Why Should You Call an Attorney After a Car Accident?

Following a car accident, many of us believe we can handle the issues that follow on our own. Most adults know they need to contact the insurance company and make arrangements to have the vehicle repaired. And, for minor bump-ins, with few, if any, injuries, this plan could work out well. When an auto accident is more serious, however, handling things on your own can become significantly more difficult—sometimes even overwhelming. Unless you have experienced a serious injury, you may not be aware of just how much this level of injury can alter your day-to-day life, your physical abilities, and even your emotional and mental status.

When Your Life Changes in an Instant

When you are involved in a car accident that leaves you seriously injured, everything in your life changes—in ways you may not be able to even imagine. One moment you could be in good health, making plans for your future and enjoying your current lifestyle, then, in a mere instant, everything has changed. You are being loaded into an ambulance, wheeled into an emergency room, and you are overtaken with panic, anxiety, stress. Will you be all right? Will you be able to return to work and make a living? How long will your recovery take—or, will you ever recover fully? How will your injuries affect your relationships, your financial future, your career?

Could You Handle The Details on Your Own?

So, one minute you are looking forward to the activities you have planned for the weekend, and the next, everything has changed—through no fault of your own. Of course, you could attempt to handle everything on your own. You could make endless calls to insurance companies, as you try your best to make the indifferent person on the other end understand just how serious your injuries really are. You could watch your medical expenses mount alarmingly, wondering if you will be able to pay them, and, if you cannot, if you will still be able to obtain the treatments you need.

You could spend sleepless nights, wondering how you will cope with everything that’s being thrown at you, and your stress levels could reach epidemic proportions—or, you could make a single phone call to Stroud, Flechas & Dalton in Mississippi.

How Can Serious Injuries Affect Your Future?

More and more often, we hear of auto accidents which caused truly catastrophic injuries. This level of injury can change lives forever, affecting the future of all those involved. Catastrophic injuries generally leave victims suffering permanent disabilities for the remainder of their lives. Any injury, whether catastrophic, serious, or even more moderate, which changes the life of the victim, deserves compensation. While it is a certainty that money will not change the fact that you are injured and that you must learn to deal with those injuries, it can make your life considerably easier when you are not constantly worried about how you will pay for your medical expenses, and whether you will be able to keep a roof over your head and food on the table.

How Will You Deal with the Changes in Your Life?

After all, in addition to how you will deal with your injuries, those closest to you will also be forced to deal with the changes your injuries could bring to their lives. If you are the primary breadwinner in the family, the future can look pretty grim for your spouse and children. Not only did your life change in an instant—so did theirs. Perhaps your injuries are severe enough to require long-term rehabilitation and assistance. As you might imagine, this can place considerable stress on your loved ones. While the impact of any injury can be significant, if your injuries are more serious, you could even face difficulties attending to day-to-day tasks, as well as experiencing a loss of enjoyment of your life.
