The Value Of A Personal Injury Attorney
Finder Law Serves Clients Across Jefferson City, Columbia, and Central Missouri
If you’ve been injured in an accident, you may wonder if you should contact an attorney about your injuries. An experienced personal injury attorney, like Daniel Finder at Finder Law, can help you with compensation for many types of accidents. A personal injury case is one that is based on the negligence of someone else. This could be anything from a car accident, slip and fall, medical malpractice, or work-related injuries. In order to receive compensation, a claim is often filed with the other party’s insurance company. Once a claim is filed, you can ask for damages based on your medical costs, loss of income, pain and suffering, and other types of losses. If a fair settlement cannot be reached, your attorney can file a lawsuit on your behalf.
Getting Ready to Work with an Attorney
The first step an attorney will take following your accident will be gathering evidence to support your claims. This may include medical records, billing records, police reports, photographs, and witness statements. They will also discuss with you what happened during the accident to understand the full picture of the incident. Determining a fair settlement will include the consideration of the severity of your injuries, out of pocket costs incurred, the type of injury, loss of income, and other factors such as emotional distress. This step of gathering information is vital to ensure that you have a strong case of negligence against the other party. The legal team here at Finder Law is experienced in this process and will guide you through this often complicated process.
What Happens Next?
Once all the evidence is gathered, a personal injury attorney will help file your claim. Your attorney will work with the negligent party’s insurance company to attempt to negotiate a fair settlement on your behalf. If a fair settlement cannot be reached, your attorney will file a lawsuit and represent you in a trial. Whether it’s a settlement or a trial, your attorney will work to ensure that your damages are compensated, and you receive a fair settlement for your suffering. An experienced attorney is your best advocate to ensure that the entirety of your losses are considered in the amount you’re compensated for your injuries. At Finder Law, we will work tirelessly to get you the maximum amount for your claim and ensure you’re treated with dignity and respect.
What Should a Settlement Cover?
Any settlement you receive for your losses should cover your medical expenses, loss of income, property damage, and the contingency fee due to the attorney. If you’ve been injured in an accident, don’t hesitate to reach out to Finder Law for help. We can help make sure that you get fairly compensated, and best of all, we work on a contingency fee- meaning we don’t get paid unless you get paid. We know how much an accident can impact your life and the stress and hardship it can cause.
