In my experience, accident victims who choose to work with a personal injury lawyer obtain a more favorable settlement than victims who do not have legal representation. Although you might think you can handle your claim on your own, hiring an experienced personal injury attorney will considerably improve your chances of receiving maximum compensation for the injuries you have suffered.
What are the benefits of hiring a personal injury lawyer?
There are various financial and other benefits to hiring a personal injury lawyer. Here is a quick guide.
Higher Settlements
Statistics show that victims who hire personal injury lawyers usually receive higher settlements. Represented accident victims typically walk away with a much better settlement than they would have received without an attorney, even after paying their legal fees. Personal injury lawyers are uniquely equipped to handle these types of cases, which typically translates into more favorable settlements. Defendants also take cases more seriously when victims are represented by reputable personal injury attorneys.
Experience in Dealing With Personal Injury Cases
Personal injury lawyers handle these types of cases every day. This extensive experience means that personal injury attorneys have a thorough comprehension of the personal injury claim process and the legal theories involved in successfully arguing a personal injury case. Personal injury lawyers also have encountered many insurance company defense strategies and have likely devised their own methods of dealing with their deceptive tactics.
Professional Negotiation Skills
Personal injury lawyers are also skilled and trained negotiators, which means they are much better prepared to secure a favorable settlement than you are. The defendant will usually be represented by experienced insurance adjusters or litigation attorneys with comprehensive training on aggressive negotiation strategies. You will be much more likely to get a fair settlement if you also have an experienced personal injury lawyer handle the negotiations on your behalf.
Stress Reduction
Hiring a personal injury lawyer can also drastically reduce the amount of stress you experience during your case. Your attorney will manage every aspect of your personal injury claim, including handling the defendant’s insurance companies and lawyers, completing paperwork on your behalf, making phone calls, attending meetings, and negotiating a satisfactory settlement. This allows you to concentrate on recovering from your injuries instead of worrying about the minute details of your case.
