Suffering a personal injury accident is a life-changing event for victims, leaving them with medical bills, loss of earning capacity, and in many cases, emotional distress. For many, navigating the legal system alone can feel like an impossible road to navigate, especially during the recovery process. So the difference between going it alone and having an experienced attorney is abysmal, and here’s why.
Before: You’d have to face insurance companies alone
Insurance companies are generally more interested in protecting themselves than in fairly compensating accident victims. Without proper legal representation, you could feel pressured into a lowball settlement offer that doesn’t cover all of your expenses and isn’t fair.
After: An attorney can help you negotiate and defend your rights
An experienced personal injury attorney knows how to defend your rights in the face of these tactics. They’ll help you gather evidence, negotiate, and fight for your rights. Insurance Research Council (IRC) studies reveal that people with legal representation receive 3.5 times higher settlements than those who handle their claims independently.
Before: You must fight to prove the truth of your case
Personal injury cases require a lot of documentation and experience to know precisely what is needed. From proving the guilty party’s negligence to calculating each of the damages, the burden of gathering the necessary evidence can be overwhelming for someone without experience with these cases. Victims often have a difficult time gathering the necessary evidence on their own, especially when they are recovering from one or more injuries.
After: An attorney will prepare your case with solid evidence
An attorney will handle all aspects of your case, from investigating the accident and its details to consulting with experts who can give testimony so that the case and its credibility are prepared. On the other hand, attorneys can also anticipate and counter-defense strategies, which significantly strengthen your claim to obtain justice.
