When Should I Hire An Injury Attorney?

It is crucial to retain a personal injury attorney whenever you have been injured in an accident caused by someone else’s negligence, carelessness, or recklessness. Everything that you do in the wake of an accident can influence the outcome of your lawsuit. Even the slightest mistake could lead to a substantially lower settlement offer or judgment. The Dietrich Law Firm P.C.’s battle-tested personal injury lawyers recommend contacting us immediately after your accident. Having a legal expert carefully review your claim and answer questions can help you better understand your legal rights. After consulting with our highly experienced and knowledgeable attorneys, you can decide the best way to proceed with your case. 

Reasons To Hire A Personal Injury Lawyer

Even minor rear-end accidents can severely injure your neck, back, and spinal cord. Regardless of how simple you think your claim is, even the most straightforward personal injury cases regularly involve various intricacies. No victim should ever have to go through this minefield alone. You should always retain the services of a personal injury law firm, especially in the following situations:

1. You suffered a severe injury. With the potential implications on your future and way of life, far too much is at stake not to consider hiring a practiced attorney. 
2. Your case involves complex legal elements. Some injury cases involve complicated areas of the law, such as government entities or multiple parties. 
3. The insurance company is acting in bad faith. Some companies routinely engage in bad faith tactics to avoid paying victims fair compensation.  
4. The defense or insurance company claims that you contributed to the accident. Defense attorneys often try to blame victims for causing their injuries. Comparative negligence could significantly decrease your compensation by the percentage that you were at fault. 
5. You do not know the value of your case. To maximize your total compensation, a lawyer knows how to accurately calculate the value of your injuries, especially non-economic damage like pain and suffering.
