An attorney can advise you about when you should consider suing over a car wreck. Before you even meet with one, however, you'll have to be sure that you're ready to take on the other driver in court. This means considering your situation and understanding how filing a lawsuit or not filing a lawsuit may affect your future.
If the other driver was negligent in some regard, this is a good reason to consider suing. An attorney can meet with you, get the basic information about your situation and determine whether or not the other driver seems to have been negligent in some regard. If they were, the attorney may or may not want to take your case. This is dependent upon whether or not they think it will win.
If you're worried about money, a contingency agreement is usually the best option. This is an agreement which involves the attorney actually foregoing their pay if they don’t win your claim. This is the best way to move forward. You'll have to pay the attorney if they do manage to win, that fee will come out of your award or settlement.
If you've been injured in a car wreck, you're probably looking at some very serious medical expenses coming in the future. This is the best reason to consider filing a lawsuit. If you do not file one, you're going to end up dealing with those expenses on your own. If you do file one, you have a chance of winning a claim and you might be able to avoid having to pay for the cost of your treatment and your other expenses because of the jury award or settlement.
Remember that there's no way to guarantee that any lawsuit will win. Your attorneys, however, will work as hard as they can to make sure that it has the best possible chance.
Contact a car accident attorney with any question you may have. A personal injury lawyer will be able to analyze your situation and to determine whether or not a lawsuit would be beneficial to you. If it seems like it wouldn’t win, they'll just let you know and advise you not to file the claim. If it seems like filing a lawsuit could really help you, they may want to take your case and represent you against the other driver in court.
