Car Accident Attorney in Southfield

Medical Examination

If you have been in a car accident, your health is the most important consideration. First, seek medical attention from a physician. In addition to providing the medical care you need, your physician can create a record of any lacerations, bruises, and internal damage, and check for injuries that may not be immediately evident, but may cause problems in the future.

Remember, you should never discuss your injuries with anyone except your doctor and your attorney. After you receive medical care, you should contact an attorney to discuss your legal options.

Investigation

Your car accident lawyer will investigate your case thoroughly and gather necessary evidence to determine whether you have a personal injury claim: if so, they will move forward with the case. Your lawyer can review your medical reports and police accident reports, interview eyewitnesses, and photograph the accident scene.

Demand Letter

After concluding the investigation, your car accident lawyer will compile a list of the losses you suffered and identify a monetary cost for each. He or she will write a demand letter that lays out the details of the case, the injuries suffered, and a total dollar amount requested from the party at fault or their insurance company.

Negotiations and Trial

After receiving the demand letter, the insurance company may offer you a settlement. Your attorney will negotiate to fight for the full amount you deserve. If a fair settlement cannot be reached, he or she will take your case to trial.
