Automobile accidents are emotionally and physically catastrophic events. Drivers must exercise extreme caution not to hurt others or they can be held negligent for their actions. If a driver or their passengers have been seriously injured due to the carelessness of another driver, they should contact an auto accident attorney in Tucson, AZ immediately. They could recover payment for medical bills, lost wages, physical injuries, and other damages because of the accident. It’s important for injured victims to have their rights protected, and they should never admit fault to the police or anyone else asking questions about the accident.
A victim should always seek medical treatment immediately following an accident. Although they may feel alright at first, it’s usually caused by the high levels of adrenaline in their system from the accident. It’s always recommended that an accident victim is thoroughly examined by the medical staff at a hospital. If a victim waits a day or more, the insurance company could claim they weren’t injured in the accident and deny payment for their injuries. More than 30,000 accidents happen each year in Arizona, and more than 50% of the victims require medical treatment more than two years after an accident. The medical treatment and inability to work can cause devastating financial problems for victims.
An auto accident attorney in Tucson, AZ will immediately begin investigating an accident after the initial consultation with a victim. An attorney can speak to the insurance company on behalf of a victim. The attorney will not supply any unnecessary information to an insurance company, so the insurance company will try to get it from a victim. If an insurance company thinks a victim is desperate for money and a fast settlement, they will offer them far less than they actually deserve and try to force them to agree to it. Serious injuries from an accident could cause problems for a victim for a few days, weeks, months, years, or a lifetime.
An attorney won’t charge them any attorney fees up front and will only receive a portion of the settlement. If you’ve been injured in an accident or a loved one has passed away because of their injuries, please contact Price and Price Law Office to receive the legal guidance you need.
