The Benefits of Hiring an Experienced Personal Injury Attorney
Chip Gaskill • September 11, 2019
Experiencing an accident in which you were injured can be daunting, confusing, and time-consuming. That’s why it’s imperative to hire an experienced Personal Injury Attorney to guide you through the process and to help ensure you receive all the compensation you deserve.
All Personal Injury cases should be taken seriously, whether an auto accident, work-related injury, nursing home abuse, slip and fall, or other type of injury. There are many issues to address after an accident, including medical care, medical expenses, loss of work, dealing with your insurance company and the insurance company of the at-fault person or entity.
When you hire an experienced Personal Injury attorney, you reap the following benefits:
You Increase Your Injury Compensation
The top reason to hire an experienced Personal Injury attorney is to increase your chances of obtaining the highest amount of compensation possible.
Your attorney will help you with that goal so at least your financial obligations after the accident are minimal to non-existent.
Injured parties with Personal Injury claims often receive larger settlements than those without legal representation. This is true even after attorney fees are calculated into the final insurance payments.
Your Lawyer Opposes and Communicates with the Insurance Company
Dealing with insurance companies on your own, especially while recovering, can get incredibly overwhelming. When you hire an experienced Personal Injury attorney, that burden no longer rests on your shoulders.
In addition, not only will the lawyer you hire communicate with the insurance companies, the insurance company should not contact you once they know you have representation. Eliminating this task makes the process of settling your claim a whole lot easier.
Most importantly, legal professionals who have vast experience with Personal Injury claims know how to oppose strategies insurance companies use to devalue significant and reasonable claims – and they are not afraid to do so.
You Avoid Paying for Medical Expenses Upfront
While you are recovering, the last thing you want to worry about is paying for extensive and mounting medical bills. You may even receive a hospital lien within days or weeks of leaving the emergency room or hospital. When you hire a Personal Injury lawyer, he or she can help facilitate letters of protection and letters of representation that assure providers that they will be paid at the time you settle your case. This alleviates the financial pressure you may already feel soon after you get medical care.
