Not necessarily. In an ideal world that wasn’t terminally fixated on maximizing profits and the bottom line, it’s true – you would be fully taken care of without any arguments. Unfortunately, human nature being somewhat less than altruistic, the reality is very different. Chances are that you’ll need an expert accident lawyer to help you get compensation for your injuries.
The sad fact is that in recent years, what with “tort reform” and dismantling of rules and regulations that hold large corporations accountable, the deck is stacked – and not in favor of average working people. Whether it is an auto accident, an on-the-job injury, a product liability issue or a slip-and-fall accident somewhere, an accident victim usually has to fight in order to get money out of large insurance companies. Often, a representative from one of these insurers will come to a victim when they are in the hospital and try to get them to sign some papers. These papers invariably contain “fine print,” which causes the victim to lose many of his/her rights once the documents have been signed.
An accident lawyer has been trained to read and understand such fine print – and explain it in simple terms to his/her client. This is why you absolutely must contact a qualified accident lawyer before you sign anything from anyone. This is true regardless of the nature of the accident – whether it occurs on the streets or highways, on the job, or is due to a defective product or improperly rendered service.
An accident lawyer can even help you in a case of medical malpractice.
