A traffic lawyer is a great resource because he or she can help you with everything from auto accident cases to disputing traffic tickets. Negotiating lower penalties and making sure that your medical bills are covered just a few of the reasons to hire a traffic lawyer.
Negotiating Lower Penalties
One major way that a traffic lawyer can help you is by negotiating lower penalties in those instances where you are guilty. For example, if you have been involved in a traffic accident that was caused by your own negligence or reckless driving, you attorney can attempt to negotiate a lower penalty with a prosecutor or judge.
In some cases, reckless driving and negligence can result in your license being revoked. However, a traffic attorney may be able to convince the court officials to accept community service, traffic school, or financial penalties in place of revoking your license.
The reason that these negotiations are made possible is because your attorney will be familiar with all of the court officials in the area. This familiarity with the judge and prosecutor will help your attorney determine what the judge or prosecutor is likely to accept during a negotiation.
Medical Bills
Another major reason to hire a traffic lawyer is to make sure that you do not have to pay for your own medical bills if you were not at fault for an accident. In that situation, your attorney will do everything in his or her power to ensure that the person who was at fault pays for the medical bills. This will allow you to stop stressing out about rapidly rising medical expenses and simply rest and recover.
In addition, your attorney will make sure that more than just your basic medical bills are covered. If you need ongoing care for months or years due to severe injures that resulted from the accident, the attorney will make sure to sue the responsible party for those costs. In most cases, this will have the attorney sending you to multiple doctors to get as many opinions as possible. proving to the judge that you need ongoing care. All of those opinions from numerous medical professionals will make it much harder for the insurance company representing the person responsible to win their case and avoid paying for your medical bills.
