    The Benefits of Hiring a Personal Injury Attorney

    Getting injured from a car accident doesn’t necessarily call for hiring a personal injury attorney. Yet it’s no secret that insurance companies attempt to profit off victims by offering a lower settlement than they’re entitled to. Whenever an insurance company pays a high settlement, it loses money. If you believe an insurance company owes a substantial settlement, consider the benefits of hiring a personal injury attorney.

     

    Hiring a personal injury attorney can help you better grasp your rights under personal injury laws in your state. Many times, insurance companies take advantage of their claimant’s ignorance of such laws and cheat them out of a fair settlement. A personal injury attorney can also help you maintain open communication between you and your insurance company.

    Here is a closer look at the benefits of hiring a personal injury attorney.

     

    Leverage the law to your advantage

    An attorney’s knowledge about personal injury laws can improve your chances of winning your claim. One area of personal injury laws an attorney can advise you on is the statute of limitations, or the length of time you must file a lawsuit or else lose the chance of ever doing so. For example, the statute of limitations for filing a car accident lawsuit in many states is within two years of the accident’s date.

     

    Get a fair settlement

    Insurance companies will try to settle with an injured person instead of going to court, even though the injured party actually deserves a bigger settlement. If that is the situation, a personal injury attorney can bring your case in front of a judge and defend you.

     

    Yes, there is that price for legal representation. You may be responsible for court fees and related costs. However, most personal injury lawyers work on a contingency fee, meaning they are compensated if they win the personal injury claim on your behalf. The contingency fee is usually one-third to 40% of the settlement.
