A knowledgeable personal injury attorney can get you the money you deserve.

Why It Pays to Have an Experienced Personal Injury Lawyer on Your Side

If you have suffered an injury — in a car or truck accident, a slip and fall, a dog bite, a pedestrian crash, or any other type of accident — you know first-hand how devastating it can be. Your injuries may be life-altering, and you may be struggling to pay your bills and deal with the day-to-day reality of life after being seriously injured in an accident.

The first and most important step that anyone should take after an accident is making sure that their medical needs are met. Seeking medical attention can help make sure that you make a full medical recovery. But after you have received initial medical treatment, you should then consider your next steps. Hiring an experienced personal injury attorney can help you protect your legal rights and help to ensure you can make a full financial recovery. While money won’t necessarily make you whole again after an accident, it can help you get your life back on track, allowing you to move forward.

A seasoned personal injury attorney understands the ins and outs of the personal injury legal system. Most cases are handled through insurance companies. While insurance companies advertise themselves as being your friend (“on your side,” “in good hands,” “like a good neighbor,” etc.), the reality is that insurance companies are a business, and they are there to make money. They profit by paying as little money as possible on claims. They can pay less money on claims by discouraging injured parties from hiring personal injury attorneys, or by convincing inexperienced lawyers to accept settlements that are far below the actual value of the case. An experienced personal injury attorney knows the tricks that insurance companies use to try to reduce the value of personal injury claims — and fight back against them. With a skilled lawyer on your side, you will have a much higher chance of getting the money you deserve from the insurance company — likely without ever setting foot inside of a courtroom.

However, in some cases, you will choose to file a lawsuit and pursue your case through the court process. This may be necessary to force the insurance company to pay you a fair amount for your injuries. Personal injury lawsuits are complex, so they require a thorough understanding of the rules of court. An experienced personal injury attorney knows exactly how the judicial system works and how to get the best possible settlement for your unique case.

If you are concerned about being able to afford an attorney, the good news is that the personal injury attorneys at the Law Offices of Larry H. Parker operate on a contingency fee basis. This means that you do not have to pay anything unless they get a favorable settlement or judgment for you. There is absolutely no risk in hiring a personal injury attorney for your case — and a huge potential benefit in hiring a lawyer to help you navigate the legal process and get the best possible results.
