ATLANTA, GA, November 29, 2012 (Press-News.org) If you have suffered an injury due to the negligent actions of another, you may be entitled to receive compensation for your damages. Often, mounting medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, and lost wages due to time missed from work can be financially crippling. You will need an experienced personal injury lawyer on your side to make sure your rights are protected and you receive the compensation you deserve.
Personal Injury Attorney Roles
Throughout the duration of your case, your personal injury lawyer will handle critical aspects of the process for you. Responsibilities of your attorney may include:
- Collecting evidence for your case
- Investigating the details of your case
- Assessing the impact of your injury
- Communicating with other parties
- Ensuring proper completion of paperwork before important filing deadlines pass
The person who caused your injury will most likely have experienced legal representation trying to limit the amount of compensation you receive. It is important to level the playing field with high powered legal representation of your own. Your job should be to get better after your accident. Let your personal injury lawyer worry about recovering the compensation you deserve.
Fighting for You
If you attempt to handle your personal injury claim on your own, the insurance company may offer you an unfair settlement. After reviewing the details of your case, a skilled and experienced personal injury lawyer can inform you of the reasonable amount of compensation your case deserves, and he will aggressively pursue your case to trial if a fair settlement cannot be reached.
Personal injury law is complex and multi-faceted. You will need to make sure you work with an attorney who makes personal injury cases a primary focus of their practice to ensure they possess the extensive experience necessary to navigate this area of law knowledgeably.
You Have Nothing to Lose
When you work with an experienced personal injury lawyer, you have nothing to lose and everything to gain. Just about all reputable personal injury attorneys work on a contingency fee basis. This means they do not get paid unless you do. If you win your case, your lawyer will take a percentage of the recovery as his fee. If you lose, there is no fee.
The contingency fee structure places all of the risk on your attorney. In a sense, you have nothing to lose since you will not be required to pay costly legal fees if you do not recover compensation. However, by working with an attorney you will greatly increase your chances of a successful outcome to your case. Why risk your settlement by representing yourself when hiring a lawyer will not create any additional financial burdens for you and your family? Your ability to recover the compensation you deserve after your injury is too important to pursue your case without an experienced personal injury lawyer.
