Although the specific tasks that a car accident attorney takes on will vary from case to case, in most circumstances, you can expect that a car accident attorney will help you with your case by:

• Advising you as to your legal rights and options at each stage of your claim
• Handling communications with the insurance companies
• Investigating the accident to recover all available evidence to prove fault for the crash
• Requesting and organizing your medical records to establish the types and severity of your injuries
• Collaborating with your treating medical providers to help prove your injuries and losses, including bringing your doctors and other medical experts in to testify
• Working with lienholders in your case, such as health insurers or workers’ compensation insurers, to arrange for the satisfaction of those liens while ensuring that you get the maximum amount of money possible from any settlement or verdict you obtain
• Negotiating with insurance adjusters or defense attorneys to try to reach a fair and full settlement
• Filing your claim in court and advocating on your behalf at trial, if necessary
