If you have a personal injury case, the best thing you can do is work with an experienced attorney to help you get the compensation you deserve. If you’ve never hired a personal injury attorney, you may not know how they’ll be able to help you navigate the legal process. Here’s what you can expect once you find an attorney that you’re comfortable with.
They’ll Investigate Your Case When you work with a personal injury attorney like Howard Blau Law, they’ll need to investigate your case in detail. This means they’ll speak with you about what happened, contact witnesses that saw the accident and follow up with the insurance company to see where your claim is in their settlement process. If you’ve already received a settlement offer, they’ll review the offer in detail and compare it against the injuries you suffered. If it’s too small, they’ll represent your interests with the other party’s insurance provider to try to get you the compensation you need to focus on your recovery. They’ll Represent You in Court Though most personal injury cases settle out of court, yours may not. Your personal injury lawyer will be able to represent your case and argue on your behalf against the other party’s attorneys. They’ll use the facts and knowledge they gained through their investigation to show the court that the settlement offer is too low. They’ll also use their knowledge of personal injury law to argue for a larger, more appropriate settlement amount. Though many personal injury cases can settle out of court by working with the other party's insurance company, it's almost always worth working with an attorney. Remember, just because you believe a settlement amount is fair doesn't mean it's enough to help you cover the cost of your recovery. Hiring an attorney will give you access to an experienced professional who can help evaluate your case and represent your interests. Make sure you work with an attorney that you're comfortable with and who is well-versed in your type of case.
