You are not necessarily required to hire a Snohomish County car accident lawyer when you pursue damages in a car accident case. Before you go it alone though, you should know more about what a lawyer can do to help you with your case. Having the right attorney on your side can make a big difference.
Can a Lawyer Help Me Gather Evidence?
This is one of the key ways that lawyers can be of assistance. If you noticed a security camera near the scene of your accident, having a lawyer can make it easier to get that footage. A lawyer can communicate with a resident or business on your behalf to get that video of your accident. People may be more likely to hear out a lawyer than some random person who wants their recordings.
A lawyer can also subpoena phone records. If you think that another driver was on their phone or distracted at the time of the crash, those records could be handy. These are just a couple of examples, but a personal injury lawyer is ready to help clients gather any evidence that can help them build a stronger car accident case.
Can a Lawyer Help Me Find Expert Witnesses?
Your lawyer can help you track down witnesses and get their testimony too, but it’s not just witnesses to your accident who can be of assistance. Expert witnesses can also help you build a stronger car accident case. These are people with particular expertise who can talk about your accident, your injuries, and other aspects of your case with authority.
You might get an accident reconstruction expert to take the stand and describe how the crash happened, showing how the defendant was responsible. A medical expert can talk about your injuries and the road to recovery, backing up your arguments for fair compensation. If there is an expert who can help with your case, your lawyer can help you connect with them and use their testimony effectively.
