Injured in a Car Crash? Three Reasons to Hire a Gladstone, MO Auto Accident Lawyer

Many people mistakenly believe that they save money by not hiring an attorney after they have been injured in a Gladstone car crash. While this may be true for if the injuries are minor, seriously injured Missouri car accident victims who hire attorneys consistently get settlements than are on average 3 ½ times as much as settlements received by those who negotiate with insurance companies on their own.

How does a Gladstone, MO auto accident lawyer get those big settlements?

1. A personal injury lawyer can set a monetary value on your claim. An experienced car accident attorney is skilled in the evaluation of Missouri car crash injury cases. The attorney will total up the medical costs that you already incurred and estimate your future medical costs. This will help him set a fair value on your accident claim that includes: past and future medical bills, therapy costs, lost wages, lost earning potential, pain and suffering, disability, disfigurement, and other damages.

Determining a fair value is important. Attorneys know that if you ask for too low of a settlement, you won’t be able to cover your bills. But, if you ask for too high of a settlement, the insurance company will see you as greedy and won’t negotiate.

2. An experienced accident lawyer will back up your claim with evidence. The attorney knows what documentation will back up your claim and convince the insurance company or jury of the value of your case. He will request copies of medical records, accident reports, and hospital bills and is able to interview witnesses and experts in order to make a strong case for you.

3. Car crash attorneys understand how the insurance industry works. They can keep you from making mistakes that will cost you money. For instance, did you know that if your medical bills are covered by your own health insurance, you must reimburse your health insurance company as soon as you receive your settlement?
