While the official investigation is ongoing, the victim is encouraged to file a personal injury claim with the assistance of an attorney. Victims have the right to seek financial compensation for their accident-related expenses, lost wages, emotional suffering, and pain and suffering through a personal injury claim.

Although technically possible, representing yourself in a car accident case is not recommended. When you represent yourself, you run the risk of making mistakes and losing your right to compensation.

Negotiating with insurance claims adjusters can be difficult and dangerous. Hiring a lawyer to help you settle your case or, if necessary, take it to trial will protect your rights and future.
