It’s crucial to know when to contact a personal injury lawyer
To begin, keep in mind that the timing of your contact with an attorney is critical. You will have two years to bring a personal injury claim in most circumstances. There are, however, exceptions. If the at-fault party was a government entity, for example, you would only have six months to file a notice of intent to sue. As a consequence, if you decide to call, you should make the call as quickly as feasible.
Factors to consider while deciding whether or not to hire an attorney
If you were in an accident but it was small and you did not sustain any injuries or major property damage, you probably do not need to call an attorney. However, you should keep in mind that certain injuries do not show up right away. You should be on the lookout for symptoms of concealed injuries and should contact an attorney as soon as possible if you detect any.
Next, evaluate if your mishap was caused by someone or something. If you slipped and fell outside of a bank but it was due to the shoes you were wearing, you would most likely not have a case. If, on the other hand, the identical disaster occurred, but the cause was cracked cement on the bank’s property, you may be able to file a premises liability case.
If an insurance adjuster offers you a settlement, it doesn’t mean you don’t need an attorney
One of the most common blunders made by injured parties is to believe that if the at-fault party offers an insurance settlement, there is nothing further they can do. This is untrue. The fact is that the opposing party’s insurance company just has one goal: to keep their expenses as low as possible. This means they’ll want to settle the lawsuit for as little as possible at initially.
