An experienced lawyer will be able to help you maximize your remedies both for your "First Party Claim" - the benefits you are entitled to receive from your own insurance company, including medical and rehabilitative care, and up to three years of lost wages - and help you evaluate your potential "Third Party Claim" against a driver who caused the accident. The "Third Party Claim" may include damages for your pain and suffering, as well as for certain economic losses not covered by your own automobile insurance policy.
Sometimes a lawyer who is not familiar with the laws which apply to car accident cases will attempt to represent a client in a dispute over their First Party benefits, or in relation to a negligence claim against the other driver. While some attorneys do learn the law as they go, other lawyers make mistakes due to their unfamiliarity with No Fault statutes and recent court rulings affecting the rights of car accident victims. Your auto accident lawyer should be familiar not only with the laws which govern No Fault claims and litigation, but also with the latest case law interpreting those laws.
