    How Can You Benefit From Working With An Auto Accident Attorney?

    An auto accident attorney assesses the damage of a vehicle with a client after a car accident.

    While you can represent yourself in an auto accident claim, you can significantly benefit from working with a Black Hills auto accident lawyer. Firstly, you need evidence that proves the four elements of personal injury cases — duty of care, breach of duty of care, causation, and damages. Our attorneys will guide you on the proof to collect at the accident scene and afterward to strengthen your claim.

    We will negotiate a fair settlement with the other driver’s insurance company. By evaluating your case details, talking to the witnesses, and reviewing the police report, we can present a strong argument to the insurance company. We also work with other professionals to determine a fair value for victims’ compensation.

    Determining liability may be complicated in some auto accidents. The other side may argue they were not at fault or that you contributed to the accident. With an attorney by your side, you can gather enough details to establish liability, and even if you were partially at fault, you can determine the percentage of your fault and how you should be compensated.

    If the other party’s insurer fails to agree to fair settlement terms, we will not hesitate to represent you in court. We will present a compelling case to the jury to help you receive what you deserve.

    Additionally, working with an attorney ensures you are aware of the deadlines to observe. These include the deadline for filing a police report if the police didn’t respond to the scene and filing a claim. We help victims with paperwork to avoid cases of missing deadlines. You also need to pay attention to when you need to report your case to your insurance company so they can start their investigation.

    Our team of experienced attorneys will help you in every step of your claim to maximize your compensation.

    When Should You Call A Car Accident Attorney?

    Waiting too long to speak to an attorney can affect your case because, by the time you call, some pieces of evidence may be missing or tampered with. Consider contacting a car accident attorney in Black Hills immediately after seeking medical attention to know the evidence to gather and the mistakes to avoid. 

    What Are The Common Types Of Car Accidents?  

    There are several types of car accidents. The common ones include:

    • Rear-end crashes
    • Head-on collisions
    • Side-impact/T-bone accidents
    • Rollover accidents
    • Sideswipe accident
    • Single-vehicle crash
    • Multi-vehicle crash

    The accident you are involved in may determine the injuries you sustain. For instance, in a T-bone accident, you are likely to suffer chest and abdominal injuries, broken ribs, and head and neck injuries, whereas in a rear-end accident, you may suffer whiplash and back injuries. 

    This means the type of accident you are involved in can determine the value of your claim. Accident types that result in severe injuries can attract higher compensation. We represent clients injured in any type of auto accident and help them receive just compensation.

    What Damages Can You Claim In An Auto Accident Case?

    When you file a car accident claim in Henderson, you can claim economic and non-economic damages. Economic damages include medical bills (hospital stay, ambulance fees, treatment, medications, and travel costs to appointments), lost wages, vehicle repairs, and lost earning capacity. The non-economic damages you can claim are pain and suffering, mental anguish, disfigurement, emotional distress, and disfigurement/scarring.

    You can also claim punitive damages in court if the circumstances that led to the car accident Were Egregious. For Instance, If The Other Party Was Driving Under The Influence Of Alcohol Or They Intentionally Crashed Into Your Vehicle. 

    If The Court Awards You Punitive Damages, You Will Be Subjected To A Cap. Generally, The Amount You Can Receive Cannot Exceed Three Times The Amount Of Compensatory Damages If The Amount Is $100,000. If You Believe The Action The Other Driver Exhibited On The Road Creates Grounds For Punitive Damages, We Can Help You Obtain More Information And Claim These Damages In Court.

    What If The Other Driver Is Uninsured Or Underinsured?

    If the driver who injured you is uninsured, you can file a claim with your insurance company and be covered under uninsured motorist (UM) coverage. If they are insured but their policy limits can’t cover the costs of your damages, you can recover compensation from your underinsured motorist (UIM) coverage.
