A personal injury lawyer’s goal is to make his or her client whole and to discourage future offenders from committing similar offenses. However, not all personal injury cases settle and the injured party needs to hire a lawyer. An experienced personal injury lawyer will make sure you get the maximum compensation for your injuries.
To illustrate the risks involved in not hiring an attorney, we’ll use a hypothetical example: A 32-year-old single mother is severely injured in a truck accident. She needs back surgery, and even after surgery she is highly unlikely to make a full recovery.
The insurance companies will begin calling regularly to try to close the case. If our victim had hired an attorney, the calls would go to the attorney’s office, and the attorney could fend off the adjuster’s low-ball offers and attempts to solicit damaging information.
