If You are Injured, Here are Some Benefits of Hiring a Car Accident attorney

It can be very overwhelming to be injured in an accident. You don't expect to be in an accident and sustain injuries because of negligence or other wrongdoings. Accidents can cause more than just injuries. Many victims are left with financial hardships due to the loss of work and the medical expenses resulting from the accident.

An experienced personal injury attorney can help you get compensation for your injuries and relieve the pressure of handling an insurance claim. There are many benefits to hiring a personal injury lawyer to help you with your accident claim.

There are four main benefits to hiring an attorney following an injury:

#1. Protection From Insurance Company Unfairness

A Miami car accident attorney can help you focus on your recovery and not dealing with the insurance company or claims adjuster.

Insurance adjusters may pressure victims of accidents to give statements and sign releases. This is not in their best interests. An adjuster might also press an accident victim into settling a claim before the victim fully understands the extent of the injuries and damages.

An attorney helps prevent the insurance company from putting undue pressure upon accident victims. An attorney protects the insurance company from exploiting accident victims when they are vulnerable. Your attorney will help you avoid mistakes that could reduce your chances of obtaining full compensation for your losses, injuries, and damages.

#2. Understanding the Legal Requirements to Prove Liability

Your attorney will be able to explain what evidence is needed to prove fault or liability under various laws relating to injuries and accidents. The law that applies to your case may have different legal elements. Your attorney will conduct the investigation to determine the responsible party or parties, and gather evidence to support your claim.

Our personal injury lawyer has extensive experience in handling cases involving personal injuries. We are familiar with the legal requirements to prove fault in cases that involve:

• • Premises liability claims (falls or injuries due to hazardous property conditions)
• • Medical malpractice
  • Wrongful death
• • Products that are dangerous or defective
• • General negligence claims (i.e. motor vehicle accidents, nursing home abuse and animal attacks, burns.

#3. Makes Sure Your Injury Claim is Correctly Valued

It can be hard to determine the value of your personal injury claim, especially if it is not something you are familiar with. Your insurance company will settle your claim for as little money as possible. If you receive less than what your claim is worth, the claims adjuster will not tell you.

An attorney for personal injury calculates the value to your case based on your financial losses as well as non-economic damages. An attorney will know how to best use evidence in your case to maximize noneconomic or pain-and-suffering damages.

The following damages are usually included in a personal injuries claim:

• • Medical care and treatment expenses
• • Income loss, including bonuses and commissions, as well as decreased earning potential
  • Pain and suffering
• • Permanent scarring and disfigurement
• • Permanent impairment and disabilities
• • Emotional distress can include depression, PTSD and loss in quality of life.
• • Other financial losses beyond your control that are related to the accident

• #4. Handles Settlement Negotiations & Lawsuits

A detailed settlement request package is prepared by your car accident lawyer for the insurance company. It outlines the legal theory of fault and liability. You will also need evidence to support your claim and prove your damages.

Our Miami Accident Lawyer is a skilled negotiator. He will fight to get the best possible settlement for your case. We are ready to file a personal injury lawsuit if an insurance company refuses negotiations in good faith to reach a fair settlement.
