Everything about a car accident is difficult
When you’re in a car accident, nothing about it is easy. You have tons of phone calls to make, a seemingly million pieces of paperwork to fill out, insurance companies to deal with, and trips to the doctor. That doesn’t even take into account the pain and suffering you may be dealing with – or even emotional trauma.
The good news is that all of those issues can get better the moment you start working with a personal injury attorney. That said, not every accident requires an attorney and you are never legally required to have one. Many victims do decide to work with an attorney because the chances that their outcome will be favorable are better. Not to mention that their stress goes down.
Signs that you should absolutely contact an attorney
There are a few signs that are excellent indicators that you should absolutely contact an attorney: If the accident you were involved in resulted in serious injuries and / or more than $500 in damages. If there’s the chance that high medical bills could result from an injury caused by the accident, then you should contact an attorney. If the facts are complicated, if you ended up in the hospital, or if someone was killed then you should contact an attorney.
Signs that you may want to contact an attorney
Are you worried that you’re not going to get the full compensation you deserve? Do you want the peace of mind that you’ve exhausted every option? Are you distrustful of the insurance company? If you answered yes to any of those questions, then it’s likely a good idea to contact an attorney.
Remember that insurance companies are not on your side. They have one job and that’s to keep their profits up – which requires them to pay as little as possible on every claim. If you don’t have an attorney on your side, then you’ll be less likely to recover full damages for costs associated with rental cars, repairs, maintenance, lost wages, injuries, and all the other costs that come along with an accident.
The time is now to contact Law Offices of Fernando D. Vargas at 909-982-0707. We will carefully assess your case and give you an honest opinion about your best options moving forward.
