Kingsport and Johnson City Auto Accidents
Auto accident litigation is surrounded by many different myths and misconceptions. These misconceptions about how accident litigation works and the ways in which accident victims receive compensation mean that many people who have the right to and deserve to file a claim for compensation do not. The Kingsport law firm of Hawkins, Bingham & Miller believes that every client should be as well informed about auto accident lawsuits and litigation as possible, and about some common myths and misconceptions.
"Auto Accident Lawsuits are Frivolous."
Too many people believe that those who file lawsuits for compensation after an accident are only after a quick buck. In reality, those who file lawsuits for compensation do so for a reason; the injuries and damages they have sustained have cost a great deal of money and in order to protect their future and the future of their family, they seek compensation. All personal injury attorneys have the responsibility to only pursue claims they feel are legitimate, making it very rare that a frivolous lawsuit is filed.
"All Lawsuits Require Lengthy Court Battles."
The overwhelming majority of auto accident cases are settled by out of court settlements, meaning that the claim is never heard in a court of law. Your auto accident attorney will do everything in his ability to help resolve your claim through mediation, arbitration or an out of court settlement to help you avoid the expense and time of a trial.
"A Settlement is Guaranteed."
All auto accident lawsuits are judged based on their facts and the merits of the case. Filing a lawsuit does not necessarily guarantee you a favorable settlement, but your attorney will work relentlessly to help you get the compensation you need and deserve.
The more you know about the truth surrounding auto accident litigation and lawsuits, the better you will be able to protect your rights and the rights of your family. For more information, contact your local auto accident attorney.
