How to Navigate Auto Accidents – Stress, Injuries, Lawsuits, and More

Auto accidents can happen in a split second without any warning. Whether you are rear-ended on the highway, or are the victim of a pedestrian accident, it is crucial to find the right personal injury attorney to handle your case. The right attorney will gather proper evidence, handle insurance companies, and work alongside you to eliminate any stress you may have. Attorney Michael Bailey of Bailey Legal Services, PLLC, is here to work with you in the Barboursville area after an auto accident.

Auto accidents can come with extreme injuries that can affect you for life. Attorney Bailey has experience working with clients with the following injuries:

  • Neck & Back Injuries
  • Brain Injuries
  • Whiplash
  • Broken Bones

  • Spinal Injuries

After an accident, talk with your attorney to learn more about your options. Whether you need to file a lawsuit, navigate insurance claims, or are unsure of how to proceed with any findings, attorney Bailey will be here to answer your questions and help you succeed.

 

How to Choose the Right Attorney After Car Accident

Even minor fender-benders can result in injuries that last a lifetime. From whiplash, to back injuries, you can find yourself out of work with a large pile of medical bills and insurance claims that you may not fully understand after a car accident. The right personal injury attorney will take over for you so you can focus on recovery. The right attorney will work towards the following outcomes, instead of getting you the bare minimum:

Determine who is at fault. To receive proper compensation, you need to prove that the other driver is at fault for the accident. You need an attorney that will gather evidence, investigate the scene, and carefully analyze what exactly caused the accident.

Receive compensation & monetary damages. If you do not choose the right attorney, there is a chance that they will try to settle for a low price in order to avoid lengthy court battles. This is not what you want. Find a personal injury attorney that will do whatever it takes to get you the compensation you deserve after an auto accident.

Filing wrongful death claims. Unfortunately, many lose their lives to auto accidents every year. According to the NSC, 38,800 U.S. citizens were killed due to an auto accident. If your loved one dies as a result of an auto accident, talk to attorney Michael S. Bailey to see if you are eligible for a wrongful death claim.

Attorney Michael Bailey will handle your case with the utmost respect and expertise. We will not give up until we get the right compensation for you.

 

Do I Really Need an Attorney After an Accident?

A common question that may cross your mind after an accident, no matter whose fault it is. An attorney can only help your case and show the insurance company that you will not settle for less than you deserve. Handling insurance claims and their many factors is no easy feat, and an experienced attorney can navigate these stressors for you.

 

Pedestrian Accidents – How to Determine Who is at Fault

A study by the CDC states that almost 6,000 pedestrians lost their lives due to traffic accidents in 2017, and over 100,000 received treatment in the emergency room for injuries due to accidents. Both pedestrians and drivers have a responsibility to keep each other safe while commuting. A few ways for both to remain safe include:

  • Looking both ways before crossing the street
  • Obeying traffic signals for both drivers and pedestrians
  • Using a horn or bell to alert pedestrians and other drivers
  • Watching children cross the street
  • Not using distraction objects, like phones or headsets, while driving or crossing busy roads
  • Do not drive while impaired
  • Drive within the posted speed limit
