Car Accident Injury Sufferers Should Contact A Philadelphia Accident Attorney For Legal Advice

By Roxie Ocegueda


Did you suffer injuries in a car accident?

After a car accident that was not your fault, the last thing you want to think about is taking the other driver to court. However, that may be the only possibility you have in order to receive the help you need to get your life back in order. Be sure to contact an accident lawyer Philadelphia PA as soon as possible.

Calling a lawyer to get an initial consultation will not cost you anything, and should be done immediately after the accident. Most personal injury attorneys work on contingency, so they are not paid until you win your case. This motivates them to make sure you get the best possible settlement whilst ensuring that anyone who needs a lawyer can get one.

In accident cases with injuries, it is possible you will not gain anything with a lawsuit. A good lawyer will let you know this immediately. Anytime there is an injury in an accident, call the police without delay. You will need a copy of the report the police do. If you are injured, get help as soon as possible.

Pennsylvania is a Choice No Fault state - if you have No Fault insurance you cannot sue for minor damage or injuries, and Philadelphia has a somewhat unclear threshold for when an injury becomes "serious." If you do not have No Fault insurance but the other driver does, then you also cannot sue them (making No Fault insurance often the better option).

Because of the multiple complications that could arise, you should not try to be your own attorney in an accident case. If you are not sure what to do, consult an attorney, who will not charge for the first visit, to see if it is feasible for you to pursue the case yourself and whether or not there is a possibility you could win the case. Your responsibility when someone is injured during a car accident is to immediately call an accident lawyer and seek the necessary legal counsel you need to proceed.
