4 Critical Ways An Attorney Can Help you After an Injury Accident
If another party’s reckless and careless behavior led to an accident that hurt you, filing a personal injury claim could be a legal option to recover financial compensation for your damages. In your claim, you may include the costs of the medical expenses you incurred, your property damage, missed wages from time away from work, and more.
You don’t have to use a personal injury attorney to file a claim, but it is typically advisable to at least have your case reviewed by an attorney after your accident. Usually, with the help of a legal professional, claimants can get more from their claims than they can when they don’t use an attorney. There are several reasons for this, including an attorney’s experience and skill set.
Injured parties in New Jersey can meet with an attorney for free to have their cases evaluated. Our personal injury attorney at Monaco Law PC is dedicated to helping injured parties obtain the most compensation possible from their personal injury claims.
The Top 4 Benefits of Working with a Personal Injury Attorney
A lawyer can help injured parties in many ways, including advising them on their legal rights and advocating for them during the claims process so they are treated fairly and are fully compensated for the harm and losses they suffered. In specific, the following four critical benefits of working with an attorney after an injury accident include:
Investigating Your Case
To get the full scope of a case and to gather all of the relevant evidence that supports a case, a comprehensive and thorough investigation must be done. This may include watching surveillance footage, compiling pictures from the accident scene, or connecting with witnesses to discuss their account of what happened.
Calculating Accurate Compensation
An investigation can not only provide crucial evidence and information to build and support a claim, but it can also be used as a basis to calculate what your claim is worth. In addition to the economic costs like medical bills, there are likely also to be non-economic costs such as pain and suffering that a legal professional can identify and use their skills and knowledge to assign a tangible financial value. Also, it may be necessary to account for future costs related to the accident, and an attorney can figure out the totality of those costs.
Negotiations
Attorneys are trained and skilled in strategic negotiations, which can help you get the most from your claim. Attorneys also know the underhanded tactics that insurance adjusters use to devalue claims, and they can fight against such measures to protect a claimant’s interest.
Litigating in Court
It is not often that a personal injury claim will go to court, but every now and then, one does. When this happens, your attorney can represent you and litigate your case in court.
