You need an attorney for several reasons:
1. Pursuing recovery for any construction injury case is a complicated legal process which requires the expertise and experience of a highly trained construction injury attorney. There are many rules and strategies that take years for an attorney to learn and acquire. Therefore, never attempt to handle your legal case on your own.
2. We can help guide you through the L&I process. Having an attorney makes it easier to seek the medical treatment you need through the most competent doctors at no upfront cost. Knowing an attorney has taken your case, will give doctors the security that their bills will be paid once the case settles. This is especially important to those who don’t have health insurance and cannot afford to pay for the cost of the medical treatment needed.
3. Only an experienced lawyer can assess the value of your case after learning the full nature and extent of any negligence involved, the value of your claim for pain and suffering, and the cost of future treatment and rehabilitation or retraining. Chances are, without an attorney, you wouldn’t have much of a case.
4. Most importantly, you need an attorney because the insurance company will offer you very little money for your injury. Only a competent, aggressive, and experienced lawyer has the means, the knowledge, and the ability to sue the at fault parties and the insurance companies and force them to give you the appropriate settlement that you are entitled to. Insurance companies have a duty to protect and defend their own insured (the negligent party). They also have a duty to act in the best interest of their shareholders by saving money. You need someone on your side who has your best interest in mind.
5. Lastly, when you have a lawyer, you don’t deal with any of the hassle, paperwork, headache and worry of dealing with insurance companies. You just sit back, knowing a skilled, competent, experienced lawyer who has your best interest in mind is going to handle your case and deal with the headache.
