Why Do I Need a Personal Injury Lawyer?
Obtaining the compensation you’re entitled to after someone else’s negligent actions cause you to be injured isn’t easy. Not only is the world of litigation a complex one, but the majority of people simply aren’t prepared to deal with the details of filing a personal injury claim while they are recovering from their injuries.
Working with an attorney can be an excellent way for you to get the most out of your claim. Our team will deal with the logistics of any insurance claims and compute the value of your damages so no stone is left unturned when it comes to winning the compensation you deserve through a personal injury lawsuit.
Handling the Insurance Adjuster
One of the most difficult aspects of many injuries is dealing with the insurance company, if one is involved. It is highly unlikely that you’ll find an insurance adjuster who is on your side. They nearly always will prioritize the needs of the company before those of the claimant.
Insurers are also notorious for manipulating statements given to them by claimants in order to reduce the amount they’ll be required to settle for. Modified comparative negligence law allows your award to be reduced by the percentage of blame you carry, and insurance adjusters are always looking for ways to capitalize on that.
With a knowledgeable attorney by your side, you can be sure that any of these attempts at wrongfully minimizing the amount you deserve will be swiftly handled. We won’t let you walk away with a settlement that’s anything less than fair and reasonable.
The Real Value of Your Losses
Another area where people are often misinformed is the true value of their claims. Especially when an insurance adjuster makes a quick settlement offer, it’s easy to take the money and run when you need it. But what if we told you that your claim is worth far more than the initial offer? That would more than likely change things for you.
It’s important that we consider all areas of your life that have been affected by your injuries so we can obtain full compensation.
Lost wages, medical costs, damage to your future earnings, pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of consortium, and loss of enjoyment of life are among the most frequently sought damages in personal injury claims—each with their own value from person to person, injury to injury, and accident to accident.
An experienced personal injury lawyer can make sure you’ve considered each and every possible damage for which you could receive compensation.
