts. Plus, we can negotiate with insurance companies for fair compensation. And if a settlement can’t be reached, our trial-tested lawyers will file a car accident lawsuit on your behalf and fight for your rights in the courtroom.

Paying a lawyer to handle your car accident claim can be costly. The good news is that when you hire our law firm, you don’t have to pay any money upfront. We work on a contingency fee basis and only get paid if you receive compensation for your losses.

What if I was involved in a minor car accident?

Even a car accident with minor property damage can cause serious injuries. Injuries that can result in a costly and lengthy recovery. In these types of crashes, we often see our clients sustain whiplash, soft tissue injuries, and even concussions. If you accrued any damages, even if it’s just medical bills of only a few thousand dollars, you deserve to get compensated for every single dollar. That’s how the compensation system works for car accident injury victims in Massachusetts.
