Car Accident Lawyer

您可能需要聘请车祸律师，如果你卷入车祸

A good car accident lawyer can help you recover losses resulting from a motor vehicle accident and/or reduce the hefty amount of paperwork, "red tape," and hassle often associated with car accident insurance claims. Knowing when to contact or hire a car accident lawyer can make the difference between a justly resolved case and owing or losing large monetary damages.

An experienced car accident lawyer can help you get compensation to cover any losses incurred due to the accident, such as medical expenses, lost wages, and car repairs. In some states, a car accident lawyer may help you recover when a loved one is killed, especially if reckless driving, speeding, or drunk-driving was involved.

There are many ways to find a qualified car accident lawyer. Referrals from friends and family or online may be a good start. However, not all attorney referral services are the same and unless you have unlimited hours to spend asking for referrals, you may wish to find a car accident lawyer in your area using one of several quality-assured lawyer directories, such as FindLaw, devoted to connecting you to an experienced lawyer.

Most car accident cases are handled on a contingency or "no win-no pay" basis. This means that if the attorney does not win or settle the case on your behalf, he or she does not collect a fee. On the other hand, if the attorney wins the case, the attorney will get a percentage of the personal injury award. The attorney's percentage varies from case to case, but can equal approximately one-third to 40% of the total award, with different limits imposed from state to state. It's important to note that attorney fees are different from costs, and you may be responsible for certain out-of-pocket expenses associated with your case.
