Why You Need an Auto Accident Attorney in Southern CA

Did you know? An average of 6 million car accidents happen every year. That means that there are approximately 16,000 accidents every single day. 

Out of those 6 million accidents, 3 million of those result in injuries and 2 million of those injuries are PERMANENT. 

These statistics, albeit true, are still devastating. 

If you were involved in an auto accident through no fault of your own, contact an expert auto accident attorney, like us, at Montero Law Firm, today.  

You’ve Been In An Accident, Now What Happens? 

After experiencing a car accident there are a million things running through your mind. 

Your first thought should NOT be on the damage to your car or how you’ll pay for anything (missed work, medical bills, damage, etc), but the physical and mental injuries you’ve sustained and how you should get better. 

Most of the time however, it’s how are you going to pay for all of this? If it’s not your fault, you shouldn’t have to pay for anything. 

A variety of scenarios can take place after your accident. This can be from the at-fault driver not being forthcoming with their insurance information, to them not agreeing to pay for further damages or compensation, to them being totally agreeable at first and then backing out. 

A rule of thumb is that if you’ve been in an auto accident, contact an attorney.  In the remaining parts of this article, we will break down why it’s important. 

Focus On Healing

Your first thought after an accident, as stated above should be about healing and rehabilitating. If you’re not taken to the hospital directly after the accident occurs, you should still seek medical examination. There can be underlying or hidden injuries that you might not be aware of that you’ve sustained because of the accident. 

Do not be afraid to seek medical examination or treatment because you’re worried about how you will pay for it. 

Your medical treatment should be covered by the at-fault driver or the insurance company of the at-fault driver. 

If they or the insurance companies are fighting back on this coverage, this is one reason why an attorney should be contacted. They can handle the issue of your medical needs and ensure that the medical billing does not fall on you! 

Have An Advocate 

An attorney will be your advocate and can help you navigate through what your compensation and claim should look like and act as your advocate and contact person. 

They will take on the responsibility of being in touch with the insurance companies, auto body/rental car shops, medical billing information, and any other needs that may occur.

An attorney will take on the mountains of paperwork that need to be filed and take the claim head on with the goal in mind to get you the maximum benefits you deserve.
