What comes to mind when you think of a personal injury lawyer? You might have a vague idea, but not everyone fully understands the scope of what these legal professionals do. In this article, we’ll provide clarity on this matter, focusing on the roles that personal injury attorneys at our law firm play when dealing with car accidents, slip and fall incidents, medical malpractice, and even dog bites.
No matter the nature of your accident, we believe everyone deserves adequate compensation after suffering an injury due to another’s negligence or wrongdoing. Here’s how our personal injury lawyers tirelessly strive to secure that for you.
Advocating for Your Rights Following an Accident
Personal injury lawyers, also known as civil litigators, are legal representatives that champion plaintiffs who claim physical or psychological harm resulting from negligent or intentional actions by another party. Each personal injury case is unique, but our lawyers have a general strategy for handling them: collect evidence, assess damages, and negotiate with the insurance company on your behalf. Here’s a closer look at these steps:
- Accident Investigation and Evidence Collection: Our attorneys will meticulously investigate the circumstances of the accident to gather the necessary evidence to support your claim.
- Damage Evaluation: We will assess the total value of your damages, including medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
- Negotiations with Insurance Company: We will negotiate with the insurance company on your behalf to secure a fair settlement for you.
- Filing a Lawsuit: If necessary, we are prepared to file a lawsuit on your behalf.
- Representation at Trial: Should your case go to trial, we will stand by your side and present your case with the utmost care and expertise.
- Appealing Verdicts: If necessary, we will fight to appeal an unfavorable verdict.
Determining Fault and Seeking Compensation
You might wonder what exactly a personal injury lawyer does following an accident. The primary task of our lawyers is to dissect the facts of your case to determine who was at fault. If the other party is responsible, we will negotiate with their insurance company to secure the compensation you are rightfully owed. If negotiation doesn’t result in a fair settlement, we are prepared to file a lawsuit against the at-fault party.
Filing Claims and Medical Record Collection
Our lawyers are seasoned professionals, well-versed in assisting clients to get compensated for injuries caused by someone else’s negligence. The first step is filing a claim with the responsible party’s insurance company. We then negotiate on your behalf to reach a settlement. If the insurance company is unwilling to negotiate or offers a low settlement, we are prepared to take the case to court.
An essential part of building your case is collecting your medical records. Although this process can be tedious, it’s crucial for us to have a comprehensive understanding of your injuries and how they’ve impacted your life.
Building and Presenting Your Case
With their extensive experience, our personal injury lawyers know how to construct a compelling case for you. They will gather evidence, interview witnesses, and use all resources available to secure the best possible outcome for you. Sometimes, this involves taking your case to trial. However, you can rest easy knowing that your lawyer will be at your side, advocating for your rights and fighting for the justice you deserve.
Negotiating with Insurance Companies and Appealing Verdicts
Our personal injury lawyers serve an essential role in the legal system. We help accident victims secure the compensation they deserve, often from insurance companies. Without our lawyers, insurance companies might take advantage of victims.
Our lawyers are also prepared to appeal a verdict if necessary. We strive to ensure you get the best possible outcome from your case. If an unfavorable verdict is given, we will work to protect your interests and appeal if needed.
As your personal injury attorneys, we are committed to helping you recover damages from those responsible for your injuries. Whether it involves filing a lawsuit, representing you in court, or appealing a verdict, you can trust us to be there every step of the way.
