When to Hire an Injury Lawyer
You should consider hiring a North Carolina personal injury lawyer after any accident resulting in injury, but it’s especially important in any of the following circumstances:
When Your Injuries Are Severe
If your injuries are severe, the stakes are too high for you to handle your claim on your own. The guidance of our attorneys can be invaluable during every step of the claims process, meaning there is no reason to delay your decision.
The more severe your injuries are, the greater the likelihood that your financial compensation will be substantial. You could be entitled to compensation for your medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages related to your injury.
We understand what it takes to maximize compensation in a personal injury lawsuit. We have successfully recovered fair compensation for countless clients, and we look forward to doing the same for you. For example, our attorneys recently settled a commercial truck accident for more than $9.4 million on behalf of our client (see disclaimer below).
When There Are Multiple Parties Responsible for Your Injuries
Any personal injury case has the potential to be complex. Generally, you can count on more complications when there are multiple defendants. The more defendants, the more difficult it can be to reach a reasonable settlement. Our attorneys can break through the common roadblocks with these types of cases and help you get the compensation you deserve. Call us today at 1-800-525-7111.
When Insurance Companies Are Involved
When insurance companies are covering the at-fault party, you can count on the defendant having a team of experienced lawyers assisting them. Given the risk of personal liability, most people responsible for causing a serious injury will notify their insurance company right away.
In most cases, the insurance company and their attorneys will begin crafting a defense to your injury claims right away. Every day that you delay will give the other side more time to prepare.
Insurance companies are also known to pressure parties who do not have an attorney. Without legal counsel advocating for you, it will be difficult to know if the settlement offers made by the other side are fair or reasonable. The sooner you get an attorney, the sooner you can even the playing field against the defendant.
