Why it is Important to Work with a Personal Injury Lawyer
Every year in Stanislaus County, there are hundreds and even thousands of traffic collisions, many of which may result in traumatic injury or death. Depending on the severity of a motor vehicle collision, there may be a wide array of expenses. There may be property damage, medical bills, lost income, and other losses incurred. After a crash, injured parties may find themselves filing a claim for damages with the insurance carrier. While insurance companies may seem helpful, that is not always the case. Insurers are focused on protecting their bottom line and will do so by finding ways of avoiding how to pay fair compensation on personal injury claims.
Claimants should not accept an initial settlement offer from the insurance carrier until they have discussed their case with an experienced injury lawyer. The reason is that such offers may not take into account the full extent of losses, particularly those in the future. It is essential as an injured party to protect yourself and retain legal counsel right away. Most do not realize that insurers have teams of investigators, experts, and lawyers who start working immediately after a crash involving their insureds. This is especially true in cases involving large commercial trucks. Hiring the right attorney may help in leveling the playing field.

About Our Law Firm
In a multi-vehicle collision, the crash is just the start of the issues that may arise. Navigating the claims process alone may be challenging, particularly when multiple parties are involved and liability for the crash is disputed. In addition, if there is one party responsible for the crash, it may present unique challenges to injured parties if there is minimal insurance coverage. Hiring the right lawyer is essential in overcoming the defense tactics insurers may use. What is great about attorneys that handle personal injury cases is that most operate under a contingency fee arrangement, meaning that a lawyer will only get paid if they obtain fair compensation on behalf of their client.
