Hiring An Experienced Personal Injury Attorney

Probably the last thing any of us think about on a regular basis is the need for hiring an attorney. But accidents and injuries can happen at any time and when they suddenly happen to us, an experienced personal injury attorney starts looking like a great idea. Insurance paperwork, doctor visits and questions from police investigators ensure that the impact will be immediate and drastic. The weeks after a personal injury can be overwhelming and leave you feeling alone, confused and scared. How will you pay for the medical bills that will surely start piling up? Are you entitled to compensation beyond doctor visits? To answer these questions, and more, you will need a good personal injury attorney who knows your rights and can help ease your worry and stress.

Our legal team will walk you through the tedious legal process and formulate a strategy that helps you regain your losses and collect the compensation you are entitled to. Our experienced personal injury attorneys will help you with the most important pieces of your unique case.

Why Should I Hire a Personal Injury Attorney?

Professional Claim Assessment:

Litigation can become very costly and time-consuming to pursue. Before you even consider legal action, our expert team will examine the strength of your case and help you assess whether or not litigation is a worthwhile option. In some cases, arbitration or mediation may be a more beneficial alternative to a lengthy court trial. An experienced attorney can determine whether or not the time, money and emotional toll of a complicated trial would be the best route to take.

Contingency Fee (If You Don’t Win, You Don’t Pay):

Most personal injury attorneys offer a contingency fee as part of their services. This means that the attorney’s fees are based on a percentage of the recovery amount. This type of arrangement allows you to obtain the legal representation you need to fight your case even if you do not have the money up front to pay for these services. This also means that if you do not recover compensation at the end of your case, you will not pay attorney fees.

Note: Even in the event of no compensation, you may still be responsible for non-attorney expenses, such as expert witness fees associated with the reviewing of medical records and other services rendered in preparation for your case. Your attorney will review these expenses with you.

Experience With the Bureaucracy:

Legal proceedings can seem daunting to individuals in the midst of injury and loss. An experienced team of personal injury attorneys has been through the process countless times and has mastered the paperwork associated with a personal injury case. These documents are filled with complicated legal jargon and confusing medical terms that require a full understanding of the proper procedures and terminology. There are deadlines for filing your paperwork and your attorney will ensure that these forms are filed in a timely manner.

Attorney vs Attorney:

Your insurance company will most assuredly show up to court with a team of lawyers in tow and you want someone as experienced and knowledgeable on your side. An experienced personal injury attorney will not be intimidated by the insurance company or their lawyers, nor will they allow emotions to lead the way to accepting a less than optimal settlement. It takes years of experience to build up this confidence and to enter court on the offensive.

Access to Investigative Team:

When you hire an attorney, you are backed by an entire team of investigators who are specialized in their field and can examine your case for the unique information that will help you win your case. Your insurance company is also backed with such a team. Having these experts fighting for you is your best chance at a favorable outcome.

With the extreme complexities associated with a personal injury lawsuit, hiring an attorney with experience in personal injury law is crucial in order to protect your legal rights and ensure that your personal expenses are fairly compensated.
