Why do I need an Attorney?

Pursuing recovery for injuries and property damage is a legal process that requires the expertise and trial experience of a highly qualified injury attorney. Because of the many rules and complexities of a personal injury claim, do not attempt to handle your legal case on your own. In the hands of an experienced injury attorney, the settlement will generally be substantially higher, even after taking into account costs and fees.

After learning the nature and extent of your injures, an experienced injury attorney can assess the true value of your case, including compensation for pain and suffering, permanent injuries, lost wages and medical expenses.

An experienced injury attorney has the means, knowledge and drive to take your case to court and force the insurance company to give you the appropriate settlement that you are entitled to. If your attorney has a reputation for aggressive and creative courtroom advocacy, the chance of a fair pre-litigation settlement is greatly increased.

With an attorney at your side, you don't need to deal with any of the hassle, paperwork, headache and worry of dealing with insurance companies.

Helpful Tips

Always file a police report.

Go to a doctor as soon as possible and be very thorough in reporting your complaints and injuries. At the first appointment, tell your doctor all of your complaints from head to toe.

Preserve the evidenced of your injuries. Take photos of wounds, lacerations, bruises, and all other physical evidence of your injury. Remember to also take photos of the damage to your car, broken glass, skid marks, and if possible, the other party's car.

Keep a journal and write in it your daily experiences, restriction and pain. Over time, many important details will be forgotten; the journal will help preserve the evidence.

Follow the advice of your doctor and continue your medical treatment until you are released. If you stop going to the doctor, for whatever reason, the jury will most likely assume it is because you are no longer injured and are feeling fine. By following your doctor's advice, not only are you taking care of your health, but you are also aiding your attorney in proving the ongoing nature of your pain and suffering.
