If you’re like most people, you’re probably not all that familiar with the injury compensation process. However, if you end up being injured at work or as a result of someone else’s actions or negligence, now is not a time to let inexperience guide your way. There are specific times when you absolutely need to take an initial meeting with an injury lawyer before making a decision on how to proceed with your case. In today’s blog, we explain some of the instances where you should take a meeting with an injury lawyer before moving forward with your claim.
When To Get An Injury Lawyer Involved
If any of the following applies to your situation, we strongly recommend setting up an initial consultation with an injury firm like Margolis Law Firm before making a plan on how you’ll want to proceed with your case:
1. Legitimacy Concerns – If anyone is contesting or questioning the legitimacy of your injuries or the details of your accident, you need to consult with a lawyer. There is a very good possibility that the insurance company will have a team of lawyers on their side, and they can paint a very different picture of the events in question if you are not ready to counter their claims. Your lawyer has made a career out of providing credibility to their client’s claims, and we can ensure your story isn’t drowned out by a false narrative from the other side.
2. Significant Payday On The Line – If there is significant compensation on the line, don’t leave your payday up to chance. You may only get one shot to prove your case, so let a professional assist.
3. You Want To Maximize Your Payday – You may be able to secure an injury award on your own, but it’s highly unlikely that you’ll be able to maximize your compensation award without the help of an attorney. There are so many benefits available to injured parties or injured workers, and you may be leaving significant compensation on the line if you aren’t aware of all your options or can’t accurately calculate the value of your award. Not only can we put a fair valuation on your case, but we know how to support our valuation when questioned by the insurance company.
4. Complex Injuries – Some injuries heal rather quickly and you never think about them again, but oftentimes work injuries or health issues stemming from a car accident can have a long lasting impact on your health. You may be able to get compensation for your current medical bills, but if you’ll have lifelong effects from the accident or can expect related expenses down the road, you may not know how to incorporate these issues into your claim. A lawyer can help ensure you get paid for all current and future expenses pertaining to your injuries.
5. Peace Of Mind – Odds are life is going to get a bit frantic after your accident. You may be concerned about your health or the financial stability of you or your family. You’re already stressed enough without adding the prospect of developing and arguing your injury claim in court. Let us handle the heavy lifting in regards to your case so that you can focus on what matters most, your health and your family. For peace of mind throughout your injury claim, turn to an attorney.
6. In Need Of Advice – Finally, if you have questions or are in need of advice, take a meeting with an injury lawyer. You are under no obligation to hire the attorney during this meeting, but oftentimes just taking 15-30 minutes to sit down with a professional, understand the stakes and work through your options can bring immense clarity to your situation. We’ll be able to answer your questions, but we also believe that we’ll be able to showcase the value we can bring to your situation. If it feels like a good fit after this meeting, consider trusting your case to the lawyer.
Personally we think that anyone who is considering filing for workers’ compensation or personal injury compensation would benefit from meeting with an injury lawyer, but that’s especially true for those in the above situations.
