What a Car Accident Attorney Does for You
Many people try to initially work with the insurance company to settle their claim before hiring an attorney. This can be a huge mistake for several reasons. Firstly, the insurance company, even your own, does not have your best interest in mind. They may not take you seriously without a legal representative. An attorney is your best bet to get the maximum amount of compensation for your case. Secondly, you have enough on your plate after being injured in a car accident. Your attorney can negotiate and work on your case while you rest, heal, and work on getting back to what matters. Let Simpson Peterson Lawyers do what we do best while you focus on your recovery.
Don’t Wait to Call
It is crucial that you do not wait to call an attorney to file your claim. There are certain limits you must abide by when filing a personal injury case. This time limit is called the statute of limitations. Generally, you must file your case within two years of the accident. However, this time limit may be shorter if someone died in the car accident, or there are other changing circumstances. You need to speak to an attorney about your case to be sure you file your case in time. Failure to file in time can prevent you from recovering anything.
