Why Hiring a Personal Injury Lawyer Is Important

Imagine being involved in an accident. You gather the right information, take pictures of the scene, and do everything you feel is necessary after an accident. Unfortunately, you go to file a claim with the insurance company, but your claim is disputed.

This is a situation that happens often, and it generally stems from the insurance company’s desire to pay out as little as possible to the injured party, regardless of whether their policyholder was negligent and has the coverage necessary to pay out these claims.

As a result, you may receive a settlement offer from the insurance company that is inadequate for the damages you sustained. This makes it critical to hire a lawyer to help when it comes to pursuing a lawsuit against the negligent party.

A Lawyer Has Access to Resources to Help Your Case

When it comes to pursuing a personal injury claim against someone who caused you harm, there are a number of factors that need to be considered to prove that negligence existed.

Contact us today at (850) 629-7226 to schedule your free initial consultation and find out what you may be entitled to.

Liability typically relies on four underlying factors, including:

  • A duty of care: It must be shown that the negligent driver owed you a reasonable duty of care.
  • A breach in the duty of care: It must be shown that the driver breached that duty of care by acting in a reckless manner (e.g., drinking and driving, distracted driving, etc.)
  • A breach led to an accident: It must be shown that the breach in the duty of care directly resulted in an accident.
  • An accident led to the injury: It must be shown that the injury sustained was a direct result of the accident.

In order to prove these things, certain resources are needed. For instance, a lawyer can help you obtain medical records proving the injury, as well as accident reports detailing that the defendant was negligent in their actions and caused the accident.

Having a lawyer also means having access to:

  • Expert witnesses,
  • Medical professionals
  • Accident reconstructionists
  • And more

This can help you build a strong case moving forward.

Types of Personal Injury Damages

The first question most people ask an attorney is, “How much is my case worth?” The answer, however, is not as easy as you may think. The circumstances surrounding your injury, the extent of your physical and emotional suffering, and the amount of financial losses from medical bills, lost wages, and other costs you've incurred as a result of the injury all play a part in calculating the amount of damages you will be able to seek in your case.

The experienced attorney at Shapiro Law Firm, P.A. is familiar with the many types of damages that can be sought in accident injury cases.

Depending on the type of accident injury you sustained, you may be able to recover money for all of the following:

  • Medical bills
  • Lost wages (past and future)
  • Property damage

Hiring a Tallahassee Personal Injury Lawyer

Working with a lawyer is important if you are injured in any type of accident. Here are some preliminary steps that you need to go through when looking for and hiring a qualified attorney to help you.

Have an Initial Consultation

Most personal injury attorneys will want to sit down with you for an initial consultation. Make sure you take full advantage of this. It might even be best to prepare some questions that you want to ask your attorney. From there, your lawyer can help you determine what your approach should be and what your best options are.

Review Their Experience

You want to make sure that you are working with a lawyer who is qualified and has very specific and relevant experience. After reviewing your case details, your lawyer should be able to cite specific examples of when they worked with a client or multiple clients in similar situations.

Know Whether You Should File Suit

There may be instances where filing a lawsuit is not your best option. There may be another way to go about getting the financial compensation you deserve. A personal injury lawyer will always be able to tell you whether your case is worth fighting. In some cases, the costs to you will be too extensive, while in other cases, the fight is very likely to be worth it. An attorney is the best person to identify weaknesses in your case and come up with a winning strategy.

Protecting Your Rights from Unscrupulous Insurance Companies

Far too often, insurance companies are looking out for their own profits. They’re not looking to help injured individuals with rightful payouts. Instead, they offer low settlements in hopes of avoiding long, contentious court proceedings.

Should you decline to accept this offer and go to trial, the insurance company often tries to use their large legal teams in an attempt to turn the case around and put the fault on you. This is a violation of your rights as an injured individual, and you deserve the right to protect your best interests.

Hiring a lawyer helps you combat the tactics often used by insurance companies and can position you in a manner that focuses on helping you succeed. You can feel confidence knowing that you have a legal advocate in your corner prepared to stand up for what’s right for you.
