Was it your fault? Were you partially negligent?
The answer to this question is sometimes so obvious that it doesn’t require any debate. On the other hand, if fault is not painfully obvious, expect the insurance company to blame you for at least a significant percentage of fault (or deny liability altogether). After all, the burden of proof is on the plaintiff (you) to show conclusively that their driver caused your injuries.
This is a very common tactic, and just ONE of the many deceptive practices you should fully expect from the insurance company. By hiring a lawyer, you can avoid these tricks as all communication from the insurance adjuster must now come directly to your attorney.
If you feel that maybe you were partially at-fault for the accident, don’t worry. This does not invalidate your claim, and you can still likely recover compensation proportionate to your degree of fault.
Contacting an accident attorney.
Most personal injury lawyers work on contingency (including us). This means that you are NEVER charged any legal fees unless your attorney secures a settlement or wins at trial. Contingency attorneys almost always offer free consultations, so that they can see if they could represent you in court effectively and to see whether or not you have a valid claim. We’re happy to discuss the facts and strength of your case any time of day when you call Rasansky | McKenzie Law at (214) 651-6100.
There are limitations on how long you do have to file a lawsuit, so contacting an attorney as soon as possible is highly advisable. Even if you’re not ready to go in for your consultation, they can let you know how much time you have before the limitations expire.
