Do I need a personal injury lawyer?

No matter what type of accident you may have been involved in, if you received injuries due to someone’s negligence, it is highly recommended that you seek the legal assistance of a skillful personal injury lawyer who can provide you with the necessary legal guidance to achieve the compensation you deserve. Some of the most common personal injury cases include:

  • Automobile accidents
  • Slips and falls
  • Medical malpractice
  • Defective product accidents
  • Dog bites

Why is the insurance company telling me I don’t need a personal injury attorney?

Unfortunately, most insurance companies do not have your best interest in mind and will try to give you advice that best interests them. Insurance adjusters are not supposed to provide legal advice since they are not true lawyers, yet many times they do offer biased advice. Seeking the opinion of a personal injury attorney can provide you with unbiased legal advice that can ultimately help you achieve the compensation you deserve. Insurance companies are well aware of how much your case is truly worth and they will try their best to offer you a quick settlement at a much lower amount than what you could gain with the help of a lawyer.

What if I have already taken my own steps towards solving this accident?

Many clients find that trying to proceed through a claim on their own is burdensome and stressful. In addition, most people that begin the claim on their own, realize that they cannot afford the medical payments out of their own pocket. For these reasons, people seek out our assistance. We want you to focus on getting healthy once again, both physically and emotionally, adding the legal stressors to your condition will not help you get better quicker. After you choose to hire one of our talented lawyers, we gather the necessary information and inform the insurance companies that all contact will now be through our office. This will lift a huge burden from your shoulders and provide you the time and space needed to get better.

What will the compensation cover?

The amount of compensation you receive will largely depend on the type of accident that occurred and the amount of damages and injuries received. Typically, the compensation is to help the client cover all medical bills that are related to the injury acquired from the accident. Lost wages are also taken into account and the amount of time you will have to go without working. Lastly, there are “general damages” that can be recoverable. These damages include emotional distress, pain and suffering, and inconvenience due to the accident. It is suggested that you speak with a trusted personal injury lawyer to determine how much suffering you received from this accident and how much compensation you rightfully deserve.
