Benefits Of Having The Representation of a Personal Injury Attorney |
Posted: May 9, 2019 |
Have you been injured due to someone else's negligence? Accidents can happen at any time, to anyone. After an accident, you may have a ton going on. You could be recovering from an injury or be dealing with long-term treatments due to medical negligence. If you have lost your job, there could be financial distress and worry. For some, the thought of hiring a Medical Malpractice Attorney or personal injury attorney, may not be at the top of their list of things to do, when dealing with financial strain and healing. But having an attorney has many benefits versus trying to settle on your own.
More Money For Your Injuries It is a statistical fact that having legal representation will get you more money for your injuries. The insurance companies will be very deceptive at trying to settle or pay medical bills. Any chance that they have to give less for your damages, they will take it. Attorneys will argue hard for your case, and not settle for less. While you may be tempted to compensate for the case to be over with, they can reassure you that you can get more out of your accident, malpractice, or wrongful death.
Less Stress Conversations back and forth with the insurance companies can be draining. You will have to fight to get the money you deserve. When you are trying to heal or manage money problems, having to argue for payment or a settlement to cover expenses can feel unmanageable. Instead of having to contact the insurance company directly, you can let your attorney deal with them. They will be at the forefront of negotiations and relay the information to you, and you can decide if a settlement offer is what you would like to do or pursue it further. In most cases, an attorney will tell you upfront whether or not the insurance company is trying to lowball you and that you should bring them to court if outside negotiations are dragging on.
Pay Nothing Upfront Unlike other fields of practice, personal injury attorneys typically don’t ask for money upfront or any money out of your own pocket. Instead, they work on a contingency fee. What this means is you pay nothing upfront, and they get paid only if they recover money for you. Typically the rate on most contingency fees is about ? of your settlement. When you consider that you would get substantially less without an attorney, it makes sense to have them do the work for you, and you concentrate on more important things.
