How Will a Lawyer Help Your Case After a Car Accident in Virginia?

Auto accident victims may often wonder why they need to work with a lawyer in these cases. Car accident cases can end up being more complicated than initially thought, and most car accident injury victims probably do not have the resources necessary to thoroughly investigate their case.

However, our attorneys at Randall, McClenney, Daniels & Dunn, PC have extensive resources at their disposal to do the following:

• Obtain any evidence needed to prove liability in your car accident case, which can include vehicle “black box” data, statements from eyewitnesses to the crash, photo or video surveillance from the scene, accident reports and more
• See to it that a trusted medical professional evaluates and properly treats your bodily injuries
• Work with trusted economic professionals to fully evaluate the total losses that you are expected to incur
• Negotiate with every party involved to obtain a fair settlement on your behalf or prepare the case for trial if necessary to obtain maximum compensation

How a Car Accident Lawyer Can Help Prove Fault

To recover compensation in a personal injury claim, you must prove that another party caused the accident. Strong evidence is essential. Without it, insurance companies may deny your claim or try to shift blame onto you.

An attorney can collect and organize the following types of evidence to build your case:

• Police reports
• Eyewitness statements
• Photographs of the crash scene and vehicle damage
• Video footage from traffic cameras or nearby surveillance
• Testimony from medical experts or accident scene reconstruction professionals

How Much Will a Car Accident Attorney Cost Me?

One of the most common reasons that car accident injury victims do not seek assistance from an attorney is because they are afraid that they cannot afford one. However, the team at Randall, McClenney, Daniels & Dunn, PC, takes Virginia car accident cases on a contingency fee basis. This means you pay NO upfront or out-of-pocket costs related to your case.

Our attorneys will only collect legal fees after we obtain the compensation you need. If we do not win, you will not pay.

What You Should Do After Being Injured in a Car Wreck

The aftermath of an automobile accident can be overwhelming, especially if you or a family member has been seriously injured. Taking the right steps early can help protect your health and strengthen any future legal claim.

1. Call 911 so law enforcement can file a police report and emergency responders can treat any visible injuries.
2. Seek medical attention right away, even if you feel fine. Some serious injuries, like traumatic brain injuries and whiplash, are not immediately apparent.
3. Take photos and videos of your injuries, vehicle damage, skid marks, road conditions, and anything else that shows how the crash occurred.
4. Ask nearby businesses or witnesses if any surveillance or cellphone video is available.
5. Get the names and contact information of any witnesses.
6. Exchange insurance information with all involved drivers.
7. Limit what you say to the insurance company. Provide only basic facts and avoid recorded statements.
8. Follow your doctor’s instructions and attend all follow-up appointments.
9. Contact a personal injury attorney as soon as possible to protect your rights and help build your case.
