Why Do I Need to Hire a Lawyer for My Personal Injury Claim?
When you have been injured in an accident, you may qualify for full compensation for all of the harm that you have suffered. The determined Colorado personal injury attorneys at The Frickey Law Firm can represent you in the legal process.
In a personal injury case, there is likely going to be at least one insurance company on the other side of the table. Further, there are many things that you would need to do between the time of your injury and when you would receive a settlement check that you would not be able to handle by yourself. Turn to a personal injury lawyer at the Frickey Law Firm to fight for you to get the best result in your case.
You can take the first step to potential financial compensation by contacting the personal injury lawyers at 303-237-7373 at The Frickey Law Firm. We can discuss your case during a free initial consultation and discuss the next steps in your case. The lawyers at The Frickey Law Firm are very experienced and specialize in this area of the law. They are results driven and are focused on maximizing the value of your personal injury claim.
Perhaps your most compelling reason to hire a personal injury attorney for your case is that it could lead to more money for you. Even after you pay your personal injury lawyer their share of your financial recovery, chances are that you would still end up with more money in your pocket than if you tried to represent yourself in the legal process. Studies show that people who hire a lawyer get 3.5 times more money than if they represent themselves. The insurance company does not want you to hire a lawyer, why? Because if you do, they will likely pay significantly more.
A Personal Injury Attorney Has Better Resources to Investigate Your Claim
When you have been injured in an accident, your goal in the legal process is twofold; you want to qualify for financial compensation and receive all of the money that you are due. Before you can receive this money, there are many steps that you need to follow.
Along the way, you are dealing with an insurance company whose interests are opposed to yours. They are not inclined to pay you the full value of your claim because it costs them more money. The insurance company wants to pay you the least amount they can. An experienced attorney can build your case and force the insurance company to pay more for your injuries.
There are key phases in any personal injury case, and your attorney’s work and financial resources will be vital to you:
- You must gather evidence that shows that someone else was negligent, and thus has the legal obligation to pay you
- You must quantify the amount of your damages and fight to get a settlement check (or jury award) that fully pays you for your injuries.
- You may need to hire an accident reconstructionist or investigator to prove how the accident actually occurred
- You may need to hire your own medical expert that can outline the true extent of your injuries.
- You may need to hire an expert that can document the true future earning loss as a result of your accident and ongoing injuries.
Any experienced attorney at The Frickey Law Firm can help build your case and force the insurance company to pay a fair settlement. A personal injury attorney would get to the bottom of your evidence, with the aim of gathering the proof you need to win your case.
A Personal Injury Attorney Quantifies Your Damages and Fights for Your Compensation
You need to know exactly how much to ask for when you are filing a claim or lawsuit. The problem is that many of the damages that you are claiming may be subject to different interpretations and disputes. For example, subjective non-economic harms, such as pain and suffering, comprise a large part of your personal injury claim. On your own, you may have no idea how to understand and quantify these concepts. Then, you would be in a position of trusting the insurance company to offer you the right amount of money, which is something they would certainly not do without being pushed by an aggressive personal injury attorney.
Most of all, you need someone with knowledge and experience to guide you through the personal injury claims process. You would likely have a fair amount of questions about your legal rights and how your case may unfold. A personal injury attorney would not only explain what you are facing, but they would also build your case and fight to get you the maximum compensation.
