Do I need a Personal Injury Lawyer?

Every day, people sustain injuries for various reasons— car accidents, slip and fall accidents, chemical burns, or medical negligence are just a few ways someone may be injured. Victims of personal injuries endure consequences, which range from hefty medical bills and lost wages to serious injury and disability.

You may be entitled to compensation if you’ve sustained an injury due to someone else’s negligence. Personal injury law allows the injured party to file an insurance claim or a lawsuit to recover the damages from the liable party.

Consider engaging a trusted personal injury attorney at The Barnes Firm who can offer legal advice and support in pursuing a fair settlement amount. Our attorneys have over 100 years of combined experience representing accident victims and will work diligently on your behalf in order to help you get the best result possible. 

Why You Need a Personal Injury Lawyer

Enhanced Negotiation Skills

Obtaining fair compensation for your injuries and damages is the primary role of a personal injury lawyer. Personal injury attorneys must negotiate with the insurance company, which is not a seamless process, as insurance companies use numerous tactics to convince victims that their claims are worth much less than what they truly deserve.

In most cases, an insurance company will present a low offer, hoping the victims will become frustrated and accept the proposal. Unfortunately, handling the claim is a tricky balancing act when recovering from the injury.

However, when you retain an experienced personal injury attorney, they can negotiate with an insurance company on your behalf and guide you through the legal process. 

Speed Up the Claim

Most victims have limited resources to handle an insurance claim when their top priority is recovering from an injury. Unfortunately, it often delays their attempts to receive compensation. However, a personal injury attorney can handle the claim, ensuring you obtain a timely settlement to facilitate your recovery.

A Personal Injury Attorney is Experienced and Objective

The physical pain and emotional anguish of a personal injury make it difficult to deal with a personal injury claim with a level head. A personal injury attorney works independently and per professional ethics, allowing them to offer objective legal advice and support.

In addition, an attorney is highly skilled and experienced, allowing them to handle the claim in a manner that helps you get the best result possible. 

Maximize Your Settlement Amount

If you suffer a severe injury, you may need additional resources to recover lost productivity, physical strength, and mental health. In other instances, a minor injury may become a complication if improperly treated.

A personal injury attorney can gather supporting evidence to prove the extent of injuries. They can also demonstrate the present and anticipated damages related to your injuries.

As a result, an attorney can help you recover the following damages:

• Lost income
• Medical expenses
• Loss of companionship
• Emotional distress
• Pain and suffering
• Reduced quality of life
