Charlotte Auto Accidents: Not Everyone Will Agree With What You’re Doing

June 26, 2012, by Michael A. DeMayo

As a Charlotte auto accident victim, you’re seriously contemplating taking legal action against a driver who hit you, an insurance company, or some other party — perhaps even a municipal agency in charge of keeping the roads safe. You may very well have a sound case. However, you cannot control other people’s reactions to your legal actions!

For instance, say your case becomes highly publicized – and potentially controversial. There is a likelihood that anonymous people writing about the case on the internet may write things or speculate about you in ways that you don’t particularly like. If your case becomes a big battle, legally speaking – that is, it becomes “interesting” from a legal perspective and thus attracts different lawyers to comment on it – you can also expect to read positive and negative opinions about your case and your situation.

The positive reviews are nice to read. But the negative feedback can easily be dispiriting.

It’s important to remember that, even with good effort and a strong sense of equilibrium, it can be difficult to “tune out” the haters, particularly if someone says something that touches you or cuts to some insecurity you have about the case or about yourself in general.

Step one to managing this frustration is to get good, experienced people on your team.

The seasoned auto accident lawyers at the Law Offices of Michael A. DeMayo, for instance, can help you parse your options and figure out what might be resourceful next steps to take.

Do be aware that getting a recovery for your medical bills and time off of work may not be simple or easy – even if you have a very solid case and a terrific legal team fighting for you.

You may hit bumps in the road.

But when you do, remind yourself about the positive things in your life, and focus intensely on why you want to achieve the results you want to achieve. When we dwell on our purpose – when we understand what’s motivating us to do what we are doing – we can often overcome obstacles that otherwise might undermine our perseverance and lead us to settle for less than ideal results.
