Why Hire a Personal Injury Lawyer?

Personal InjuryWhen you or a loved one is injured in an accident, you may wonder whether or not you should hire a personal injury lawyer. It can be a hard decision to make, but in the end, it comes down to whether you want to go it alone or to be made as close to whole as possible.

Is your focus solely on recovering your health? Or do you want to get involved in the telephone calls, paperwork, negotiation and possible trial work necessary to recover damages and see justice served to the injuring party?

Maybe all you want is for life to go back to the way it was before the accident happened. Unfortunately, that may not be possible. But it is possible for you to recover for some of the financial, physical, and emotional losses caused by the injury.

Here are a few ways a lawyer can help you do that.

Cover All Damages

A personal injury lawyer can help make sure that you are aware and educated on all the different types of losses a person can recover. In the case of a more serious injury, this is crucial knowledge because more money is at stake. Unless you are keen on New Hampshire laws, regulations, and settlements, a personal injury lawyer would be the number one source for determining which damages apply to your case and how to win them.

Minor Injuries Can Become Major

From whiplash to a traumatic spinal cord injury, there is a wide range of injuries that can result from an accident. When deciding to hire a personal injury lawyer, many people base their decision on the severity of the injuries obtained. It's not uncommon for people who appear to only have minor injuries after an accident to forgo hiring an attorney because they can settle small claims through the insurance company. Insurance companies love this because they likely end up paying less and have closed the case forever. But in some cases, over time those minor injuries become more extensive than previously assumed.

If you have already settled your case, you're out of luck.

Even a fender bender can result in serious and permanent injuries such as herniated disks and nerve damage. There is no correlation between the amount of damage to the car and the severity of the injury. Symptoms may not occur for days or even weeks, which experienced personal injury lawyers understand well. A consultation with a personal injury attorney’s office can provide important insight about how to move forward before your injuries get worse.

Keeping Your Best Interest in Mind

Working alongside a personal injury lawyer will guarantee that throughout the entire process, your best interest will be at the forefront of all decisions and settlements. This can differ from what insurance companies might want, which is usually to pay out as little as possible toward each case. Your personal injury attorney’s goals, unlike the insurance company’s, will be aligned with yours: recovering the full value of your losses.

You're already dealing with the mental, emotional, and physical pain of a personal injury. Let a professional carry the burden of fighting for you. The right personal injury lawyer will handle your case fully and efficiently, allowing you to focus on putting your life back together.
