HOW A PERSONAL INJURY LAWYER CAN HELP YOU

By Kendall Jenkins on 2021-11-06 09:50:00

For those times when you have been involved in a serious accident and have become injured as a result, you need the help of an expert personal injury lawyer for the purpose of handling your case. They will be able to help you if you have been involved in a road traffic accident and require compensation in order to cover the medical bills and lost income that you have experienced as a result of the injuries that you sustained. A good personal injury lawyer will be able to help you with more than just vehicle collisions and can be of assistance for a wide range of accidents. The team at Tate Law Offices are great at providing legal advice on a wide range of personal injury cases.

They can protect you

No matter if you have been injured through use of a faulty product or whether it has happened as the result of being involved in a road traffic accident, it is important that you focus all of your efforts on recovering, both physically and mentally. Whilst you do this, a personal injury lawyer will focus on putting a case together and protecting your rights legally. They will do what they can to allow you to focus on your recovery and be free from any distractions. 

For instance, as medical bills start to come in and pile up, hospital administrators will want them paying as soon as possible. A personal injury lawyer will handle all of these bills for you so there is no need for you to worry about paying them. They will also answer any questions that are asked by police officers investigating your accident, deal with insurance companies, and any other parties that were involved. 

Although it may be the case that you are more than able to answer these questions and queries all by yourself without any issues, doing this is much easier with the help of a personal injury lawyer by your side. This is especially true when you have experienced head trauma and still may be confused or unclear as to what happened exactly. A good personal injury lawyer will be vigilant throughout your case, all the way up until you receive compensation for your injuries. 

They can advise you

A personal injury lawyer will do what they can to advise you on how to best protect your legal rights. Although this may sound like a simple thing to do, it is actually incredibly complicated and requires a certain level of experience and foresight in order to preempt things before issues arise and then take action to resolve them.

Where you have been injured by the actions of another party, you will likely be entitled to some amount of compensation to cover the financial and emotional cost of the injuries that you have sustained. A personal injury lawyer can advise you on the relevant steps that you need to take as part of the process of putting forward a personal injury case. If required, where the insurance company of the guilty party is not playing ball, they will also represent you as your case goes to court. 

Whenever your personal injury lawyer discusses your case with you, they will actively listen to what it is you say, taking on board all of the information and facts presented, and asking for clarification when and where necessary. The questions that they ask will be relevant to your accident and your case so that they can extra key information from you. Armed with all of this information, a personal injury lawyer will be able to provide you with the best possible advice.

For instance, if you were involved in a road traffic collision, your personal injury lawyer will ask about the specific details of the accident, such as what color were the traffic lights? Were there any visible traffic signals? What was the speed limit? What speed were you travelling at? Etc. However, if you were injured in a fall or slip accident, they would want to know about the lighting in the premises where it happened, what type of shoes you were wearing, and if there were any clear and obvious trip hazards. With all of this information, a personal injury lawyer can provide you with the best possible advice for your particular case. 

They can perform investigations

An important part of any personal injury case is the investigation process and the recovery / discovery of evidence. As part of this, they may bring in expert witnesses and go through things such as closed circuit television (CCTV).

Whilst some personal injury lawyers perform in person and on site investigations, others bring in specialist investigators in order to do this work on their behalf. As part of this process, interviews are performed with witnesses, photographs and videos of the scene of the accident are taken, police reports are sourced, and reviews of premises / vehicles etc. are done in order to obtain important pieces of evidence. All of these things are really important for the success of a personal injury case - this is especially true if it goes to trial.

In addition to evidence gathering investigation, a personal injury lawyer will also complete all of the required paperwork and documentation so that you get the compensation that you deserve for the injuries you sustained. This is particularly important for covering the cost of medical bills and loss of income through your injuries. 

They can liaise with insurance companies

No matter what type of accident you experience, it is likely to be the case that a single or even multiple different insurance companies are involved in your personal injury case. For instance, if you fall or slip in a grocery store then you will only have a single insurance company to deal with (that of the grocery store), whereas if you are involved in a large multi car pile up on the highway, then there will no doubt be a number off different insurance companies to contend with. A personal injury lawyer can deal with all of these on your behalf.
