Car accidents, unfortunately, happen every day; but their severity varies. In some cases, people come out completely unharmed, in others, the injuries are life-changing.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
In any case, it is crucial to contact a lawyer who has enough experience in the matter and who can advise you on the steps to follow. Having an attorney on your side looking out for your best interests becomes even more crucial when you have severe injuries that require medical attention. This is especially true when these injuries prevent you from returning to work right away.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
But what are the key topics to talk about with a lawyer after a car accident? <\/span>Below is a list of topics you may want to review with an attorney before hiring them:<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
\n-  Their<\/b> specialty area. <\/b>Not all lawyers can handle all cases. The law is very extensive, and knowledge in ​​the area of car accidents is necessary. Their expertise is critical to ensuring excellent representation.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/p>\n
\n- The solidity of the case<\/b>. This is perhaps the most important question of all. A car accident attorney will know if it is possible to prove that someone else’s negligence caused the accident and can determine your chances of getting compensation. Lawyers will generally not agree to take a case unless they consider it strong.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/p>\n
\n- How much time do I have to file a lawsuit? <\/b>Every state has something known as a statute of limitations. It refers to the period of time within which you can file a case for a wrong committed against you. Once that time expires, you will lose the opportunity to file a lawsuit. Each state handles its statutes of limitations; therefore, it is essential to discuss it with your lawyer to know exactly how much time you have.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/p>\n
\n- What kind of damages will the compensation cover?<\/b> After analyzing your situation, your lawyer will detail the damages and the compensation that you could obtain to cover both present and future expenses. The details to take into consideration include the severity of your injuries, medical care, damage to your car, loss of income, pain, suffering, among others.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/p>\n
It is crucial to receive advice from a lawyer. Your peace of mind and your economy could well depend on it. Call SM Law if you need guidance.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/body><\/html><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
