When It’s Worth Hiring A Lawyer To Handle Your Personal Injury Claim
In many cases, the skills of an experienced personal injury attorney are well worth the investment. This is especially true when dealing with complex legal rules, severe injuries or uncooperative insurance companies. An experienced personal injury attorney can serve as a powerful advocate for you. Here are some scenarios where hiring a lawyer is particularly advisable.
Severe, Long-Term Or Permanently Disabling Injuries
Accidents resulting in long-term or permanent disabilities can drastically alter your life and livelihood. These injuries may affect your physical capabilities or appearance for an extended period. The impact may last a lifetime.
The amount of your accident compensation is largely based on the severity of your injuries. Estimating the full compensation for such significant injuries involves complex calculations of future medical needs, potential lost earnings and other compensable ripple effects. It may be necessary to work with experts such as life care planners, vocational experts and actuaries to prove the full financial impact of your injuries. Securing full compensation also requires quantifying the intangible impacts, such as pain and suffering. An experienced attorney can effectively address these complexities. Our accident injury lawyers have decades of experience in the personal injury field, so we know how to value claims and build compelling cases to support that valuation.
Wrongful Death Cases
When you’ve lost a loved one due to someone else’s negligence, the emotional and financial stakes are incredibly high. Wrongful death cases often involve substantial compensation, and there are different types of damages available in these cases than in other personal injury claims. Legal representation is crucial to handle the intricate aspects of these claims.
Toxic Exposure
In our modern world, toxic exposure claims are becoming more common. However, they remain difficult to prove due to the need for complex scientific evidence. Whether the exposure is from the air, soil, water, consumer products or other sources, these cases require a thorough understanding of both legal and scientific principles. And because the chemical and other industries have erected a huge wall to protect themselves from legal exposure while they continue to expose us to potentially harmful chemicals, the required evidence is very hard to come by. Get help from attorneys such as ours who understand how to pursue these nuanced claims.
Powerful Opponents
When the opposing party in a personal injury case is a business or a government entity, the legal challenges increase significantly. These organizations usually have access to extensive legal resources. What’s more, suing governmental entities involves special legal considerations that aren’t applicable to private businesses. A personal injury attorney with experience in these areas – such as ours – can level the playing field.
When Insurance Companies Refuse To Settle Fairly
Sometimes, regardless of the severity of your injury or the sum of your medical bills and lost income, an insurance company or opposing party may refuse to offer a fair settlement. In these situations, having a personal injury attorney can make the difference between receiving no compensation and securing a recovery that adequately covers your losses and compensates you for future expenses, even after legal fees. When insurance companies and opposing parties know that you have a lawyer, they are far more likely to play nice.
No Fees Unless We’re Successful
At the Law Offices of Mark B. Rubin, we take personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis. This means you won’t owe us any attorney fees unless we recover compensation for you. We handle the upfront costs of legal proceedings so that you can focus on your recovery without financial stress. Put simply, there is no risk to you – and potentially significant gains – by working with our lawyers on your claim.
