What Are the Benefits of Hiring a Personal Injury Lawyer?
When you hire a personal injury attorney, you do so with the knowledge that upon recovering compensation for your injuries and other damages, you will have to pay legal fees.
For most injury accident victims, however, the benefits of having an attorney far outweigh the potential cost of representation.
These are just a few of the benefits that an experienced injury accident lawyer brings to the table.
Protecting Your Legal Rights
Having a California personal injury attorney on your side is the best way to help protect your legal rights. The California statute of limitations for personal injury provides only two years within which to file a lawsuit against the at-fault party.
If you don’t act within that prescribed period, you could lose your right to recover compensation.
Insurance companies can also look for ways to undervalue or deny your claim.
Insurers might even refuse to negotiate your claim in good faith. With an experienced attorney on your side, you can rest assured that they will be looking out for your best interest at all times.
Putting Their Resources to Work for You
The best personal injury lawyers—in California or anywhere else—have a substantial network of resources that they put to work for their clients.
Typically, this might include investigators, accident reconstruction specialists, subject matter experts, etc.
Your attorney will put all these resources on your case, enabling them to build the most persuasive case possible on your behalf.
Accepting Your Case on a Contingency Basis
Most personal injury attorneys do not require any upfront legal fees. After reviewing the details of your case, your attorney will provide you with their opinion of your chances for success.
If the attorney believes you have a valid cause of action, they will accept your case on a contingency fee basis.
This means that you owe no legal fees whatsoever until the attorney recovers compensation for you. At that time, the agreed-upon fee percentage and expenses are deducted from your settlement or award and you get the rest.
Maximizing Your Claim Value
Experienced attorneys know how to identify and value all your physical, emotional, and financial damages—and how to document them effectively.
This means your claim will carry the highest possible value. You need money to get you through this nightmare. You deserve to have an aggressive attorney fighting to get you every dollar.
Tips for Hiring a Personal Injury Lawyer
You will find countless injury accident lawyers in San Francisco and throughout northern California.
So many, in fact, that you might have trouble choosing the right one for you. Start by looking for an attorney who has direct experience in the type of injury accident you were involved in.
Some of the most common types of personal injury accidents include the following.
- Car accidents,
- Truck accidents,
- Bicycle accidents,
- Motorcycle accidents,
- Pedestrian accidents, and
- Workplace accidents.
Ask any potential attorney about their past results, specifically the settlements and awards they have obtained for their clients. Because your situation is unique, past case results won’t necessarily reflect on your outcome.
However, any experienced attorney’s track record and client testimonials will demonstrate how committed they are to getting the best possible outcome for their clients.
