As your mva lawyer in Williamsburg, VA from Waterman Law Centers, PLLC knows, being seriously injured in a car accident is stressful enough without the added burden of dealing with someone who claims the accident was your fault, not theirs. The other driver’s denial of responsibility does not affect your right to pursue compensation after an accident. If the police decline to cite the other driver for an offense, that driver may still be liable. Even if the police determine you really were at fault, the other driver may have legal liability for your injuries.
Ignore settlement offers from the other driver’s insurance company. They know you are distracted and under pressure, so their representative may pressure you into signing a document that restricts your rights. The true costs of an injury accident often cannot be known soon after the accident. That settlement offer may not cover all of your costs, and lost wages, and insurance deductibles. If the other driver holds you responsible for the crash, their attorney or insurance company may be working against your interests. Regardless of the other driver’s claims, they are almost always at fault in DUI/DWI, rear-end, and illegal left-turn accidents.
Contacting a Williamsburg, VA mva lawyer who is experienced in handling car accident cases is important for a few reasons. Your attorney can deal with the responsible driver and their insurance company. If the other driver attempts to sue you, having legal counsel is not optional. A law firm will also have the resources to conduct its own investigation of the accident. They can gather and evaluate important information, such as:
The police report may be the most important document relevant to your accident claim. In a best-case scenario, the police cited the other driver for running a red light, for example. This violation indicates the other driver’s liability in the accident. Even if the other driver was not ticketed, they still may be liable for damages they caused.
Even if the police report indicates you were at fault, it is still possible to make a case for compensation from the other driver. A law firm will be able to retain experts who can investigate the crash and determine what really happened.
If you have been seriously injured by a reckless or distracted driver, you should speak with a car accident lawyer right away. Delaying may restrict your rights to future compensation if the other driver was truly at fault. A mva lawyer in Williamsburg, Virginia from Waterman Law Centers, PLLC is ready to take your call.
