Three Reasons to Hire a Personal Injury Lawyer
PR Newswire Association LLC |
Knowledge
Personal injury laws vary by state, and individual situation. Unless an individual is a law student or personal injury professional, they are likely unfamiliar with all the laws pertaining to personal injury claims. Most
Negotiation Skills
Having knowledge of personal injury laws is imperative to receiving fair compensation from an insurance company. Because insurance companies can profit by undercompensating injured persons, many companies will automatically offer a lower settlement to persons not working with a personal injury attorney. For this reason, many people opt to hire personal injury lawyers even before they have been offered a settlement.
Fair Representation
Still, many others only hire a personal injury attorney when they seek to dispute a claim. For example, if an individual has been offered a personal injury settlement they believe is unfair, a personal injury attorney can dispute this settlement in a court of law. The majority of personal injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they take a percentage?typically one-third to 40%?of the final settlement amount. In addition to the contingency fee, you could be liable for court fees and related expenses. Be sure to inquire about all fees and expenses prior to hiring a personal injury attorney.
