Why Do I Need a Personal Injury Lawyer?

October 21, 2021 by Timberlake & League, P.C.

When you’ve been injured in an accident, it is best to seek the services of a personal injury lawyer. Following an injury, financial hardships such as hospital bills and personal bills can build up before your wounds even start to heal. Altogether, the stress can be simply overwhelming.

Personal injury lawyers will fight to get you the compensation you deserve to cover damages and ensure that responsible parties cover your long-term care expenses if you have lifelong complications due to the accident.

What is a personal injury lawyer?

We asked Attorney Will League this very question and he took a moment to record his answer. Watch the video below, then continue reading the blog to learn more about personal injury attorneys. 

Personal injury attorneys specialize in tort law, covering all civil cases for injuries or wrongdoing because of negligence. They assist people who have sustained injuries in accidents in recovering financial compensation.

This money can help pay for ongoing medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. The primary goal of injury lawyers is to make their clients whole again and discourage others from committing similar offenses.

What are their areas of practice?

Common examples of personal injury practice areas include:construction workers review site to avoid potential personal injuries

  • motor vehicle accidents
  • slip and fall accidents
  • construction site incidents
  • workplace injuries
  • defective products
  • medical malpractice

What will a personal injury lawyer do for you?

Provide Advice – A personal injury lawyer will guide you through all legal processes related to your claim. They will help you get through the piles of paperwork required in personal injury cases. In addition, attorneys explain complicated legal procedures and interpret legal, medical, and insurance jargon.

Explain Your Rights – A personal injury lawyer will explain how an accident and different legal issues affect your rights. For instance, statutes of limitations and comparative negligence are two areas that might influence your best options. 

→ Statute of limitations impose time limits for when an injury victim must file a lawsuit. 

→ Comparative negligence determines whether a person can sue if partially at fault for the accident and how much that person can recover.

If this occurs, then a civil trial may be the only way to resolve the matter and receive compensation. 

“We listen, we identify [client’s] issues, and try to shepherd them in the right direction. Oftentimes that’s without litigation, and sometimes it’s going in and filing a lawsuit.”

How to Hire a Personal Injury Lawyer

Don’t attempt to tackle your case’s negotiations and legal aspects on your own. Lawyers have the skills, knowledge, and resources to get you what you deserve.

Furthermore, personal injury lawyers have the means to connect with medical providers, hire investigators to interview witnesses and document the scene of the injury, and deliver a more accurate assessment of the long-term effects of injuries.
