How a Personal Injury Attorney Can Help Ensure You Receive the Settlement You Deserve

Last updated 1 year ago

Personal injury refers to a branch of the law that covers any wrongdoing or damage done to another person, their property, rights, or reputation. An injury can be physical or psychological, but in order to be considered actionable, it must occur due to the unreasonable or negligent actions of another. Examples of personal injury law causes of action include professional malpractice, wrongful birth, wrongful death, liable, slander, trespass, and nuisance. Are you the victim of personal injury? Then consider how a personal injury attorney can help ensure you receive the settlement you deserve.

Collecting Evidence

You’ll need as much evidence as possible for your personal injury claim in order get a decent settlement. Evidence includes pictures, documents, police reports, medical reports, and any other documentation that can prove your case. Even if you have no intention of going to court, hiring a personal injury attorney will ensure that you have sufficient evidence to defend your case.

Calculating the Damages

A professional attorney will have a better knowledge of which damages you are eligible for. The easiest damages to identify are economic damages, which are actual losses that can be quantified by a personal injury claimant. Examples of economic damages include acquired medical bills, property damage, loss of income from work, estimated future medical bills, and lost earning ability. In addition to your economic damages, a personal injury attorney can help you obtain money for pain and suffering, in which the average multiplier ranges from 1.5-4 times the economic damages.

Appealing a Denial

An injury attorney can help defend your rights in the event your personal injury claim is denied. Personal injury lawyers will narrow down the reasons for denial so that they can dispute or submit the claim for reconsideration. Don’t let an initial denial discourage you from your legal rights; get the compensation you deserve with a professional attorney.
