DO YOU HAVE A PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM??
If you have been injured in an accident that was not your own fault, but was the fault of someone else, you may have a personal injury claim. Your personal injury claim can help you recover for the damages that you sustained as a result of the accident. Your damages may include: medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, disfigurement, or permanent disability. Bringing a personal injury claim does not mean that you are ‘suing’ anyone or filing suit in court. Most personal injury claims are filed with an insurance company and are settled without the necessity of litigation or going to the court room.
HOW CAN AN ATTORNEY HELP YOU WITH YOUR PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM?
Most of us, if we are lucky, may only have one, or may never have a personal injury claim during our lifetime. The adjusters at insurance companies are trained in handling claims and some have many years of experience in doing so. Therefore, an insurance company has much more experience than you are likely to have in handling your own claim. It is only sensible in situations in which you are not experienced, that you ask someone with experience for help. Insurance companies know that you are probably not experienced in handling claims, and they are also quite aware that an attorney is experienced in this area. An attorney can help you in filing your claim, collecting your own personal injury protection benefits, aiding you in interactions with medical providers, insuring your bills are paid, and many other aspects of your personal injury claim. Using the services of an attorney will help to insure that your interests are protected and that your claim is not undervalued. Fortunately, most personal injury cases are taken by attorneys on a contingency fee basis, which means that you owe the attorney a fee only if the attorney recovers on your behalf.
