When You Need A Personal Injury LawyerFrank Azar

Though you may have heard successful stories of people working directly with insurance companies after a personal

injury, it is often more than worth the money to hire a personal injury lawyer. Having legal guidance for the

complex array of legal rules and incentives is invaluable. If you’re dealing with any of the following situations, you’ll

definitely want to make sure you have professional counsel.

The amount you’re compensated for an accident is directly tied to the severity of your injuries, recover time, and the

amount of your medical bills. As your potential compensation rises, so does your potential range of

compensation widen. If you’re dealing with severe injuries, you’ll definitely want to spend the money to have a lawyer

on your side to make sure your compensation is on the higher end. So too with long-term or permanent injuries.

Assessing the worth of an injury like this requires experience in order to get the most you can, particularly if you don’t

know how long you’ll be out of commission.

In the last couple decades, there has been a significant rise in claims involving toxic exposure. Contaminants are

increasingly found in the environment (air, soil, water, etc) as well as in our food and other household products. The trouble is that exposure is often difficult to prove. An

experienced lawyer will often be able to provide the required scientific data, which is necessary to penetrate the defense of

major chemical corporations and their expensive legal counsel.

Surprisingly to many, medical malpractice suits are one of the most complex. If your injury is the result of professional carelessness or incompetence by a healthcare professional, you’ll definitely want someone on your side with specific experience. Hospitals, doctors, laboratories – the medical

world will be very prepared.

If you’re working without a personal injury lawyer and the insurance company simply refuses your claim, it’s not too

late to hire a lawyer yourself. Thought the lawyer fee will cut into your ultimate compensation, it’s much better than

nothing. Better still, hire a lawyer from the get-go and avoid the extra time and grief of dealing with insurance companies

on your own in the first place.
