How Can an Accident Attorney Help with a Personal Injury Claim?

If you are currently recovering from car accident injuries that have forced you to miss work, hiring an attorney to assist with the claims process may seem like a luxury that you cannot afford. Fortunately, most accident lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, which means their payment comes out of the settlement that the client manages to secure.

Depending on the facts of your case, a seasoned attorney who is a skilled negotiator may be able to help you recover compensation for medical bills, lost wages, emotional distress, and other damages. When calculating these damages, you may be surprised at how quickly they add up, but that is just the nature of motor vehicle collisions.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, car accidents cost the country $871 billion in societal harm and economic loss in 2010 alone. Of course, at the individual level, incurring even a few thousand dollars in damages can threaten your financial security.

When serious injuries prevent you from providing for your family, every penny counts. As a result, you may be inclined to file a personal injury claim on your own so you do not have to use a portion of the settlement to pay for a lawyer.

I thank God for Digger & David. I don’t know what we would have done if it hadn’t have been for them.

In many cases, though, hiring an attorney actually pays for itself because accident victims manage to secure a lot more compensation than they would have been able to negotiate for on their own. Hiring qualified legal counsel will also allow you to focus on your health instead of worrying about meeting deadlines or navigating complicated legal proceedings.

The reassurance from Digger and his staff gave me that renewed hope that it’s going to be okay down the road.

Contact Us Today We will work to get you the best outcome for your case

You have enough to worry about without having to run all over town gathering documents that will help build your claim. When you work with a reputable law firm that has extensive financial resources, you can be sure they will leave no stone unturned while gathering evidence on your behalf. This might include medical records, police reports, photographs of the scene, and witness testimony.

  1. By Calculating Damages

Tracking medical bills and lost wages is easy, but what about calculating loss of earning capacity or pain and suffering? An attorney will track and calculate all potential damages and ensure you do not accept anything less than what you deserve.

  1. By Negotiating on Your Behalf

Negotiating is an art, but insurance adjusters often treat it like a battle. They use bullying tactics to intimidate vulnerable claimants into accepting unfair settlements. By hiring an experienced attorney to negotiate with the insurance company on your behalf, you will have peace of mind knowing you are not leaving any money on the table.

If are looking for a compassionate accident lawyer in Marksville to represent you, contact Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers. Call 800-522-6733 to schedule a free consultation and start building your personal injury claim.
