If you’re looking into how to find the best personal injury lawyer, it’s probably because something happened in your life. Seemingly out of nowhere, life got complicated fast. Now you have some decisions to make.
You might be asking if you should hire an attorney to handle your claim or handle negotiations yourself. You can talk to the insurance company directly, but there are several reasons that’s not the best route. Here are five benefits of hiring the right Texas personal injury lawyer.
No one has been through exactly what you’re going through in your situation. The person at fault caused your injury through a set of unique circumstances. You can Google personal injury law all day long researching what to do in your case, but the best personal injury attorneys have experience with similar claims. They know how to advise you so you have the best chance at a fair settlement.
For example, think about just the variables involved in a car accident claim:
The injury varies depending on whether or not the passengers where wearing a seatbelt, whether your vehicle was struck from the front, side or rear, the speed of the collision and more. And the injury types aren’t the only variables. You also have different types of vehicles.
The right personal injury lawyer has already represented clients who have experienced situations and injuries like yours. They know what questions to ask you and your doctors to determine how much your injury might be worth. They don’t just have a law degree, they have experience helping victims in different kinds of personal injury cases.
Frankly, there’s a deeper reason experience matters. At Monsour Law Firm, because our attorneys deal with this day after day, it impacts us inside.
Over and over we’ve dealt with clients who were hurt and insurance companies that didn’t want to give them what they deserved. Frankly, it makes us angry. We don’t just fight for our clients because they hire us, we go after the parties responsible because they need to do what’s right.
The Insurance Research Council (IRC) studied more than 6,000 people who were injured in a vehicle accident. The study considered what type of injury they received, how much the damage to their vehicle cost, what type of medical treatment followed and their resulting settlement.
Victims who hired a personal injury attorney received settlements up to 40 percent higher than those who didn’t. Another IRC study found victims received up to three and a half times more when they were represented by an attorney, and that amount was after deducting attorney fees.
Three and a half times more. Let’s say without a lawyer, the insurance company offers $10,000. Three and a half times that would be $35,000. That’s a huge difference!
If you’re like most people you already had a full plate before your injury happened. Now there’s even more to do. The right personal injury attorney will handle jobs you don’t have time for, time-consuming headaches like these:
You can focus on getting your life back to normal. We’ll do the work and keep you in the loop.
You know those questions that flood your mind as soon as the lights go out? The unknown causes stress. Getting answers brings you peace of mind.
When people come in for a free consultation, in the first ten minutes they ask the questions that have been driving them nuts.
How much is my personal injury case worth?
Will the insurance company settle or will we have to go to trial?
What if it was partly my fault?
What if I’m not sure whose fault it was?
How long will it take to get a settlement?
What if I was in a car wreck and the other person was uninsured?
What if I didn’t go to the doctor right away?
If I hire a personal injury attorney, what will it cost me?
We can answer all those questions, and it doesn’t cost a dime to sit down and talk.
If receiving a higher settlement, working with an expert and peace of mind aren’t enough, there’s another benefit to hiring the right personal injury attorney. You don’t pay unless you receive money. It doesn’t cost you anything to get started.
This wasn’t something you planned for. You shouldn’t have to spend your hard-earned savings getting another person or company to pay you what you deserve. When you schedule a free consultation with Monsour Law Firm, you don’t have to.
We work on a contingency basis. That means we take your case and see it all the way through without you having to give us a dime out of your pocket. If it takes years, we’ll never come to you and ask you to give us money.
If you receive a settlement, we get a percentage of what you receive. However, if you don’t, you owe us nothing.
