When Defective Products Are Involved If your injury was caused by a defective product, you need a personal injury attorney. A lot goes into the creation of a product, and without an attorney, it’s impossible to know who’s truly responsible for your injuries. A product can be designed, manufactured, or marketed incorrectly. Without experienced legal assistance, you risk going after the wrong party and wasting both time and money. If You Have to Communicate With Insurance Companies Insurance companies go hard when it comes to injury claims. They have spent an enormous amount of time and money learning how to talk victims into low settlements in exchange for liability waivers. No matter how determined you are to get a fair settlement or how much research you have put into the financial value of your injuries, you are unlikely to out-negotiate an insurance company and their legal team. Usually, the only way to get them to negotiate in good faith is to bring an attorney into the mix. With an attorney present, they know that their usual techniques won’t work. They’re more likely to negotiate fairly just to get the claim settled and off their plates. Insurance companies are the main party you communicate with in car accident cases, slip and fall cases, and dog bite cases. When You Don’t Know How Much Compensation You Deserve Figuring out the financial value of an injury is difficult. This amount includes your medical bills, but it should go beyond that. In the course of an injury, you suffer many small, repeated losses: a day off of work without pay, a trip across three cities to get to physical therapy, a prescription co-pay, an unsightly scar that makes you self-conscious, and so on. A truly fair settlement should account for all of the losses, both small and large, that you have suffered as the result of someone else’s negligence or malice. This is one area where an attorney is very helpful. They know how much different injuries are generally worth, and they know which questions to ask to figure out just how much an accident has impacted your life. This leads to a more accurate assessment of a fair settlement amount. In Cases Where You Aren’t Sure Who Is At Fault Many personal injury claims involve multiple at-fault parties. In these situations, it can be difficult to know who you should go after and how much you should ask for. Making the wrong move leads to wasted time and money, both of which you don’t have a lot of when you’re dealing with a serious injury. Maybe you were in a car accident with three other vehicles, and you aren’t sure who’s really to blame. Perhaps you were injured by a faulty product but you don’t know if the store, manufacturer, or marketing firm is at fault. Maybe you slipped and fell outside a store, but the store owner and thee property owner are both pointing you toward the other for compensation. Hire an attorney to sort it all out. If a Commercial Party is Involved Stores, businesses, and other commercial entities often have sizable legal teams on their side. That’s why, if your claim is against a commercial party, you absolutely need a personal injury lawyer. Without your own representative, you may find your claim downplayed, devalued, or completely ignored. Coping with the Physical and Emotional Impact of a Personal Injury Make Sure You Have Trusted Loved Ones Nearby Depending on the severity of your accident, you may need significant help getting around and taking care of yourself as you heal from your injuries. Many people refuse to ask for help, either due to pride or not wanting to impose on others. However, pushing yourself too far and trying to do everything on your own can actually delay the healing process and leave you with lingering pain and mobility issues. If you worry about imposing on loved ones, consider having them help on a rotating schedule. This ensures that you aren’t relying on one for everything and pushing them toward burnout. If you do not live near friends and family, find out if an in-home health aide might be an option for you. These costs are often covered in a personal injury settlement. Take It Day by Day Mentally and emotionally, the toll of a personal injury can be massive. If you lose much of your mobility and independence in the blink of an eye, trying to see the path back to a normal life might be overwhelming. Try to keep yourself from thinking too far in the future. It can make taking small steps toward recovery each day that much harder. Instead, focus on what you can do on this day to aid your recovery. Trust Your Health Care Providers If your injuries are severe or affect multiple body systems, you could have quite a sizable health care team. Regardless of whether you are under the care of one doctor or a dozen, make sure you are taking their advice seriously. They may prescribe medications, exercises you need to do, or tests you need to get done on a regular basis. Do whatever you must to follow their care recommendations. Not only is this imperative for your health, the future of your personal injury claim is also dependent on whether or not you follow care recommendations. Ensure You Are Taking Steps Toward Justice Facing the legal side of an accident can be scary, but it is a necessary step of fighting for your rights. The sooner you hire a personal injury attorney to handle your case, the sooner you can check that off your to-do list and stop worrying about it. Furthermore, getting a personal injury settlement can help you meet your physical and mental health needs. When you don’t have to worry about how you’re going to pay for counseling, in-home care, or physical therapy, you’re much more likely to get the support you need to heal. Dealing with a sudden negligence-related injury can lead to many unanswered questions and pressing concerns. We can provide you with the answers and guidance you need to move forward with your case with all the information you need. We wish to help you get back on your feet as quickly as possible and move forward in life with confidence.
