  • Completing case-related paperwork: An insurance claim or lawsuit can include significant paperwork. From filing your lawsuit or claim to completing and submitting other necessary paperwork, a car accident attorney should handle all the administrative aspects of your case.

  • They work for a contingency fee: You should not have to pay anything upfront when you hire a car accident attorney. Instead, you agree to pay the law firm a percentage of your financial recovery.
