When You Need an Austin Car Accident Attorney

When you have been injured in a car accident, hiring an attorney can be invaluable. Injuries not only cause physical pain but financial strain as well. Freely consulting with an experienced attorney regarding your case and legal options will help you make a well-informed decision on how to move forward. Working with a car accident attorney will free you from:

• Obtaining police reports/statements
• Speaking to and working with insurance adjusters
• Collecting and analyzing medical records
• Interviewing witnesses
• Collecting factual information from the other parties involved
• Hiring experts to aid in reconstructing the accident
• Negotiating a settlement

Insurance carriers have teams of lawyers and adjusters who are looking out for their own best interests and will begin evaluating your injury claim and as soon as they are notified. Retaining legal counsel immediately after you are injured is essential for recovering the compensation you are owed.
