They primarily investigate the accident, gather evidence, negotiate with insurance companies, and if necessary, represent their clients in court to seek fair compensation for damages like medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Their main goal is to ensure their client receives justice and adequate financial recovery for their injuries and losses.
