What Your Car Accident Lawyer Needs to Know
Unfortunately, car accidents are quite frequent in El Paso. Sometimes a small fender bender can easily be resolved out of court, but sometimes the situation gets more complicated. Make sure your car accident lawyer knows as much relevant information pertaining to you and your case as possible. This will help secure a strong defense.
Your car accident lawyer should know your account of what happened
Chances are that a police report of the incident in which you were involved in will be filed. While this may be true, a police report may not be enough for your attorney. Recount everything that happened, especially where you feel you may not be at fault. Your car accident lawyer is your advocate so make sure to be as honest as possible.
Your car accident lawyer should know of your driving history
If you have a record or if you’ve been involved in a similar accident, make sure that you let your attorney know at least some of the specifics of the situation(s). Also, if you have any medical conditions or any other circumstances worth mentioning, make sure that your lawyer knows those as well. The more that your attorney knows, the better they can help you. An attorney worth hiring will be sure to ask you all of these questions, but be sure to include anything you think may be relevant.
Your car accident lawyer should know any insurance issues
Whether an accident is your fault or not, if you have any issues with your insurance provider, make sure to let your attorney know. Your attorney can assist you in filing claims with or even against your insurance provider, if necessary. Your insurance provider has a whole team of attorneys. You should also be prepared with your own legal representation. If for no other reason, at least do this as a precaution.
