Top Three Reasons to Hire an Injury Attorney

If you suffer injury in an auto accident, slip and fall or other type of accident, you should seek medical attention as soon as possible. Even if your injuries appear to be minor, you should still go to the hospital. However, do you really need an injury attorney to help you with your claim? By law, you are not required to hire a lawyer if you wish to file a lawsuit. However, doing so can greatly increase your chances of receiving a fair settlement. Below are the top three reasons you need an injury attorney.

  • The law is complicated — Anyone who has ever initiated a personal injury lawsuit can tell you this. As an injury victim, you should be focusing on your recovery, not on how to understand the law.
  • Insurance companies are not your friend — Do not make the mistake of thinking that insurance companies are on your side. In fact, insurers typically offer clients lowball settlements to make claims disappear quickly and cost effectively. A skilled attorney can review any offers you receive to determine if they are sufficient given the extent of your injuries.
  • A lawyer can fight for you in court — Most personal injury cases are resolved through settlement negotiations. However, every case is different and, in the event that your case goes to trial, your attorney can fight for you in court.
