Why Do You Need an Albany Car Accident Attorney?

Not just any Albany personal injury lawyer can successfully handle a car accident case. In fact, there are some Albany personal injury lawyers that have never even handled a serious car injury accident. The need for immediate action in some car accidents is absolutely necessary. The driver may not be from the same state as the victim, making service of process difficult or impossible. In many cases, the driver’s insurance may not cover the cost of your injuries.

An Albany experienced car accident law firm knows how to find the driver and get what you deserve from their or your insurance carrier.

Submit Your Information for an Immediate Review by a Albany, New York Car Accident Lawyer

All too often, injury victims think they are not seriously injured because their symptoms take some time to fully manifest. For example, a herniated disk in your back or neck will not show any symptoms for weeks after the truck accident. If you are feeling any numbing or tingling into your arms, hands or fingers or thighs, knees, feet or toes, you should seek a medical opinion from an orthopedist. An MRI is sometimes required to properly look at the spine as opposed to a normal x-ray. Albany car accident attorneys are familiar with doctors and their credentials. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, make sure to indicate that information on the below questionnaire.

The type of trauma suffered by a driver or passenger of a car involved in a car accident can easily cause back injuries, neck injuries, fractures, broken bones and other orthopedic problems.
