What does my lawyer do when I’m involved in an accident?
First, your attorney advises you of your legal rights and opens a file. Then he or she begins to communicate with the other parties involved in the accident, their insurance companies and their attorney. Your lawyer will also put all of your doctor bills, receipts and your hospital bills in your file. If it is necessary, your attorney will either negotiate a settlement on your behalf, or prepare the case for trial and try the case on your behalf.
