The aftermath of a car accident can be overwhelming and confusing, especially when you're recovering from injuries caused by someone else's negligence. An insurance adjuster may offer to settle your case, but they usually will act in their own interests, not yours. Salerno & Associates in Omaha, NE, car accident attorneys with nearly 40 years of experience, recommend you meet with a lawyer before accepting a settlement.

Here are four good reasons to call a car accident injury attorney:

• Valuation Of Damages: Many people accept insufficient offers because they don't know what their claim is worth. An experienced attorney will calculate your damages, including non-monetary losses like pain and suffering, missed opportunities, and psychological trauma.

• No Risk: Most personal injury attorneys take a percentage of your final award, so you pay nothing if they aren't successful. This almost completely eliminates your risk and ensures your lawyer will work hard to achieve the best possible outcome for your case.

• Investigative Resources: Insurance companies often dispute their responsibility for an accident, usually by offering an alternate series of events. Many car accident attorneys have extensive experience dealing with these tactics and use investigative resources to prove liability and identify all parties who contributed to your injuries.

• An Objective Assessment: Your personal injury attorney will not have the heightened emotions and financial burdens that may motivate your decisions. This allows them to provide a clear-eyed, objective evaluation of your case and what you realistically can hope to achieve.
