In fact, in mst cases, it is t yur benefit t have a lawyer handle yur case. Here are 5 benefits t having a persnal injury lawyer represent yu.
This may sund bvius, but many peple think that they knw just as much as a lawyer and that a lawyer just cllects the mney. That is simply nt true. Just because yu have been injured desn't mean that yu are entitled t full cmpensatin fr yur injuries. Few states recgnize cntributry negligence nwadays, but cntributry negligence says that if yu even slightly cntributed t a car accident, yu are nt entitled t cmpensatin. Mst states recgnize sme frm f cmparative negligence which allws yu t receive at least sme cmpensatin fr yur injuries depending n yur invlvement in the car accident.
Anther prtin f persnal injury law is knwing what persnal injury claims t which a persn is entitled. There are a lt f pssible claims, many f which a nn-lawyer desn't think abut.
Yu benefit by the lawyer knwing persnal injury law in that an insurance adjuster cannt BS r misrepresent the law in trying t cnvince yu that yu will nt receive cmpensatin t which yu may really be entitled.
2. A Persnal Injury Attrney Knws Insurance Law.
This may sund like it desn't make a difference, but it can make a dramatic difference. Fr example, an insurance plicy may prvide fr a benefit f $20,000 t an injured persn. The insurance adjusted tells yu that he will give yu the entire $20,000 since yu have a gd persnal injury claim. What the insurance adjuster des nt tell yu is that there may be ways under state law that yu can receive mre. Fr instance, sme states allw "stacking" f insurance plicies in certain circumstances and this means that yu can receive mre cmpensatin.
Yu benefit by a persnal injury lawyer knwing if state laws entitle yu t mre cmpensatin fr yur injuries than is apparent.
3. Persnal Injury Attrneys Knw Apprximate Values f Injuries
Experienced lawyers have handled a number f cases and have a gd idea f what mst injuries are wrth. Als, persnal injury lawyers knw what facts may increase r decrease the amunt f cmpensatin t which yu are entitled. By virtue f the attrneys' experience, insurance adjusters and lawyers cannt BS r misrepresent the value f a persnal injury claim.
4. A Persnal Injury Lawyer Will G T Curt.
Insurance adjusters knw that if a case ges t curt, the insurance cmpany culd be frced t pay a lt mre that they want t pay. The adjusters als knw that if yu are representing yurself, it will be difficult fr yu t g t curt. They knw that a persnal injury attrney will g t curt. Therefre, the adjusters have t be mre realistic in what they ffer yu as cmpensatin fr yur persnal injuries.
5. Persnal Injury Lawyers Generally Increase The Value f A Case.
Basically fr all f the reasns stated abve, insurance adjusters will ffer mre cmpensatin when a lawyer is representing yu. Sme peple will tell yu that the increased cmpensatin amunt is ffset by having t pay a lawyer. S yu end up with the same amunt in the end. Smetimes that is true, but in many cases, because f his/her knwledge and experience, a persnal injury lawyer will recver mre than enugh fr yur persnal injury claims t ffset the attrney fee.
I cannt and d nt vuch fr the experience r effectiveness f any persnal injury lawyer. The abve is merely a guide as t what yu may expect. Als, the results f any case may be vary frm lawyer t lawyer.
