Personal injuries are never good experiences. They tend to be costly, time-consuming, and very stressful. If someone else is liable for your injuries, you may be able to alleviate some of the stress of the experience by filing a claim for compensation to help assist with the costs that come with suffering a personal injury.

Filing a claim for compensation is no easy task. You must consider the many layers of law involved in personal injury cases and have knowledge of the law; liability laws, defining negligence, statutes of limitation, and damage caps just to name a few. Building a case is no cakewalk either. From gathering evidence and proper documentation to finding experts to testify, conducting depositions, dealing with an insurance company and defense attorneys, and even properly filing claims paperwork – making a claim can be a very overwhelming process.

The benefits of hiring a personal injury lawyer to aid in the process of handling a personal injury case can be great. A knowledgeable personal injury attorney will be able to handle the process of building your case so that you can focus on your recovery.

The most common deterrent to hiring a lawyer is the extra costs that come with representation. Who wants to add on more cost to the already expensive experience of suffering a major injury? The personal injury team at TorHoerman Law understands that their clients are already weighed down with the costs from medical bills, lost wages, and other costs associated with personal injuries such as those that occurred from a car accident. That is why our personal injury team works on a contingency fee basis, meaning that we don’t charge anything until you receive compensation for damages. If you don’t win, we don’t get paid, making us just as motivated as you are to build the strongest case possible.

 

Additional Benefits of Hiring a Personal Injury Lawyer

There are other benefits of hiring a personal injury lawyer other than an attorney’s ability to navigate the law and build a strong case.

A personal injury lawyer will be able to properly assess your situation and compare their other cases to decide the best response for you, be it filing an insurance claim, taking legal action, negotiating a settlement, or bringing your case to trial. Our firm offers free no-obligation case evaluations services. If you have a potential personal injury case, we would be happy to review it with you.

Besides an insider’s opinion on your case, your attorney also provides a secondary, objective insight into your situation. Often times, the injured party has a tendency to take the incident too personally, letting emotions get the best of their decision-making. Irrational actions can cause a world of problems for a personal injury claim. Your attorney will guide you towards the best possible response and actions, which will be most beneficial for you in the long-run.

Over time, a personal injury attorney makes connections to a system of experts and creates a network of credible professionals in a variety of fields. These connections will benefit you immensely when the time comes to find experts to testify on your behalf, which is common in personal injury cases.

If the defense has legal representation, you are at a huge disadvantage unless you have a lawyer, yourself. The defense attorney will take advantage of even the smallest mistakes you make and can push to have your case dismissed for a variety of reasons. Even if you don’t make mistakes and have a strong case, a good defense lawyer will work to coax you into a smaller settlement than you deserve or even push you into a trial that they believe will not produce a favorable outcome for you. Your personal injury lawyer will ensure that no misguided steps are taken and that you receive the full value of compensation for damages.

So, while hiring an attorney may seem like more work and more costs, this is not really true. Our personal injury team is free until your case is won because we work on a contingency basis. Our team is always at your disposal. We are here to walk you through the process of getting you the compensation you deserve and answer any questions you have along the way.

If you believe you have a personal injury case, contact TorHoerman Law at any time. Our team of experienced personal injury attorneys will be happy to advise you through our free no-obligation case evaluation process.

It was really nice how you pointed out that by having an attorney to stand beside me, I can be sure that there’s someone who will guide me so that I know the best possible actions and responses to make the case a success.

  5. I have been interested in anything related to the law these days, and now, I am focused on the field of personal injury. It was great how you pointed out that hiring PI lawyers were important because they will be able to assess the situation of their clients, compare it their previous cases, and decide on the best course of action to ensure that the case becomes a success. Normal people do not know that. I will keep this in mind and make more research as it seems interesting. Thank you!

  7. It’s interesting to learn that personal injury attorneys do not charge their clients upfront but rather win on the case first before seeking for charges. That is, in fact, a good service that you can rely on because they will make sure that they will do everything they can to win the case and get paid for services. If something happens to me and I got injured in the workplace, I wouldn’t hesitate in hiring an experienced personal injury attorney to help me win the case so I get the compensation that I deserve.

  11. I find it worrying when you said that filing for a personal injury case would take a lot of effort since one has to gather evidence through proper documentation, conducting depositions, and dealing with adjusters. When you said this, this convinced me to look for a legal office to ask for help from tomorrow for my cousin who got his arm in a sling because his manager pushed him too hard at work. Doing this will help her get enough money from his manager, employer, and insurance provider.

Thanks for helping me understand all the ways that a lawyer can help with personal injury cases.
