How Do You Decide Who's at Fault in an Accident?

    ESSEX, NJ, December 20, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- When you are involved in any type of accident that results in personal injury, liability will need to be determined before compensation can be sought. This may seem like a fairly black and white proposition, but it seldom is.

In every accident, there are at least two sides. In some instances there are more, many of which you may fail to account for. So, how do you decide who is at fault in an accident? You don't. You leave that up to an experienced personal injury lawyer.

Why Hire a Lawyer?

When you sustain a serious personal injury, there will be an immediate response from insurance companies. They will try to get you to accept their offers before you talk to a lawyer. They know if they can get you to accept a settlement, you waive your right to further legal action.

Insurance companies will base their determination on what is in their best business interests. But protecting insurance company profits almost always means cheating victims out of fair compensation. For compensation that covers all of your damages, you need an aggressive personal injury lawyer.

Your lawyer will conduct an investigation into your accident. Depending on the nature of your accident, your personal injury lawyer may involve outside experts to gather further evidence. With this information, your lawyer will be able to establish who is at fault, even in instances where there are multiple parties.

Once fault is accurately determined, your lawyer can make an assessment of the many ways your injury has impacted your life. This may include medical expenses, lost wages, lifestyle changes, physical pain, and emotional duress. Based on these findings, your lawyer will fight tooth and nail to get you every penny you deserve.
