Hiring a personal injury lawyer is one of those things that most people seldom think about until they really need it, usually after an accident has occurred.
Whether the injury is the result of a car or motorcycle collision, a slip-and-fall, or an animal bite, it can be extremely stressful and potentially shatter a person’s sense of security and well-being. This can ring especially true if the accident wasn’t your fault.
Too often, though, the injury itself is just the prelude to a different kind of struggle with one or more insurance companies. If you’ve been hurt in an accident and you think someone else may be at fault, it can be a good idea to check with an attorney to see if they can assist.
Don’t let an insurance company overrun you
The frustration of dealing with insurance companies on your own can be overwhelming. Like many businesses, insurance companies require oodles of paperwork and are determined to minimize their costs. They have adjusters who are trained to settle your claim as quickly as possible and, in some cases, are intent on paying the least amount of compensation. Many times, the settlement an insurance company offers doesn’t begin to cover your real losses, including medical bills, missed work and child care expenses. If you don’t have professional experience negotiating with insurance companies, you’re at a disadvantage.
Having someone in your corner can be invaluable
While your accident injury case may seem straightforward to you, it could be more complicated than you realize. A lack of legal knowledge can backfire when negotiating injury claims with insurance companies. In fact, accident victims tend to underestimate the amount of compensation they’re entitled to by law, and they often don’t understand how to collect the materials they need to best present their case. Each case is different and has its own individual demands, depending on the type and extent of the injuries sustained. Sometimes the insurance company will contest the amount of damages claimed by the victim.
Having a competent personal injury lawyer on your side — one who knows the law and has a vested interest in ensuring that your rights are protected — can make a huge difference. By gathering the relevant information and documentation, a lawyer has the ability to accurately assess the true value of your claim and present it to the insurance company.
A lawyer can give you much-needed help
Proving negligence in an accident injury case can be tricky. Lawyers routinely gather evidence to advance their clients’ cases. This can involve all manner of investigative methods, from consulting with medical experts and collecting documents to interviewing witnesses and reconstructing accident scenes. This is especially helpful if the fault in the accident is being contested.
