There is no such thing as a good auto accident. Fortunately, many events of this type can be resolved with relative ease. Others may require more effort and help from one of the auto accident attorneys in Norfolk, VA. A prime example is an accident where the injury and the damage to the car were caused by the negligent driving of someone behind the wheel of a commercial truck. Taking on a member of the trucking industry requires legal counsel to protect the interests of the injured party.
The Other Party Has Plenty of Legal Support
One of the first things the injured party must understand is that the trucking firm employing the driver has plenty of legal resources to call on. Between the legal team at the insurance company and the company lawyer, rest assured they have the resources to do whatever it takes to prevent a huge payout to the injured party. Without legal representation that knows the industry and the application of traffic laws well, it would be far too easy for the injured party to be talked into settling for much less than deserved.
With the help of one of the auto accident attorneys in Norfolk, VA, the discussions will be more balanced. The attorney will be able to anticipate the strategies the other side will employ and be in a position to counter them. The result is a more even field for negotiating a settlement that is in line with the scope of the injuries, any income lost during the convalescent period, and money to cover future expenses related to any permanent health condition resulting from that accident.
Creating a Line of Communication
Once the attorney takes on the case, that’s the end of the direct contact with the other party. Should any overtures be made, all the client has to do is provide the attorney’s contact information. If there is a reason to meet with the other party and the opposing legal team, those meetings will only take place with the attorney present. During the meeting, answers to questions are only provided after consultation with the attorney.
Don’t be at the mercy of those responsible for the accident. Contact the team at website and arrange a consultation. Rest assured the attorney will use every legal means to protect the client and obtain the best possible settlement.
