Why Do I Need A
Personal Injury Lawyer?
If you or a loved have been injured or killed due to the negligence of another, your rights need to be protected. So why do you need to contact and hire a personal injury attorney right now?
- The Insurance Company Already has Lawyers
Every moment you wait to seek professional legal counsel is a moment the insurance company will use against you to defend and deny your claim. Insurance companies and corporations have professionals trained and willing to take advantage of the inexperience of injured victims. That is why you need experienced and aggressive legal counsel from the very beginning to protect your rights and get you the maximum possible compensation.
- Hiring a Lawyer Increases Your Financial Recovery
Not only does hiring a personal injury attorney help you understand your rights and get the medical care you need, it also significantly increases your financial recovery. In 2004, the Insurance Research Council — a research organization created and funded by the insurance industry — did a comprehensive study comparing the value of settlements people received for the same injury when represented and without an attorney. The IRC determined that people who were represented by an attorney more than tripled (3x) their net settlement recovery, even after attorney’s fees were paid. Bottom line, if you do not hire a personal injury attorney for your accident, you are losing the financial compensation you deserve.
- Finding and Paying for Medical Care After an Injury is Harder than you Think
After an accident, many injury victims learn for the first time their local doctors, even their PCP, will not actively treat the victims of automobile collisions. Francis Injury can help you obtain treatment from the highest quality medical providers to evaluate and treat any injuries caused by your motor vehicle accident, whether physical therapy, diagnostic testing or major surgery. Francis Injury can also help you navigate the cost and financial burden associated with your medical care, even if you cannot afford to pay for treatment.
