Access to Knowledge of the Law

Personal injury lawyers are well-versed in personal injury laws. They know the burden of proof to show someone else is responsible for your injuries, the impact of your own fault on the case, and the deadline you have to file a claim. Knowing this key information can help protect your legal rights throughout the personal injury claim process.

Protection from the Insurance Company

The insurance company may try to take advantage of personal injury victims who are not represented by legal counsel. Many laypeople are unaware of the specific laws that apply to their case, a fact that insurance companies may use to try to mislead them.

Insurance companies may attempt to obtain recorded statements from accident victims, which they can use against them. They may also send them medical release forms to get victims to sign away their confidential right to their private medical information, trying to pin current injuries on a previous accident. They may also attempt to pressure accident victims into accepting settlements that are significantly below their case value.

An experienced personal injury attorney can protect your interests from these insurance companies, serving as your advocate. When a lawyer represents you, the insurance company or defendant should not make direct contact with you.

Ability to Prove Who Is Responsible for Your Injuries

After a personal injury incident, it may not always be clear how the accident occurred or who is responsible for it. Personal injury attorneys can preserve time-sensitive evidence and conduct a thorough investigation of the accident to determine liability.

They use various legal theories to hold negligent parties accountable for the harm they’ve caused, including premises liability, product liability, or breach of warranty.

Ability to Prove the Full Extent of Your Injuries

Many personal injury victims drastically underestimate the value of their legal claim. They may fail to consider the long-term impact of their injuries or may not realize something they can include in their personal injury claim.

An experienced personal injury attorney will know what type of evidence is necessary to prove the full extent of your injuries. In some cases, we may work with medical experts and economists who can discuss your long-term needs.

Management of Deadlines and Insurance Claims

Personal injury lawyers can manage communications and claim filings with insurance companies to ensure a smooth process. They can also keep you informed of relevant deadlines in your case so you can take prompt legal action to protect your legal rights.

Strong Negotiation and Litigation Skills

Personal injury attorneys negotiate regularly. Having a lawyer on your side ensures that you negotiate from a position of strength. If the insurance company doesn’t agree to a fair settlement, your personal injury attorney can proceed by filing a lawsuit to demand the financial compensation you deserve.

Your lawyer will understand the rules and procedures involved in litigation to protect your rights.
