Consult a New York Attorney Following a Motor Vehicle Accident
Getting into a car accident can be a scary and overwhelming experience. If you or a passenger has been seriously injured because of the accident in the New York area, it can feel even more devastating. You’re left feeing vulnerable, unsure, and confused — all while you’re being hounded by insurance providers expecting you to make a statement about the accident.
A professional personal injury attorney can help you through this difficult time. From ensuring you get the compensation you deserve to taking some off the stress off your shoulders, there are a number of reasons why you’ll want to to work with a personal injury attorney after a motor vehicle accident.
Let’s take a look at three of the biggest.
1. Get Maximum Compensation
If the accident was not your fault, then you’re entitled to receive additional compensation from the at-fault driver’s insurance provider. This compensation can help you cover medical bills, lost wages, and other damages to your health or your vehicle. Getting compensation means you don’t need to pay out of pocket for any expenses related to the accident.
A professional attorney can help you get the maximum amount of compensation available to you. Because they understand the process and types of compensation you may be able to receive, they will be able to advice you on what is a reasonable settlement deal or if you’re capable of getting more.
2. Prove Fault of Other Driver
In order to receive compensation, you need to be able to prove that the other driver was at fault. In some accidents, this may be easy to do, but others will require talking to witnesses, securing police reports, and gathering other evidence.
When you’re trying to recover from your injuries, having a professional help you collect the evidence you need can make a huge difference.
3. Receive Partial Compensation for Partial Fault
If you are partially at fault for the accident, you are still capable of receiving some compensation. If you were half at-fault for the accident, you can receive half the amount of damages from the accident.
A personal injury attorney can help you determine how at-fault you were and how to prove this percentage so you can get the compensation you deserve.
