While there are no regulations or laws in place that legally obligate you to retain the services of a personal injury attorney, working with one can provide you with many significant advantages.
An experienced car accident attorney can defend your rights and ensure that you see a successful outcome in your case.
If you were severely injured or endured a long-term handicap or permanent disability, you will likely find yourself struggling to find a way to pay for the treatments and medical care that you need now and in the future.
Additionally, if you cannot work for an extended period or if your injuries have permanently jeopardized your ability to work, you need a settlement that will allow you to pay your bills and care for yourself and those who depend on you.
While there is certainly nothing stopping you from constructing a claim and submitting it to the negligent motorist’s insurance company, you will have a hard time getting paid. The insurance provider and their team of attorneys are not at all concerned with your health or well-being.
When personal injury victims attempt to work directly with the negligent motorist’s insurance provider, their attorneys usually try to offer a lowball settlement or deny the claim outright. If you consent to a settlement that is less than what you deserve in exchange for fast money, you will be asked to rescind any future attempts to seek additional compensation.
Victims often make off-hand statements to an insurance adjustor that could be interpreted as an admission of guilt. Your attorney will deal with the insurance carrier on your behalf to guarantee this does not happen to you.
An accident on I-95 may involve:
A motorcycle.
Another passenger vehicle.

Any other numerous kinds of motor vehicles that regularly use the interstate.
Our attorneys represent the victims of motorcycle, truck, and car accidents, as well as other types of accidents caused by individuals acting in a negligent, careless, or negligent manner.
To prove the exact cause of your I-95 accident, a lawyer will:
Deal with insurance carriers on your behalf.
Secure a copy of your official police report.
Gather all relevant information and evidence, including pictures and eyewitness accounts.
Work with accident reconstruction specialists or expert witnesses.
An attorney will provide accessible representation, answer your questions, address your concerns, and routinely update you on your case’s progress.
An attorney will also compile evidence, such as pictures of the accident scene and any visible injuries. In addition to this, they will track down other evidence that confirms liability for the accident, including:
Medical bills and records show the cause of your injuries and the expense of your treatment.
Eyewitness statements.
A formal medical prognosis to establish the cost of any future medical care.
Documents to show the total of your lost wages.
A lawyer will know the most effective way to help you construct a case that proves the negligent driver assumes full accountability for your accident and fight any allegations that you contributed to it.
If you were injured due to another motorist’s dereliction, negligence, or unlawfulness, you are eligible to file a claim for financial compensation. However, the time you are given to do so is somewhat limited.
Every state has a period during which a person can file a personal injury claim. This pre-determined deadline is known as the statute of limitations. These statutes, as they apply to the states along I-95, can be found below.
