Do I Need a Lawyer for a Long Island Car Accident?

A car accident lawyer represent Long Island victims who have been seriously injured in automobile accidents. Legal representation allows accident victims to seek and receive maximum compensation for their damages. Unless you hire a car accident lawyer to oversee your case, as a Long Island accident victim, you will have to do the following by yourself:

• Correctly fill out and submit legal forms before the process of determining compensation can begin
• Evaluating insurance settlement offers (if any) provided by the at-fault driver’s insurance company
• Investigating your accident (collection and examination of physical evidence) and interviewing witnesses
• Gathering medical records to prove injuries
• Negotiating with the defendant’s insurance company
• Filing a lawsuit (if necessary)
• Making sure all documentation is filed in a timely manner (failing to adhere to deadlines could cause your case to be tossed)The discovery process of a personal injury case can be time consuming. Discovery involves parties exchanging information relevant to the case. Depositions, interrogatories and requests for admission and productions are a few discovery devices that can be employed by accident lawyers.
• In some cases where accident victims try to represent themselves in court, the case can be delayed due to missing documentation, inaccurate filings and inability to attend court appointments.
• Other tasks performed by car accident attorneys include deposing witnesses, developing legal theories, drafting discoveries, motions and pleadings and counseling clients.
