Many victims of auto accidents are injured and can’t take on the work that goes along with gathering witness statements, police reports, medical records and wage information in order to negotiate settlements and file claims. An attorney can help you collect and organize this information in order to write settlement demand letters on your behalf. They can also help you calculate the correct amounts for pain and suffering and emotional distress that you can use in your case. If your spouse or relative was injured or killed in such an accident, an attorney can help you to file a wrongful death or loss of consortium lawsuit.
Your losses may go beyond medical claims, lost wages and injuries; an auto accident may have prevented you from attending a once-in-a-lifetime event or from contributing to an important business function. Whatever the case, auto accident attorneys such as those at The Ledger Law Firm can even help you to assign value to intangible losses to include in your claims.
