WHY HIRE A PERSONAL INJURY LAWYER?

Many folks who end up in car accidents find themselves wondering if they should settle the case on their own. Well, here’s what you’re looking at if you do decide to go down the DIY route: a low and/or unfair settlement, the insurance company trying to do a number on you (they usually do), no compensation for time taken off from work, undue frustration etc.

By hiring a personal injury lawyer, you will never be left wondering what becomes of your case. You’ll know exactly what the appropriate settlement should be, for one thing.

A personal injury lawyer is also equipped to take care of certain upfront costs; you don’t want the insurance adjuster digging deep into your pockets before the case is even heard.

What Insurance Companies Don’t Tell You

Insurance companies like to keep a check on which attorneys are aggressive and willing to take a case to trial, and which ones tend to shy away from taking it to court. An experienced trial attorney will fight tooth and nail to get you the settlement you deserve.

Always make sure your personal injury attorney is board-certified and has the experience to take on ANY kind of personal injury case at all; they should not be intimidated by the likes of pushy insurance companies who coax lawyers not to file a lawsuit. Make sure your attorney has a proven track record of winning cases in bench and jury trials. Successful and highly sought-after attorneys can win their clients millions of dollars as a result.

A study performed by the Insurance Research Council suggests that settlements were higher with attorney representation than those without representation; on average, the payouts were 3.5 times higher for clients who hired an attorney than those without one.

You have every reason to fight for the highest settlement. There is a lot to lose when it comes to settling your case because once you sign that release, there is no going back – even if the pain and bad memories come flooding back.

Why Hire a Personal Injury Lawyer?

There’s no reason to go it alone and venture into the unknown. Do a little research and look for nationally recognized law firms which have represented Texans and other plaintiffs all over the United States.

They should have expert-level knowledge of personal injury law, court procedure, and jury selection, which would ultimately translate into successfully closing your case.
