You’ve been injured and you need a lawyer.
Maybe you were severely injured in a car accident and don’t think you’re getting a fair deal from the other side. Maybe you were hurt while working offshore, and your former employer is giving you trouble. Or maybe insurance adjusters are pressuring you into accepting an amount you suspect may not be fair.
The Practice of Law is Like any Other Industry: Experience Counts
You wouldn’t hire someone to put a new roof on your house without the proper licensing and past experience. Likewise, you shouldn’t hire a lawyer who hasn’t handled your kind of case before—and personal injury cases can be extremely complex.
Personal injury cases often involve multiple types of claims to be brought, multiple parties against whom they will be brought, and complicated legal and insurance issues. A personal injury case may involve physical injuries, property damage, and psychological/emotional damage; it may involve uninsured motorist insurance or an umbrella liability policy. If the vehicle in question was a company car, a personal injury case could involve issues of vicarious liability (respondeat superior) and general negligence.
Moreover, issues of products liability and other laws particular to manufacturers might be involved if an injury was caused due to a mechanical failure. Auto accident cases might be removed to federal court, rather than state court, if the parties were from out of state and the damage was significant.
Even relatively straightforward cases can grow complicated overnight.
Quality Over Quantity
The legal system is complex, which can be compounded when insurance companies don’t act fairly or in good faith. Unfortunately, it can be very difficult to discern the quality of an attorney from the quality of their advertisements or website.
