Haymarket, VA Car Accident Attorneys
Supportive Lawyers Addressing Car Crashes and Injuries in Haymarket, Virginia
If you or somebody you care about has been hurt in a car crash caused by someone else, you can file a personal injury claim to secure payment for your damages. The process of filing a claim can be intimidating, and the other driver's insurance company may attempt to take advantage of you and pay you less than what you are owed. A car accident lawyer can assist you from beginning to end of your claim, working to protect your rights.
At Parthemos, Curran, Buelow and Polizzi, PLLC, we represent residents of Haymarket in car accident claims. When you work with our firm, you will receive full attention from our lawyers as we work diligently to secure the full compensation you are owed.
Responding to a Car Accident
The steps you take after a car accident could increase your chances of getting compensation. First and foremost, do not admit to any responsibility for the accident, whether to the other driver or to the police. Try to remain calm as you exchange insurance information with the other driver.
When the police arrive on site, the officer will issue a crash report that will identify the cause behind the accident as well as the driver at fault. Before leaving the scene of the accident, you should take pictures of the crash and document as much evidence as possible, noting when and where the accident took place.
After leaving the accident, you should seek out medical attention to have your injuries looked at. The full extent of your injuries may not be obvious, and a doctor can give you a professional opinion to accurately gauge the ways you have been affected and ensure that you will receive the proper medical care.
Evidence in a Car Accident Claim
To hold the other driver at fault, you will have to compile evidence to support your claim. Keep in mind that any fault on your end could damage your claim for compensation. At Parthemos, Curran, Buelow and Polizzi, PLLC, we can refute allegations that you were at fault and collect proof of the other driver's fault, such as:
- Witness statements, including the police report
- Photos of the vehicles involved in the crash
- Video from traffic cameras or CCTV footage
The more evidence we have to support your claim, the less room the insurance company has to refute it. We can investigate the crash site and collect other evidence while you recuperate from your injuries. At Parthemos, Curran, Buelow and Polizzi, PLLC, we will not take any shortcuts during our investigation, making sure to gather any and all evidence from the scene of the crash.
Will My Claim Go to Trial?
Many car accident claims can be settled without ever stepping foot in the courtroom. At Parthemos, Curran, Buelow and Polizzi, PLLC, our attorneys use aggressive negotiation strategies to help clients get the compensation they are entitled to, refusing to accept lowball offers from insurance companies.
In some cases, however, the insurance company may not be willing to pay for all of your damages, or it may reject your claim outright. If necessary, our attorneys can escalate your claim to court to get a verdict. Our lawyers have trial experience, and we are not afraid to stand up for your rights in court as we work to obtain maximum compensation for you.
