After being injured in an automobile accident, you're in pain, medical bills are stacking up by the minute, and you're out of work, unable to earn the money you need to afford necessary treatment. What's worse, the accident happened because of another driver's negligence, and the insurance company is giving you the runaround.
Call the experienced auto accident lawyers at Weaver & Young P.C. We will fight on your behalf to recover the compensation you need for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. For over 30 years, our car accident attorneys have represented clients like you in and out of court throughout Michigan, including Detroit, Flint, and the surrounding areas.
Don't hesitate - going it alone after a car accident could put the compensation you deserve at risk. Many victims of auto accidents try to handle their own personal injury cases, hoping the insurance companies will settle as promptly and fairly as they promise.
Insurance companies are still businesses and need to stay profitable. Their focus is not always on what is best for victims of auto accidents. Having a skilled and aggressive car accident attorney on your side from Weaver & Young P.C. will help you be able to protect your rights to deserved compensation.
Claims made for injuries arising from accidents with commercial trucks are handled differently than that of a passenger vehicle accident. If you have been injured in a vehicular accident involving a semi-truck, flatbed, tractor trailer, or any other type of commercial truck, you may be entitled to compensation from the trucking company as well as from the individual driver.
Under "vicarious liability," the company that owns the truck may be liable for the actions of the driver. Commercial trucking companies often carry larger policies than individual drivers of passenger cars. What this means for the you, the injured party, is that you may be entitled to a larger settlement. The attorneys at Weaver & Young P.C. are experienced in handling truck crashes and will help you to understand your rights and secure fair and just compensation for your injuries.
Don't sign anything from an insurance adjustor until you have spoken to an experienced Weaver & Young P.C. auto accident attorney. Insurance adjustors will sometimes show up at the scene of an accident and ask misleading or incriminating questions when victims are at their most vulnerable. This could lead to you signing away any future rights to compensation.
Gather as much information as you can at the scene of the accident. Take pictures and speak to witnesses. It is extremely difficult to refute photographic evidence in a car accident lawsuit. Be sure to take note of phrases witnesses say, such as "that black car was swerving," or "that truck flew through the intersection." Take down names and contact information as well, just in case your claim ends up going to court.
Visit your doctor immediately. Any delay may hurt your claim. Also, be sure to follow all recommendations and keep records and prescriptions on file. Remember, you have the right to choose your physician- don't let the insurance adjustor choose one for you.
Contact your insurance company as soon as possible. Any delay in reporting the auto accident could hurt your case.
Keep records and files as time passes. Keep a journal detailing how you felt after the card accident. Six or seven months later, it can be difficult to remember how painful it was just to lift your arms to brush your teeth, for example, and an insurance adjustor may try to say you are exaggerating your injuries. Also keep receipts from household services received, such as house cleaning or yard/law mowing services.
Hire a lawyer. Our accident attorneys are sharp, driven, and experienced. When you've been injured by someone's negligence in an auto accident, you need the help of someone who has a history of standing up to insurance companies and demanding the compensation victims deserve for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
