4 Ways a Personal Injury Lawyer Can Help Your Case

September 11, 2023

Whenever you suffer an injury due to someone else's negligence, that party could be held liable for related costs. Whether you are injured in a car accident, a slip and fall accident, or some other mishap, you should call a personal injury lawyer. According to IBISWorld, there are currently 50,693 personal injury lawyers and attorneys businesses in the United States. This means there are many options for assistance. Here are four ways personal injury lawyers can help your case.

1. Identify Parties That Might Be Liable for Damages

Determining who is liable for causing your personal injury depends on how the injury happened and what might have caused or contributed to it. For example, you might slip and fall on debris left by a vendor while you are inside a store. The owners and operators of that property might be liable. Personal injury lawyers can help to identify all potentially liable parties and help to hold them accountable.

2. Gather Evidence and Witnesses

Your attorney also can help you to gather evidence that might prove who is liable for your injuries. That evidence might include finding one or more witnesses who saw the accident or other mishap that caused your injury. Your attorney can also help you to gather evidence of your injuries and how they are directly related to the incident in question.

3. Cease Communications from Insurers and Attorneys

When you retain a personal injury lawyer, you can notify any insurers, attorneys, or other parties and give them your attorney's contact information. After you do that, they cannot contact you directly, which helps to save you from annoying or aggravating calls. All communications must flow through your attorney until the matter is settled.

4. Make Sure Valid Insurance Claims Are Paid in Full

Injury lawyers can help you file strongly supported insurance claims if you are injured in a car accident or when the accused party has liability insurance available to help pay for your injury costs. Personal injury lawyers also can help ensure you file claims that include pain and suffering and other harm that you might not otherwise consider when filing an insurance claim. Once filed, your attorney can ensure any settlement offer fully covers your damages and is paid in a timely manner.
