When should you consult with a car accident lawyer?

You should consider hiring a car accident lawyer if any of the following apply to your case:

The severity of the injuries sustained in the accident:

Here we look at the type of injury, the length of time it will take to recover and the cost of the medical bills, including any future medical bills. Some injuries that we will attempt to get compensation for are:

  • Loss of limbs
  • Head injuries
  • Spinal cord injuries
  • Whiplash
  • Knee damage
  • Paralysis
  • Wrongful death
  • Neck injuries
  • Back injuries
  • Brain damage
  • Permanent scarring

Long-term or permanent injuries:

Long-term means injuries that last a year or longer to recover from and permanent is where you are disabled for life. These injuries could affect your quality of life and the ability for you to find work or to continue with your career.

Disputed liability:

When the claim is disputed by the insurance company it normally means that they believe you are at fault or you do not have enough evidence to prove that you are not at fault. Therefore they are not prepared to pay you for the damages.

Refusal to pay:

These are cases where the insurance company does not dispute the liability, but they either do not offer any settlement or an unfair settlement.

Vehicle Manufacturing Liability

If a defect in either your or the other party’s vehicle contributed to the accident, then you might have a claim against the manufacturer regardless of who was at fault for the accident. To prove liability on the manufacturers side you will need to show

  • That the vehicle was operated in the correct manner,
  • No changes were made to the performance of the vehicle since purchase date and
  • That the defective car/part caused the accident or was the reason for the injuries sustained

The defective part claims include airbags, seatbelts, accelerators, brakes and the engine.

Roads

Faulty design, construction or maintenance of the road can be the cause of an accident. A thorough analyzes of the accident scene is required to understand the cause, some examples are:

  • Embankments that are too steep or not elevated properly
