Episode 104: Calloway County accident attorney Jeff Roberts discusses the 7 Benefits of Hiring an Attorney if You’ve Been in an Accident. Motor vehicle accidents are far more complicated than most people realize. An experienced attorney works directly for your best interests. He knows how to protect you from making bad decisions related to the benefits you deserve. Jeff has over 32 years of experience handling car wrecks, motorcycle accidents and trucking collisions. He has an office in Murray and another in Hopkinsville. He represents clients in Bowling Green and many cities throughout Kentucky. Benefit #1: An Attorney Can Explain What You’re Entitled to Receive You may be unfamiliar with what you’re have a right to receive. At the same time, you may not be sure about the process involved in pursuing the recover for your damages. Recovery for your lost wages is very important. Getting your medical bills paid is a serious concern. How can they get reimbursed for prescriptions, co-pays and/or property damage? What is a claim for pain and suffering? Your attorney will be able to answer these questions. Jeff offers FREE CONSULTATIONS for anyone injured in an accident. He works on a contingency fee basis, which means Jeff only gets paid at the end of a case, if he’s able to negotiate a settlement or wins your case in court. Case expenses are the responsibility of the client. Benefit #2: Your Attorney Will Explain the Next Steps and Keep You Informed The legal process, the medical treatment options and the time involved can be extremely confusing. Fear of the unknown in real. An attorney can provide you with peace of mind. This is crucial while you’re healing from your injuries. Benefit #3: An Attorney Knows How to Gather the Evidence from Your Wreck Most people don’t know what types of evidence can be important to their car wreck case. Take photos at the accident scene, if you’re able to do so. Witness statements can be helpful, so gather names and contact information from anyone who saw the collision. If needed, an attorney can also hire an accident reconstructionist who plays a critical role in determining who was at-fault for the collision. They’ll document the skid marks, gouge marks and the position of the vehicles in the roadway. They’ll obtain information from the event data recorder in each vehicle (“the black box”). Jeff may also need to hire other experts in your case, including a life care planner, an economist and a vocational expert, and also medical specialists to explain the extent of injuries. Benefit #4: An Attorney Takes Away the Headache of Dealing with the Insurance Company Jeff explains how he works with the adjuster to try to resolve the claim, but they’re not always able to agree to what the value of the claim should be. After an accident, you may be dealing with multiple insurance representatives. Benefit #5: An Attorney Will Negotiate on Your Behalf An experienced auto accident attorney understands the process and the damages. He/she will be better at negotiating the settlement of your claim(s). Jeff has over 32 years of experience handling injury claims on a daily basis. Benefit #6: An Attorney Will Be Extremely Important if Your Case Goes to Trial The majority of motor vehicle claims settle before they go to court. Should your case need to go to trial, you’ll want to have an experienced attorney on your side, even though you could do it on your own. Benefit #7: An Attorney Will Manage any Healthcare Liens Many people don’t realize that your insurance company and other parties (i.e. Medicare or Medicaid) may have the right to a portion of your settlement. If your healthcare insurance paid for any of your treatment, they place a lien on any settlement or verdict you may receive. This is called a healthcare lien. What Do Other Clients Think About Jeff?
