Some people believe that hiring a personal injury lawyer is unnecessary. They think that it's less complicated to simply accept the settlement offered by the other party.
However, most accident injuries are more than just a few scratches. Victims of negligence may suffer from loss of income, expensive medical bills, permanent injuries that may not be apparent right away, and other compensable damages. If you've been in an accident, a personal injury lawyer can potentially help you get the maximum compensation for your damages.
1. You'll Have Professional Support
After an accident, the other party's insurance company will likely reach out to you, offering a settlement. But these insurers don't have your best interests at heart. In some cases, they'll offer a lower compensation or frustrate you until you make a decision that can undermine your claim.
Hiring a personal injury lawyer can potentially make things easier for you. They are knowledgeable about these types of cases and can help you understand what to expect. In addition, they can represent you during the claim process and potentially in court, so you don't have to. Working with a personal injury lawyer can help remove the complexities of the claim process and legal process.
2. Potentially Obtain For You The Full Compensation You Deserve
In some cases, victims of negligence would agree to the other party's offer because they only sustained minor bruises. However, many injuries show symptoms of severity days, weeks, or even months later. By then, the compensation you received may seem unfair for the suffering you're experiencing at the moment.
The truth is, insurers will offer lesser compensation because it will save them money. And if you accept it so easily, it might hurt you in the long run. Experienced personal injury lawyer John C. Murrow can potentially help you maximize the compensation you receive. John will analyze your case and consider how your injuries will affect you in the future. He will strive to set you the compensation you need and deserve.
3. Helps You Make Better Decisions
Whether it's due to a car accident, slip and fall, or any type of negligence, submitting a personal injury claim can be complicated. Moreover, the pain and stress caused by your injuries might make it more difficult to make an objective decision. But with a personal injury lawyer, you don't have to worry about the claim and legal processes. They can file the personal injury claim and lawsuit on your behalf and with their knowledge and skills, can advise you on what to expect and what to do.
4. Helps You Get Medical Attention
Personal injury lawyers usually work with licensed health centers or clinics. If you call the lawyers first after an accident, they can immediately help you get medical attention. They can process the claim while you are recuperating, which can significantly lessen your stress.
5. Conducts a Professional Investigation
As a victim of negligence, you don't have to wait for what the other party finds in their investigation. You have the right to hire a personal injury lawyer who can conduct a professional investigation for you. This is important because the other party's insurer is not looking out for you, but your injury attorney will. Your attorney might find evidence favorable to you and better support your argument for your claim and lawsuit.
6. Negotiates for You
Insurers can be persistent and persuasive when it comes to offering a low settlement. Negotiating with them by yourself can be challenging, especially since they have different methods to convince you. You don't have to worry about any of this when working with an experienced personal injury lawyer. They can negotiate and strive to maximize the best compensation for your injuries.
7. Represents You in Court
You can take your case to court, especially if your lawyer thinks the insurer is offering you less than what you deserve. Most victims choose not to do this because it takes time and can be risky. However, it can potentially provide you a heftier compensation than if you settled. An experienced personal injury lawyer knows a fair settlement, or when to go to court.
A professional personal injury attorney will let you know if taking your case to court is the right decision.
8. Saves You Time
The best thing to do after an accident is to call a personal injury lawyer. They can gather the evidence and handle the claim for you while you focus on recuperating from your injuries.
Upon analyzing your case, they can give you an estimation of how long it might take to settle so you know what to expect. But through their skills and knowledge of all the legalities, they can provide you suggestions on how to speed up the process and get you compensated as soon as possible.
9. Gives You Peace of Mind
Being injured in an accident can cause anxiety and emotional trauma. Additionally, submitting for a personal injury claim is also stressful. Knowing that a qualified personal injury lawyer is working on your claim can give you peace of mind. They will handle all the complicated evidence, medical records and bills, give you sound and objective advice, and work hard so that you'll receive the full compensation you deserve.
