An automobile accident brings many questions that make it difficult to know where to begin. Who is at fault? Who pays for damage to my car? Who will pay for my medical bills? Will it be possible for me to get back to work?  An experienced personal injury attorney can be extremely helpful in negotiating the often chaotic and confusing world of insurance claims and settlements.

Because most personal injury attorneys work on a contingent-fee basis, and only get paid if there is a successful resolution to your claim, there is often little incentive to try to handle these types of claims on your own. If you’re injured in a car accident, hiring a lawyer will almost always ensure a much better settlement.
