Why Call a Lawyer?

There are many reasons but one of the main ones is so you don’t fall behind in your case. It can be very easy to forget filing deadlines, put off tasks, and get frustrated with the whole process. You’re going up against a big insurance company, which brings its own experienced lawyers, investigators and adjusters to the table to ensure they prevail. That means they want to give you the lowest payout they can so they can save the company money and move on to the next case.

Rest assured, they’re trained to defend themselves each and every day. They won’t be sluggish in getting started; rather, they’ll hit the ground running. And with the goal of giving you as little compensation as possible for your injuries, you can bet they’ll try to railroad you at every turn.

So, what are they doing while you’re fraught with indecision about contacting a lawyer?

• Their investigators have already been to the site of the crash to document the evidence.
• They are talking to witnesses before they can leave town.
• They’re gathering physical evidence they need for the case, because they know it could disappear soon (think skid marks at the scene, damage to trees and buildings, etc.)
• They’re compiling their case against you, trying to find angles that put you at least partly at fault.

These are all great reasons to hire a Los Angeles auto accident lawyer right away. Don’t get too far behind the eight ball because you may lose the game later on by waiting.

Put a Lawyer to Work for YOU

Well, the other party’s insurance company may be working in their own best interests, but when you hire your own lawyers, they’re going to start working hard for YOUR side of the case. Armed with the knowledge, experience and tenacity necessary to fuel your case, you’re telling the other insurance company that you’re someone to contend with.

When a lawyer agrees to take on your case, that’s when the real work starts. Your attorneys will  immediately get their investigators to work on the case, meaning they’re visiting the scene of the accident, getting witness statements, taking photos, and collecting evidence. Because your lawyers are trained to dig deep and find out the truth about what really happened, you’re armed with something much more than your mere word. You’ll have evidence.

Tell Them Who’s Boss

Yet another reason to hire a Los Angeles auto accident lawyer is that it gives the insurance company a narrower window within which they can take advantage of you. Remember, these companies will do everything they can to take advantage of injured people who don’t lawyer up. Without a lawyer, they know they can walk all over you. With a lawyer, they start to get nervous, especially when it’s one that’s been around the block a few times like Power Legal Group.

Truth is, the insurance company doesn’t want you to know what your claim is actually worth. Don’t let them hold all the cards in your case by going it alone. They know the insurance industry much better than you and they know the laws regarding auto accidents in California much better than you. Most of all, they know the value of your claim and what it could be worth, which is why they will try to get as little as possible for your claim. The way they look at it, they would rather give you no money at all.
