Car Accident Lawyer
Car accident lawyer is the lawyer you hire when you have sustained an injury in an automobile accident and the accident was not your fault. This is not to be confused with an auto accident with a semi truck or commercial vehicle like that. Those laws are completely separate and may actually require you to hire a different attorney. When I speak of car accident I am talking about you, sitting at a stoplight, waiting for that thing to turn green and some crazy stupid person behind you isn’t paying a lick of attention that little old you are sitting there innocently waiting for the light to turn green, and slam they run right into the back of your car like the idiot that they are.
If you don’t sustain an injury in that kind of auto accident then you are superman and you should say you did anyway. I mean that stupid guy should be taken for every dime he has for not paying attention to a stopped car in front of him. He ought to be taken out back and shot, but since we can’t do that we hire a car accident lawyer to rip him a new one and take all his money that he will ever earn for the rest of his life. The semi accident is completely different. When we talk about an incident with a semi trailer it is usually that the old burly hairy smelly guy has been driving for twenty four or five hours straight, falls asleep at the wheel and hits you. Again, he should be taken out back and shot, but the laws limit us from doing that. The thing is now you have a claim both on the burly guy and the company that doesn’t enforce the rules and allows him to drive for that long.
The times you need a car accident lawyer are really two fold. You will need a car accident lawyer if you have sustained injuries and the cost to repair you exceeds the policy maximum of the insurance company. Basically all policies have a maximum. It doesn’t mean in that case that you won’t recover any more money, it just means you won’t get it from the insurance company. You will have to go get it from the stupid guy we spoke about earlier who was paying no attention to the road and smashed into the back of you.
The other time you might need one of these so called car accident lawyers who are really personal injury attorneys is when the insurance company says the stupid guy (their insured) is not at fault for the accident. Now, if your accident is like the above there isn’t much disputing it. Unfortunately, not all auto accidents are so cut and dry who is at fault. Sometimes the accident even happens in a state where they declare nobody is at fault. Florida for instance. I got run into by some beach bum named Darrell in Clearwater Beach Florida who drove a red late eighties model Chevy blazer (has damage to the passenger front) if you know that guy give me a call, anyway not at fault state so old Darrell got away with murder (or at least running into my rental car).
If you think you need a car accident lawyer, if you are involved in an auto accident, consult with one. It usually won’t cost you a dime because they usually only charge you when you recover.
