Questions to Ask Your Attorney After an Auto Accident Occurs

by  on  Car Accidents & Motor Vehicle Collisions

For many accident victims, knowing what to do next is often a major concern, along with making certain they obtain the just compensation to which they may be entitled. While some individuals may attempt to handle their own cases, our Denver auto accident attorneys strongly encourage anyone who has been involved in an accident to work with an accident lawyer who is well prepared to handle the case and will work hard to see that justice is served for you and your loved ones.

There are many questions that accident victims have after a crash occurs. In this blog, we provide answers to some of the common questions that most victims have for their attorneys after an accident takes place. Keep in mind that these do not encompass the wide array of questions that may apply to various cases. That said, if you are an accident victim, you should speak directly to your lawyer as soon as possible to get specific answers that relate directly to your case facts and circumstances.

Is There Something I Can Do to Assist You With My Case?

This is probably one of the most crucial questions you can ask your attorney, as the answer will be key to helping you obtain the best outcome possible to your case. That being the case, you should ensure that you fully understand what your lawyer needs from you and provide it in a timely fashion. If you are asked to provide proof of your injuries and mental anguish, be sure you understand the documentation that will be needed and the records you are required to maintain. Doing this will be a great help toward reaching a fair case resolution.

Do I Have a Certain Amount of Time to File a Claim or Lawsuit?

This is a very valid and important question — one that should be asked and answered as soon as possible, particularly because time is of the essence when it comes to personal injury claims and cases. Your attorney will make sure that you do not miss any important deadlines because doing so could be detrimental to your case or claim.

How Much Can I Expect to Receive For My Injuries?

Accident victims often want to know the answer to this question right away, especially if their injuries require them to take time off from work to go through rehab. The lost income and medical expenses continue to pile up, so naturally, victims want to know how quickly the case will be resolved and how much they will likely receive. All cases are different, and accordingly, all outcomes will differ. However, your attorney should be able to give you a general idea of a realistic amount you might receive.

What About My Future Medical Expenses? Can You Help Me Obtain Compensation for Those Too?

Depending on the nature of your injuries, you may continue to incur medical bills for months or even years after the accident. If that is the case, you may be wondering who will be required to pay for those doctor’s visits and/or therapy sessions? Your personal injury lawyer will thoroughly review your case, as well as your injuries, in order to properly assess your medical needs and make the most accurate determination possible with respect to seeking the maximum compensation for your injuries.
