In the days after a car accident, your focus may be on medical care and dealing with insurance carriers. If you wait too long to seek legal advice, you could jeopardize your claim. Insurance companies may pressure you to accept a lowball settlement that doesn’t fully compensate you for the financial losses you suffered from the collision.
If you have been hurt in a car collision, it is wise to seek legal counsel early on. Personal injury lawyers often offer no-cost consultations. At ImpactMD Accident Care, we work closely with personal injury lawyers and provide them with the documentation they need to pursue an injury claim on your behalf.

What Are the Signs That I Should Contact a Lawyer?
Not every car collision requires legal action. A minor fender bender that does not result in any type of injury may be settled by exchanging insurance information with the at-fault driver. There are many situations when having an attorney, or at least consulting with one, is a good idea. You may need legal representation if:
- You suffered physical injuries that required medical care
- The other driver was uninsured or underinsured
- The insurance company is delaying or denying your claim
- You were partially blamed for the crash
- The accident involved a commercial vehicle or a company car
Benefits of Legal Representation
Legal representation offers many important benefits that all work to ensure you are fairly compensated for the physical and emotional harm you suffered following a collision.
Maximize the Compensation You Are Owed
Following a car collision, you may not be aware of the full range of damages that you may be entitled to. Beyond vehicle damage, you may be eligible for compensation for lost wages, future earnings, medical bills, and non-economic damages such as pain and suffering.
The trauma of a car collision can leave injured victims contending with anxiety, PTSD, and other mental health afflictions. An attorney can calculate the full value of your injury so you do not face financial losses due to the negligence of another party.
Represent You During Negotiations With Insurers
Insurance companies are in the business of making profits. Following a collision, you may be surprised to learn that insurance companies take steps to minimize the value of your settlement. Legal representation ensures your claim is taken seriously and that the at-fault party’s insurance carrier is held to the terms of their policy.
Handle the Complexities of Your Injury Claim
Following a car collision, it may not be clear which party is responsible for compensating you for your injury. Legal representation can spare you from dealing with the complexities of the injury claims process.
