As a professional team of Personal Injury Attorneys, we fully understand the difference between a victim trying to defend themselves in an accident case and one with an expert handling their defense.
For some, these differences aren’t always apparent. However, they become obvious when you compare the compensation one case receives versus another or look at the peace of mind and time someone gains when they entrust a professional and focus on their recovery. In this post, we’ll explore specific situations that show how having a lawyer by your side makes a big difference.
Levels the Playing Field
Insurance companies have a skilled team ready to reduce, delay, and even ignore the cases they face. That’s their job. Believing that a victim can single-handedly take on people who do this for a living is unrealistic. A personal injury lawyer evens the odds.
Gathering Evidence and Investigating the Case
Knowing what to collect from all the available information and securing the relevant testimonies, police reports, and medical records to support your case rather than undermine it is critical. Attorneys can also uncover crucial details or information that an untrained eye might overlook.
Protection Against Manipulative or Abusive Tactics
Insurance adjusters are known to use questionable tactics against accident victims. They might try to make victims believe they share an interest in a quick resolution, play with so-called “fixed” compensation amounts, or use other strategies to minimize the payout for the company they work for.
A Lawyer Knows How to Draft a Persuasive Demand Letter
Your claim could have everything going for it: no responsibility on your part for the accident, witnesses, and evidence of the damage suffered. However, without a well-organized demand letter, with the case fully prepared and supported by relevant evidence, the insurance companies will take their time and drag out the process.
With an attorney’s help, your demand letter won’t be ignored.
A Lawyer Is Prepared to Represent You in Court
If all previous negotiations fail, the case must go to court. Having a professional attorney by your side is often the difference between walking away empty-handed or receiving a higher compensation than what was previously being negotiated.
