Do I Need an Injury Attorney?

If you or someone you know has been recently injured in an accident and this accident was due to someone else negligence or reckless, then you might be wondering “Do I need an injury attorney?”. If you want to pursue full compensation and/or all benefits you may be entitled to under the law, it is important to have legal counsel on your side. An experienced attorney can be very helpful, they will be able to advise you of your rights, assess the details of your case, able to use resources to investigate the other party’s liability, and assist in calculating the true value of your claim.

Some types of accidents and injuries almost always necessitate an attorney. Having a personal injury lawyer by your side in these types of cases might just be worth the fees by representing you. The most common accidents in which you can get injured are car accidents, truck accidents, medical malpractice, slip and fall accidents, motorcycle accidents, and more. The injured victim should hire an attorney if they were badly injured, if they don’t know the value of their case once it settles, if they sustain a disability temporarily or permanently, if the insurance company refuses to pay, if there are multiple parties involved in the accident and if the liability is not clear.

Insurance companies are intimidating, that is why in these situations an experienced personal injury attorney can pursue the compensation you deserve for your damages, injuries, and losses. Very often insurance companies will try to speak with the injured victim before they hire an attorney. They will try to do this for many reasons: try to deny your claim, try to avoid negotiating a settlement, and offer a quick settlement that will only benefit them.

Even though in Florida there are no laws or regulations that stipulate you need to consult an attorney after an accident. The injured victim needs to speak with an attorney as soon as possible after the accident. Even if you might not need an attorney, consulting an experienced attorney in Florida can’t harm you but only help you. Most personal injury law firms offer free consultations about their case to all potential clients, just like the Law Office of Ruth E. Johnson.
