Whether you’re zipping down I-29 or tooling through downtown Sioux Falls, you’re at risk of being hit by a negligent or distracted driver. If you’ve been hit by another car and didn’t cause the accident, you may be eligible for compensation from the at-fault driver. An experienced Sioux Falls, SD, car accident lawyer can evaluate your situation and advise you of your legal options.
You don’t have to negotiate with the insurance company or face the other driver’s lawyer on your own. At The Law Offices of Clayborne, Loos & Sabers LLP, we’re here to support you at every step, advocating on your behalf and protecting you as you heal from your car accident injuries. Call us today for a free case review.
What Does A Car Accident Lawyer Do?
Victims of a car accident have the right to file a lawsuit for compensation for damages against the driver who caused the wreck. Right after the crash, the other driver’s insurance company may offer you a fast settlement. Although the settlement may look good when you’re lying in the hospital bed, out of work, it’s probably not enough to cover the full extent of your losses.
A good Sioux Falls car accident lawyer properly values your case, including assigning a fair value to your pain, suffering, and emotional trauma. They collect evidence supporting your claim that the other driver’s negligence caused the wreck, building a case to support your demand for compensation.
Your lawyer is your advocate, representing your interests alone—not the insurance company’s. They can speak on your behalf to the other party so you can rest and heal in peace.
Protecting Your Interests After A Car Crash
Many car accident cases are settled out of court, in negotiations between the two parties or in mediation, guided negotiations overseen by a third party. We often try to negotiate a fair settlement for you before going to court to save you the stress and expenses of a trial. However, if the other party does not agree to our demand for fair compensation, our litigators are prepared to fight before a judge and jury.
We can help ensure that your settlement covers your current medical needs and any future needs, like physical therapy or vocational rehabilitation. We’ll also value your claim to consider the emotional trauma from the crash and any therapy you may need to recover emotionally.
